I went to GP today and the slush was not horrible, shin deep in some spots , ankle most places. Between two of us we caught 150 dinks 3 to 4 inches.  4 keepers at around 8 inches and one 28 inch pike.

pond  has  been  producing   good  crappies  and  nice  gills  and  sunfish ....I really  don't understand  why  people  don't  fish  for  whats  there  instead of  dreaming of  years  past setting on  vacant water ...but that's  how  I see  it

biggest  gill I  ever  seen  was  caught on  sandy  pond ....   and  since  I  was a  kid   when perch  got  slow  we  would  hit   the  weeds   lot  of  slob  gills  and  you'd  be  surprised  how  many  shallow  perch !

now  i'm on  the  soap  box   I get  to  say  my opinion...I  don't  think  sandy pond  got  fished  out , I  don't  think the  mouth  got  filled  in  ...I  never  believed   perch   came  in  from  the  big lake  anyways  ...I  think they live  there  year round  ....  I  think the  lake  Ontario  perch are  simple  on a  low  cycle ...sandy  pond  isn't  the  only  spot  that's  not  prodoucing  well.

 another thing  is  people  got  spoiled  to  drilling a  hole  and  catching a  limit in the  matter  of  2  hours  ....  that  type  of  fishing is  never  going to  last  for  ever 

since  I  was  a  kid  .....and  that  was a  few  years  ago  some  tears  the  pond  prodouced  others  it  doesn't  ,highs  and  lows ,this  year is a  low  and  it  might  be  for  awhile   sodus  isn't   kicking out  limits  like  it  did  in the  past   neither is  fair  heaven ....
my  suggestion  is   easy   set the   tip ups  out   try the  outside   for  perch  if  nothing  come  to the  inside  and  get a  diner  of   gills

Im also seasonal. Spent alot of time on the pond mostly in the hunt of my pike. Pulled some above average pike and some really fat 30 inch pickerel. Got some nice perch but not consistent.  The past 2 trips have been loaded with surprises ill take any day.

   Unfortunately looking like a busy week this week for me, hopefully ice holds for next week to get out one last time ::). I need to hook up with Tommy again so he can continue to school me, this time on the Crappie.  That'll be a new one for me.  His help certainly proved meat worthy this winter for some pike. Thanks Tom.  If there is one last hoorah keep it posted so that I can make time, especially since I had to miss the 2-man.  I certainly appreciate all the info you fellas keep posted at the pond.  Being out of town it sure makes a difference when making plans to head for the camp. You can take the boy away from the Pond but not the Pond away from the boy.  Whoever made the comment "once the ice starts going it goes fast" has certainly been there done it.  Be safe!!  Thanks again to all!!

Last outing on the pond the ice was plenty thick. I found some over 30 inches. I did venture to Chaumont last night and found some 6 inch ice and muddy water. Was pushing close to current but I can now see the runoff is reaching the lake heavy.

Congrats Ian on your very nice pike. You must have really enjoyed catching it on the jigging rod. Remember the most important thing is that you are fortunate enough to be able to get out and enjoy yourself with your granpdad.Very nice picture and the pike looks good also.

Strong work Ian!  And by the looks of that smile he had just as much fun bringing it in as Grandpa did helping.  Like you said, its all about the time spent and I think with that catch you just bought yourself some added time JBog.  Congrats to both of you. 

Nice work Tommyboy
