i drove by this morning on my way up to Alburgh, looked like there was only ice about 50 yards out at the state launch

quackshack · « **Reply #7 on:** Dec 23, 2010, 07:45 PM »

yeah it was the same for me as well, hill road had only about 50 yard out. The water temp is at 37 degrees

Still open water all around Kellogg Island and not much at Hill Rd or the access. When it does catch be careful at walleys point a friend has a wheeler drop though just off the point last year.

quackshack · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 24, 2010, 07:27 AM »

you always have to be careful out there, usually there is a pressure crack in that area that's most likely where he went threw

Champlain Islander · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 24, 2010, 07:50 AM »

It was right there. Last year my fishing partner and I left the access and headed south to get close to the point. We dug a hole and there was 6" all the way across the bay and we were headed for the area off Hill Rd. When we got close to wally Point we got off the machines and started to walk and test the ice by digging holes. We got right off the point where the crack was and the ice was down to 2" so we went back to the machines and went right to shore at the point and crossed right on the beach. Word went out to the area between Kellogg and hill Rd and hit them good. The word spread and the next day we did the same thing and about 1 hour after a person we know who got the word on the bite went right from the access to where we were located and didn't go to land to get around the point. His brand new Mule side by side went into 6' of water. He got it out the next day but it cost him or his insurance about $2500 by the time he was through it all.

looked like most of keelers is locked up-- not sure when it happened, but I was figuring last night. the ice was out to kellog island. tonight will help too with the colder temps hopefully. saw a few people fishing down by the inlet/swampy area-- just outside it.

TRT · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 11:13 AM »

fishstalker · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 02:02 PM »

How much rain are they calling for this weekend?

TRT · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 29, 2010, 02:14 PM »

I like to tip toe out early but need 3 inches/black ice to be safe.
I hope to get out tomorrow but may try for the eyes...

Looks like you had quite the crowd out there. Couldn't believe all the cars there when I drove by @ 6:45am
