Is there still public parking/access at the bell tower?

Lake is setting up nicely but this warm up may hurt. Saw a guy was out spudding in Burtis. Didn't get far.

Any updates on ice? Last I heard was one inch between Sherman’s bay and Burtis bay

There is no ice now. The weather report looks favorable for ice by the end of the month but it's not a sure thing. Wind snow etc. Etc. Could still mess things up

Alright thank you. There same thing is going on here....

Trying to get out tomorrow or Friday. How’s the ice looking down there?

SteelieWheelie · « **Reply #2800 on:** Jan 22, 2020, 06:50 AM »

Save the time and gas money. I haven’t even driven up to check yet, but I can’t imagine it’s any good anywhere yet.

Jakemanges123 · « **Reply #2801 on:** Jan 22, 2020, 11:23 AM »

Donzo. Snow on it and it hasn’t been nearly cold enough. A look at the extended doesn’t look good either. I think it might be time to pack it in. I don’t think it’s gonna happen this year

Hijinks · « **Reply #2802 on:** Jan 22, 2020, 03:21 PM »

It’ll happen. I guarantee we (well I will be), on the ice by Feb 3rd. Haven’t been skunked on the old skuttlebutt in 43 years. Not happening this year even if I have to float in my mustang suit jigging.

sbuffaloice · « **Reply #2803 on:** Jan 22, 2020, 04:44 PM »

Lol Manges. Go ahead, pack your stuff up

Jakemanges123 · « **Reply #2804 on:** Jan 22, 2020, 07:29 PM »

No problem bud. Heading East the next 2 weekends then it’s all going downstairs unless we get some cold weather. But next week is more of the same and nothing is trending towards cold.

IceFever74 · « **Reply #2805 on:** Jan 22, 2020, 08:31 PM »

I think the salt in the wound is just how perfect all this weather would have been to be on the ice, if only we could have gotten 6” of ice in late December. Killer just waiting to go. If it happens the boss should not expect me around work much in February that’s for darn sure!!

marshrabbit · « **Reply #2806 on:** Jan 24, 2020, 07:00 AM »

Been locked up since Sunday but not sure how much? Mother Nature continues to tease us!

trout-killer · « **Reply #2807 on:** Jan 27, 2020, 10:48 AM »

i scouted the ice yesterday (sunday). 2.75" of black, honeycombed ice in the southern basin (cheney pt.), it was pretty creaky and only 2 hits with the spud bar to go thru. northern basin (prendergast launch) had only 1.5", same condition. didn't go out too far. about an inch of slushy water on top. this Tues - thurs nights will bring pretty chilly temps that may give us 4" or better on the southern basin, if there is not too much snow cover. there is no snow cover on it now.

BudIce · « **Reply #2808 on:** Jan 27, 2020, 12:51 PM »

Thank you for the report, I’m looking forward to getting out there and catch some perch..dinks or jumbos idc at this point lol

SteelieWheelie · « **Reply #2809 on:** Jan 31, 2020, 08:31 PM »

Seems as if Facebook has taken over. Used to have a lot of fun with the BS on here. Like ole Bob Dylan said, for the times, they are a’ changing.

Rippinlips89 · « **Reply #2810 on:** Jan 31, 2020, 08:43 PM »

How’s the fishing down there? Heading down Sunday Heard the walleye action was really good but haven’t heard much of the perch or crappie action

BudIce · « **Reply #2811 on:** Jan 31, 2020, 10:06 PM »

I hear ya SteelieWheelie, I’m not on Facebook. I enjoy reading about the reports on Iceshanty, but seems less & less. I get this year blows, but hoping that changes soon and I can get out there a couple times🎣

Fished Chautauqua most of day Friday. Couple pix for info. Not sure if you can see numbers with the panorama view I took but probably 50 or 60 people out. Couple short eyes. Long point from 7 til 10:30 then to Burtis Bay for perch for a couple hours (I was only one on the bay, could not find weeds, few small perch, littered with those black flecks which don’t look appetizing) then back to long point for primetime bite (that wasn’t for me). I think because it has been such a crap winter with only a handful of days to get on good ice, people are tight lipped about their outings. More of a ramble than BS, happy to be out doin it. 13 inch eye was put back and swam away fine (before I get berated for putting a shorty on the ice for 30 seconds)

It looks like in your pic that ice there is about 3-4”. Can you confirm? Thanks.

icebites · « **Reply #2814 on:** Feb 01, 2020, 08:09 AM »

Yes, pic with tape measure is from burtis. One without is long point.

Frankie Bags · « **Reply #2815 on:** Feb 01, 2020, 09:00 AM »

Just be aware that a lot of the shore ice was compromised from last weekend’s weather. It has hardened up enough for people to get on at Long Point but the way this season has been that can change quickly.

SteelieWheelie · « **Reply #2816 on:** Feb 01, 2020, 11:03 AM »

Thinking about going off Victoria street tomorrow morning. Fishing Lake Pleasant in PA today catching a few trout. Just hoping this isn’t the only weekend we get...

BudIce · « **Reply #2817 on:** Feb 01, 2020, 11:36 AM »

Thanks for the reports and pics! Solid day on ice is a good day🎣

alfed · « **Reply #2818 on:** Feb 01, 2020, 04:21 PM »

We fished long point this morning, no issues with shore ice. Machines were buzzing around. Big pressure ridge east of the point but no issues crossing it. Moved around on the hunt and saw no less then 6 inches of ice and 8 in one spot. Was a tough bite today lots of dinks.

dickerson_jared · « **Reply #2819 on:** Feb 01, 2020, 05:13 PM »

North of Long Point this am. No eyes, couple short perch around 5 inches everywhere. Tried burtis in pm, didn't like it. Anyone know what's up with cones out from launch? Ended up at bemus by casino. Few short perch, around 4.5 inches, some of it junky looking.
