I haven't been by in about a week but will take a look in the morning on my way home from work tonight.

 Most of the Ice I have seen in southern NH isn't looking very good. I personally would go farther north.

I work there too. The ice is basically gone, there is more water than ice.

Thanks for the info guys - youre saving me a wasted trip. Down here in Haverhill the ice has been completely gone for almost two weeks. Went out in a boat on the 28th and to my surprise absolutely killed the bass. Mostly on jerkbaits. Got 21 bass between 2 guys and we had a 5-1 and a 5-8 along with three others over 3 lbs.... by far the best day Ive had this early in the year. Good Luck and thanks again for the info.

We had a horrible year for ice in this area - most lakes never even skimmed over 100% and only a couple spots had safe ice because of the warm weather and when we got cold nights they were too windy lock up. Its been a while since Ive been on the site but I plan on checking in more often next winter - I fish a lot and if youre ever looking for info in the North East Mass area feel free to PM me.
