where is Mt Holly ? George is a big lake where would you be planning to drive to ?
i can confirm 3-5 of solid black ice. the begining is all old ice and gray about 6 inches. after you make the transition from gray to black its about 5 inches for 50 yards then its begins to get thinner, but you can still walk out till you get to the ice heaves. just look for holes, im sure you will see the mess i made tryin to pin point the perch..just save me a spot, im sure it will be packed tommarow, lol friday there was one guy on the bay, today about 15, makes me wonder about tomm..good luck
yeah i went out there again today, got there a around 10. with the warmer weather and rain yesterday it ate some of the ice. i believe i heared you say " looks like perch for dinner tonight" as you were walking off. lol so i figured i better hit your holes. just as i was finishing up, and only had a few more to go the ice began to crack and warm weather blew in. needles to say i think harris is going to be unpredictable till it getts colder. there are spots 50 yards off shore that are already down to 2 inches..
Its tough for me to say how the ice will be. Sunday at about 2 pm the ice was getting spongy and beginning to crack. that's why i left. on Saturday there was at least 4 - 5 inches of black ice, then it rained and became warm. on Sunday the same holes that had 4-5 were already down to 2-3 and that ice also got rained on with 50 degree weather. i also noticed that in a lot of spots on the ice there were like worm holes where something had melted threw. looked like some one threw rock salt all over. the gray ice between the islands was also softening up and down to 2 inches in spots. there was a lot of water on that ice. Its a tough call just be cautious and check the thickness as you go. I'm hoping for a trip Friday.
I just updated my profile... I live in West Rutland, VT. I would be traveling over rt 4 into Whitehall & from their it would depend on where I should head to go fishing I realize the lake is huge... which is why I asked for a little help/directionThanks ~ Hunt-n-Fish-VT
last winter i landed 5 fish over the 15lb mark there last winter and one that was 46 inches.
Wondering if anyone will be at harris bay on fri. 1/2/09. Feel safer with other people out there. Thanks
