I'd be shocked if you can't find fishable ice next weekend....just don't know if you'll find it in McHenry cove.

I plan to fish on Thursday and I will give an ice report.

Eman89so · « **Reply #32 on:** Jan 03, 2014, 07:04 AM »

I am going to try to head down sometime this week. Possibly next wednesday/ thursday.. Never fished the lake before. I bought a boat this year and want to try it out and try to learn some new spots. Being from Pa i usually fish highpoint alot but all the guys i see at the bait shop say to drive an extra 30minutes and go to Deep Creek you won't be disappointed.
Then a guy showed me a pic of a giant musky through the ice and I knew where i was starting to fish this year. Ed

That's interesting about the musky. A lot of the local fishermen will tell you that there aren't any in Deep Creek.

Is there fishable ice yet?

Please refrain from using you boat. As you may break through any skim ice, It makes it weaker for the rest of the ice season. And takes those areas longer to refreeze. It could make for very dangerous spots for us ice fisherman. THANKS

I'm not using my boat now lol im ice fishing. The boat is for the summer

Had a guy today tell me about 3" in McHenry and then another guy went somewhere else said about 1.5-2" but not sure where he was at I didn't recognize the name.. it was somewhere on the lake.. Does anyone have any accurate ice conditions from today.. Thanks a lot, Ed

Fished Today at Harveys 3.5 in ice in the cove. A couple good walleye and perch, but slow

Fished NNY Oneida was iffy when I went home other then Big bay and didn't have time on my way back down. Fished the St. Lawrence hammered the eyes just tons of shorts and my home town lake. Had one good day on the perch.

i just got up here for the first time, but fished in green glade at teh se corner in the cove. wind was brutal today. managed a few perch and a pike after awhile. only an hour or so on the ice, lots of fish on non triggered flags cuz they iced up on contact almost. as far as ice conditions, good black ice, prob four and a half to five inches when we started, maybe five and a half when we were leaving. should stay locked up good.

cyclocoastie · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 04:24 AM »

Sweet! Where abouts did you park?

Iceaddict · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 06:57 AM »

CC take pritts rd. all the way to the end, good parking spot to fish GG, or white oak rd. to the end to fish harvey's.

cyclocoastie · « **Reply #53 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 08:06 AM »

Thanks Iceaddict! That's exactly what I needed! Hopefully I'll see you guys up there!

flyfishbowhunticefish · « **Reply #54 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 09:49 AM »

Made a trip up there yesterday. Fished cherry cove for about two hours with no luck in 20 to 30 ft of water I would guess with two inches of black ice and some white ice on top. (I don't have a flasher, I just count feet as I drop down). Also I was not using minnows, just wax worms and jigging rap. Headed to GG later after the weather really picked up, but I was pretty confused about the parking so I didn't try there. It was pretty miserable so I went home once I read 1 degrees! Could have brought my Eskimo Fatfish but somehow or another my ice stakes are missing and theres no way im setting it up even with a babys breath of wind blowing! Will bring minnows next time for sure and pick a day when its not so cold or after I order a new set of stakes. Good luck

ah, finally got my name registered. New here, though have been following for a while.

Got out on some ice at Sky Valley on Friday, was a solid 4 inches of good ice. Set the traps for an hour or so, but no luck. We only had worms, which was a mistake, but we didn't know if we'd find any ice so didn't make the stop for shiners. Was maybe 7 feet of water at the most, anyone have any luck there before? Will most likely try elsewhere next time.

hesseltine32 · « **Reply #56 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 12:07 PM »

Welcome to the ice Woodbury lots of great info on this site.

Hockeydefense13 · « **Reply #57 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 02:14 PM »

Just my $.02, but at GG people do usually park at the end of the road, but sometimes landowners who are there are generous and let you park if you ask them. Also lots of perch in GG. Jig poles froze up so I didn't really check depths, but tip ups were down prob 5-7 ft and picking up perch. Good black ice, if anyone jigs up a blue strike master auger pm me. Our screw fell out and the auger went down, had to run back to nicklows.

cyclocoastie · « **Reply #58 on:** Jan 07, 2014, 02:17 PM »

Hockeydefense13: Awesome info! Thanks. Sorry about your auger. That sucks man.

iceflippin · « **Reply #59 on:** Jan 08, 2014, 12:54 PM »
