Can anyone speak to the north basin of the lake? Im interested in whats happening specifically near hague?
Just another reminder, use your spuds. Snow today made me lose track of where I wanted to set up. Spud told me to turn around quickly. Saw too many without them today.
Nice that you made it out! Maybe this weekend for me.
You'll know by Thursday!
I'm shocked we didn't read about someone going in this past weekend with the thin ice covered by snow ... especially after reading that people were out all over out of MDB.
Don't assume that just because it wasn't on Ice Shanty or you didn't here it that it didn't happen. I know of an individual who went in at least up to his waist. Stepped on an inch of ice from 4 inches. Too many people out there that don't know what they're doing.
Man what a big tease to freeze up then get all this snow
You're not kidding .... and i am sure the internet isn't helping either.There was a story about fishing George on the Channel 13 news here in Albany and they quoted a fisherman saying they checked the ice by drilling holes every few feet We watched a guy go in at Schroon a few weeks ago when he walked straight across a huge pressure crack that everyone else walked way north to cross.
My Bookface reminded me I swam a year ago yesterday. I gave up trusting my gut... and fishing on Valentine's day.
This snippit from that article really blew my flipping mind man!So how can you tell for sure if it's safe?"It's basically just a knowledge thing," Spinosa says, "You feel it, you know, you're body will tell you."Just disregard anything you've ever learned about ice safety and go with your gut. According to this fool.
Any word on ice at Vets Park?
I am praying for a warmup now. Perfect setup would be a few days in the 40's and then some nice arctic cold.
not giving hope just yet
everything past the point of the island just froze last week, and probably has an inch or less of ice with a foot plus of snow on top of that.
iv got hope but its fading into hoping for a good striper run
