Thanks!!

My wife and I fished Dillenbeck last weekend. The ice was iffy - 5" of double layered white ice. There were a few guys out there that had covered the bay looking for gills, two had three and one had two. We fished for about an hour catching 8 good sized yellow perch. If they got the last two storms we did I'm not sure it'll be safe.

TRT let me know how you do if you can. I've been dying to do that type of fishing since moving here but it seems perch is all anyone talks about.

I suppose the warm weather this week has thinned out the ice a bit up there...

Back to square 1 on the ice situation. Not looking 2 good

I Stopped by the Dillenbeck launch tonight. You need waders or a 10 ft plank just to get to the ice.

BigG3206 · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 10, 2008, 07:36 PM »

It's a few weeks before I head up there so hopefully mother nature cooperates and brings in some arctic air

What's the latest info on Northern Champlain? Did it lock back up or is the snow slowing things down?

Hood · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 16, 2008, 05:45 PM »

DOnt know about VT, but was on Kings bay today on the NY side...plenty of ice

BigG3206 · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 16, 2008, 06:23 PM »

Hood-
How much ice?
Do you have good luck in King's? I've fished there a couple of times but not much going on

Thanks for the info!

Hood · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 16, 2008, 06:39 PM »

We caught a mess of perch, didnt have tipups out...guys a few hundred yards away were chasing flags quite a bit.

fishstalker · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 16, 2008, 07:19 PM »

The lake is all locked up again guys. North and South or the Sand Bar. 1 inch of ice at 1 pm today.

I was on Kings Bay this morn....8-10" of ice.
Caught a few pike and very small perch

Should be able to drive out on Mallets bay this weekend

Vt Piker · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 24, 2008, 05:58 PM »

Went to Georgia shore today and punched some holes just to check the ice. Was surprised to find 6". Since the entire inner sea froze at the same time, I'd have to assume that there's at least 6" from the sand bar to the Missisquoi. Heard there was 9-10" at Sampsons. Tonight will add another inch and so will tomorrow night.

Thanks guys!!

heading up for tourny this weekend on missaqui bay hows ice. supposed to be sleeping in gillys trailers

vermonner · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 05, 2008, 09:38 PM »

We've got warm weather today and tomorrow--rain/40's so we probably lost some ice but cold coming in for the end of the week (teens and single digits overnight) so I think we'll make it up. There was 8-10" of ice on the cowbanks this past w/e. No flags and some dinks in a few hours of fishing. Hopefully the Alewife die-off will be done and the fish will put on the feedbag for this weekend. Good luck in the derby

dirtface · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 05, 2008, 09:41 PM »

thanks! so no prob sleeping in trailer on ice with our trucks too!!!!
