Was there any snow on Lake massabissic, or was it just black Ice?

Went by cobbetts pond yesterday afternoon and there was some ice all along the shoreline about 70-100yds out.. hope we can makes some good ice the next couple of days.. may warm up just a bit this weekend but as long as the night temps dip down i think things are looking good..... I'm going to check a couple places Canobie,Cobbetts, and Robinsons tomarrow and see how things are coming along....

Fishback · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 04, 2007, 03:25 PM »

I hear there's nice brown trout in Cobbetts Pond. I know someone who has property on Rock Pond and they're always telling me about Cobbetts. I've never tried it though.

jibbs · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 04, 2007, 03:30 PM »

problem is............no place to park........atleast thats what i heard. windham can be a pain in the butt when it comes to parking. i was reading a post where someone got a ticket for just launching their boat and wasn't even going to park there. if you are not a resident of that area......your screwed. however, let me know about robinson. i like going there once a year and they have a pretty decent ice tourney. the prizes are small, but its pretty cheap to get in.

I will let ya no about robinson.. caught a 6lb 11oz 26.25in brown at cobbetts last year. slow place to fish and hard to get out there sometimes but its worth it if ya caught a big one. took me at least 15min to get it on the ice. what a fish!!!!!!

Is there any walkable ice from the MA border towards Barrington NH....

shaun · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 05, 2007, 02:59 PM »

CHECKED OUT COBBETTS TODAY... 3IN JUST OFF THE BEACH WITH 2IN OF BLACK ICE AND 1IN OF WHITEAND A SKIM COAT ABOUT HALF WAY OUT THE POND... WENT TO CANOBIE THE COVE BY THE LAUNCH LOOKED OK AND THE SHORELINE HAD SOME WHITE ICE BY THE PUMP HOUSE AND THE WHOLE LAKE HAD A GOOD LOOKING SKIM COAT ON IT.. WENT TO ROBINSON POND AND THAT IS LOCKED UP... 4IN OFF THE PARKING AREA AND SOME ONE RODE A SNOWMOBILE OUT ACROSS THE LEFT HAD SIDE OF THE POND... I THINK ROBINSON WILL BE FISHABLE BY THE WEEKEND AND MAYBE THE SHORELINE OR THE COVE AT CANOBIE.... COBBETTS WILL TAKE SOME TIME... CHECKED A HONEY HOLE OF MINE AND THAT WAS ALSO LOCKED UP.. WALKED OUT ABOUT 150YDS AND THE WAS 3.5... HOPE THIS HELPS SHAUN

jibbs · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 05, 2007, 04:41 PM »

i can't believe a snowmobile went on the lake........that is absolutely crazy.

shaun · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 05, 2007, 05:15 PM »

YA I NO TELL ME ABOUT IT... IT LOOKED LIKE A HOLE SHOT BUT STILL CRAZY PEOPLE...

Lake Potanipo in Brookline, NH is solid all the way. Some guys may venture out this weekend there. See you soon.

Fishback · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 06, 2007, 02:10 PM »

I think if you start calling around everyone should be able to find some water to walk on. Reports are good.

TROUTDANCE · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 06, 2007, 02:17 PM »

THEFINLESSBROWN thinks you need to be Jesus to walk on water this weekend, he must be reporting from Florida. LOL

pipes · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 06, 2007, 03:34 PM »

well looks like we will be eating good. cant wait for those burgers Chris.

jibbs · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 06, 2007, 03:38 PM »

checked some places near sandown. phillips pond has about 3 and country pond has about the same. however, country pond has a tricky parking situation.....there is none unless you no a resident. how about wickwas......anybody have a clue. i think i am headed to sutton to fish gile pond......real small and really freezes pretty quick

KissMyBassNH · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 06, 2007, 06:36 PM »

I will be in the lakes region tommrow and will let you guys knw what the ice is like up there.

FISHYFINGERS · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 07, 2007, 10:58 AM »

I FISHED COBBETTS SEVERAL TIMES LAST YEAR TILL THE TOWN BLOCKED ACCESS TO THE ICE WITH BOLDERS, SO NO 4 WHEELERS COULD ACCESS THRU THE GATE. ALSO THE POLICE PATROL THE PARKING LOT, YOU MUST HAVE A RESIDENT STICKER ON YOUR CAR/TRUCK.
THE FISHING WAS AWESOME FOR BROWNS, WE CAUGHT SEVERAL 4-6 LB-ERS. THE RAMP IS CLOSED TO PUBLIC AND BECAUSE OF THAT THE STATE OF N.H. FISH&GAME WILL NOT STOCK THE LAKE, THE LOCALS THAT LIVE ON THE LAKE GET TOGETHER AND PURCHASE FISH TO STOCK THE LAKE THEMSELVES,THATS WHY THERE IS ALL THE FUSS, THE LOCALS PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE FISHING, I HAVE HAD PLENTY OF LOCALS APPROACH ME WHILE ICE FISHING TO SEE HOW THE FISHING IS GOING, AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL LOCALS THEY DO NOT LIKE TO SEE ANY FISH BEING KEPT!!!.. SO KNOWING THAT I TELL THEM ALL THAT ASK, IT'S VERY SLOW TODAY. LESS FRICTION THAT WAY.
IF YOU DON,T KNOW ANYONE ON THE LAKE IT IS TOUGH TO GET ON THE ICE NOW.
WHEN I DO GET A CHANCE TO GO THERE I LAY LOW AND SAY VERY LITTLE TO ANYONE WHO APPROACHES ME WHILE I AM THERE FISHING. OH! KEEP THE FISH ( IF YOU KEEP ONE ) OUT OF SIGHT. IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET TOUGHER AT ALL THE LAKES/PONDS AS TIME GOES ON.
