I went out today to check the ice or if there even is any, and as everyone can expect every large body of water is 90-100% open water,I did though find a couple small bass ponds that are sheltered from the wind that had 3- 3 1/2 in. Cold tonight and cold tomorrow storm coming in this weekend,might try at it tomorrow/fri. Ill post reports.

Anyone in area have any reports in the southeast mass?

Was able to get out on some ice this morning in carver. Ice was 3-3 1/2. A quarter of the pond was still open water from wind. stayed 3 1/2 hours and got 4 bass. Was fun just finally getting out on some local ice. I don't know what this next weeks weather is going to do to it but ill take what i got.

I was out today in Rochester, MA. The ice is not safe, but if you are skilled, know the water, have safety gear rope float suit chisel, you can get on. I will be out tomorrow. Might hit a pond in Rochester and a spot on the Wareham Plymouth line. Be careful but green light is on

I'm gonna hopefully get out Saturday morning and check my usual spots in kingston, if I can keep my plow from breaking every time I fix it. I hate snow

it's nice to see some out on local ice, let's all be careful.

I checked smelt yesterday - still a ton of open water. What was iced over was lousy ice and not much of it. Two of my shiner ponds had under 4"s -Really not much more ice than when I set the traps a couple days ago

Folz · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 22, 2016, 04:55 AM »

I'm around Saturday. Going to check a few local spots right now.I'll meet up your way or mine if ice is safe.let me know. I am in Norton area.

icerat · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 22, 2016, 07:25 AM »

Nip in brudgewtr was abt 80 perc ice covered yesterday. Most of the open water is on eastern side. saw one guy fishing on westerm side. Looked like 3 in of white ice to about 50 ft out then skim to open beyond that. Close call for weekend but can prob find safe ice with the usual precautions. Please be careful !

I am from Western, MA, trying to meet some college buddies on the ice out that way. We are all driving about an hour to meet at a centralized location. I was looking at Lake Pearl in Wrentham. Any reports on ice in that area, or just fishing on that lake in general?? Its an hour and a half drive or I would check it out myself. Thanks!

Flatland · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 22, 2016, 10:52 AM »

Swanny - You would be a lot better off having your buddies come to you. There is a lot better ice out your way at the moment. I live about a half hour from Wrentham and though I can speak to that particular body of water I think you be hard pressed to find much in the way of safe ice there.

Swanny04 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 22, 2016, 10:59 AM »

Thanks Flatland, we are pretty locked up out here. Ill see if they don't mind doing a little extra driving!

Flatland · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 22, 2016, 11:05 AM »

Smart move.

*In the above post I meant to say ¨ẗhough I CAN´t speak to that particular body of water¨...you got the idea, though

Folz · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 22, 2016, 12:03 PM »

any one gonna be out in the Norton area tomorrow?meet up?

Folz · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 22, 2016, 02:15 PM »

I will meet up,let me know where

Folz · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 22, 2016, 03:11 PM »

I am willing to meet up

Out in Hanson right now. Seeing anywhere from 3 1/2 inches to 5 inches in a protected cove. One slime dart one fat perch and a few wind flags. Nice to be on south shore ice.

Icexplorer · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 25, 2016, 05:32 AM »

Had a great day Saturday 1/23! 4" of ice in Stoughton.

JJPSEFfish · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 25, 2016, 08:49 AM »

I found between 3.5 to 5 inches on a few small ponds in kingston( less than 10 acres), gonna try to get out tonite for some vexilar action with the jig rods. Be safe

I was on today in Rochester, MA open water showing. I was on about 2" of good ice covered by 2" of crappy ice covered by snow water and slush. I set out 4 big goldens and waited ....and waited... And waited. It was a beautiful day no wind fox on other side making wild noises.....perfect but no fish. No hits....Ghost town. I'll post a picture or two tonight. My guess is my local season here in Rochester Marion Wareham area is over.
Western mass on Thursday then dreams of next season for me....road trip to Tucson, Arizona by the time I get back it will be open water and waiting for Stipers
