That's what I heard too. I'd like 8 for sidexside.

[greensider]

With all the snow on top I think you will be ok

I hit the lake this afternoon in front of the park. Hard to believe that two weeks ago that area was wide open and there had to be a good 7" of ice and all black ice to boot. Sporty you should be fine.. I saw sleds and wheelers out there today.

i don't understand  why  people  keep fishing whitney point  i honestly haven't heard  of people  hammering fish in that place in fifty  years  and   all the good  eyes  i  heard of were caught  below the dam ,in the past  25  years  anyway the  derby hasn't  had  many fish  caught  years  ago i remember  catching   7 gal  buckets full of those  big white  crappies  those days are  gone , use to  be a hell of a  night bite out there  too

[greensider]

We actually did ok last year most trips out I was there today definitely slow

[trapper2000]

I hit it because it's the only spot within an hour of me other that the Susquehanna River and Cayuta (which is also a dead sea). Plus, every now and then I run into BigAl and you know how entertaining that can be!  I wish the reservoir would recover to its prime again also! The eyes seem to get to 17 inches and stay there. I know there are some nice ones to be had, buy they seem to be few and far between.

Jigged up a 20" near 3 pounder yesterday on the pond. She was tasty.

Fished Sunday from 6-11  Good ice 7 inches.  4 short Walleyes 1 19 Incher,  a few nice perch and a few 10+ in crappies....oh and a big bluegill

Kind of a strange mix given my location....

they should  lower  the  size to 15 inches on those  eyes  you  guys  get them out of there and  your pan fish  would  come  right  cack  i  bet they eat  those  pan fish  right up before they get  more then a  couple inches long

[bigal409]

Hey fishyfishy what's up my friend? Get yourself up here. I got a few over the weekend.

I’ve been thinking the same thing for the last few years.

[Ebaker1114]

Is WP turning slushy on top now?

[greensider]

When I was there a few days ago my quad spun tires all the way across I was pulling a clam nanook not that heavy I don't like beating up machine like that

Even with a smitty sled, it was a bit of a tough drag out on Sunday.  I said the heck with this and started drilling holes in 17fow.

Looks like I'll be going back to WP tomorrow since I haven't seen any posts on the south side of Owasco here or on FaceBook.

I Know it's early but does anyone think the Derby will be a go this year?

[greensider]

My neighbor just put his quad in my garage to melt the slush off it so be careful out there with machines

I'm optimistic the snow/slush on top will do more liquefying this week then refreeze, that should get it about where it needs to be.

Fished the Res yesterday afternoon 1-5....super slow till 330 then the walleye bite lit up till i left!!  Few perch mixed in...

Around 10 inches of ice with 3 inches of slush under the snow.
