 yep boggey your right 3 teams on way to get the second third and fourth because pondskipper will have first all soed up so you can have sixth lol

[paperchhound]

Pondskipper, I heard those Pennsylvania IS guys  think they are going to win the 2 man tournament this year. As I remember Kurt and Bigbuck were the only 2 that even cut the leader board, right?.

  i was up this weekend to install some cameras to keep an eye on ya boggie so i know ware not to fish ha ha he he.

[paperchhound]

you will be splitting that money of yours with me and the pondskipper. that steak will tast sooooooooo good 

[paperchhound]

ya what you said. ice will be good hear if it gets cold again my father has ben out every day last week so we will see what the future brings us

[adkRoy]

ADK will you stop me before I hurt myself?

Nope, I want to see how big a run-on sentence an old man can type. 

[hardwater61]

Where the heck do you PA guys find places to ice fish. Are you up in the mountains? Bigbuck is showing me some king sized crappy in his emails as well. .

Jim, yes we are in the mountains...Jerimiah Johnson and Zeb McCahon live here   There were some spots that were ok last week...I haven't looked today yet but there can't be much...if any...ice left on most ponds.  I didn't make it out last week but did check a pond last Sunday...maybe 3" of white...not good for me.

[PerchPounder86]

,Jbogey...   I think it was you my buddy and I met in the parking lot... U drive a yellow truck rite.  If that is you... I cant believe u walked damn near clear across the pond.. Without spudding at that.  Uve got some brass ones my man.  As bogey said... Ice was real iffy by noon... Im not going back till we get some real cold

[xc700]

i just have to ask about the two man tourney if its 40$to get in based on 50 teams what happened to the $675 missing from payout is that the cost of putting it on? i like the format sounds good

[Stu45]

Boggey, thanks for the heads up. Its nice to get some close-to-realtime updates on the ice.  Too bad you forgot the camera, that really would have made a statement.  Temps here in Rochester aren't looking good until later in the week hopefully a bit cooler at the Pond.  At this point I almost wish I never shut my water off in my camp.  Someone should bring Al Gore out on the pond to see the trouble he invented.  Maybe I should have my kids call HIM and bug him about not having enough ice.  Be safe!

[hardwater61]

:clap:Hey...don't forget the internet...we all wouldn't be here if it wasn't for 'Ol AL!

[Iceydan]

:clap:Hey...don't forget the internet...we all wouldn't be here if it wasn't for 'Ol AL!

Not an Al Gore fan however if you're telling me that we all remember 20 or 30 yrs ago when the ice was 12 -15 " by now and were driving vehicles onto the ice and now we will be lucky to have ice by the end of June I would have to say that Climate change is real. Why that is I do not know but we don't have ice and that seems to be a trend not an anomaly.

[Dogger]

Cellular waves and WiFi.... They'll correlate the two eventually... They're everywhere bet that warms the air up a bit...

Global warming/climate change/weather pattern changes have been here LONG before we got here and they will keep on going...for many reasons...not just what Gore and others tell us...and it all won't be fixed by what they are telling us we should do.  Whatever happens, we just have to make the best of it...there are no magic wands.

well  i  been  around   alittle   while  and i  can  remeber  many  ears  losing  ice  !  the  problem  this  year  was   snow   then  cold    insulanting  the  ice  .....  this  was  just  a  jan   thaw   ....go  shoot  a  few  bunnys  and    life  on  the  lake  will  be   back  in  a  week   don't  worry

Xc,
The Eastern PA Deaf Bass Fishermen use this tournament to provide seed money for their own in house tournament for there members only tournament.  These guys (BigBuck and Vince ) work there tails off and put on a great tournament to promote the greater icefishing community and to promote their organization serving not only PA members but parts of New Jersey and New Yoyk as well. Anything we can do to assisst them and the work they do with in there organization is greatly appreciated and worthwhile. Hope you will grab a partner and try to beat me and Drowndin Dots who plan on taking first place.

Thanks Boggery1  yes it s correct....    let s go 

[pondskipper]

Sunday night they are calling -4 degrees at night here in sandy creek

[PerchPounder86]

Yup perchpounder.
    That was me. I was drillin holes on my way out and I stayed on the black ice. I was pretty comfortable on the way out, but noticed how fast the ice was deteriorating, as i said it was a scary walk back in. I noticed you were a little smarter than me and left the ice about half an hour before me. As I said that was my first case of stupit this year. Did you guys do any better than I did?  I was getting on the pike pretty serious.

 

No we did terrible.....  Got one   dink and a few bites.   Did catch a pretty good buzz though.   I live in fulton so give me a shout if you are looking for someone to fish with.

[augie583]

Did anybody go up to the pond today? Looking to go out tomorrow morning if possible. Thanks for the help.

[augie583]

PondSkipper. i am fairly new to this site and looking for any status on the pond. Was looking to go out tomorrow morning if there is good ice. Thanks for the help.

[augie583]

Thanks bullheaded. guess ill wait for the weekend.

[pondskipper]

I think last year was better.

[pondskipper]

Ok Jim.  I checked greens point. Not good. The bay it's self is still froze over. Between gp and the island is open. I saw lots of sand out there bob the cut.

[bcons]

If it'll lock backup during todays falling temps thru sat. morning then sat warmup won't hurt, won't help either but....
This arctic blast is supposed to last a week,  down in the city temps in low teens during the day & low singles @ nite.
The pond will be 5-10 colder than that!
Supposed to blow nasty on sunday as the front moves through, that should keep lake effect from getting too organized & any that does fall will get blown off.
Most promising forecast we could ask for.

[craigski1980]

I have not fished the pond in over 20 years but would like to if anyone would be willing to show me around let me know. Thanks in advance.

[craigski1980]

So I have read but I am hopeing the cold snap will set it up and put 4-5 inches on it through next week. I am going to be out of town till next thursday but once home have about 5 days to fish if there is ice.

[bcons]

Today, the North Pond is 90% open water.

There will be 4-6 by next wkend, at least something to look forward too.

[joshjj2010]

There will be 4-6 by next wkend, at least something to look forward too.

I just took nxt friday off so maybe i can pop up there late morning and get some fish under my belt. Thats only if this cold puts some good ice on the pond
