First day of ice fishin on tewksbury pond

[Roughtimes1]

Nice day, pretty slow fishin did manage to round up a cpl brookies. Ice was safe around outskirts but still no more then 4". "Bad day of fishing beats a good day of anything else" Have a pic to post but dont know how to post them

Nice! I'm excited I though Tewksbury was a trout pond so I looked gain and sure enough it's not guess ill be making a trip out there thanks I the post can't wait to see the picture

I hear lots of stories about that pond. Does it get fished out early?

[TrackerScout]

I am excited to hear Tewksbury is firming up. Did you stop by Upper Valley Outfitters for bait? Steve said he was selling bait to folks headed to Tewksbury. My experience at the pond has been very hit or miss. Fish and Game  drop a few real pigs in there each year.

good advice but i find it more fun to watch everyone having a good time fishing is suppose to be fun and exciting not a competition amoung people i agree keeping your "honey holes secret" but letting people know where you are is a personal preference.

I fish there each year not too often as I have local ice but it is hit or miss, i got y bait fr
Newfound.  Last week there was reports of people fishin the middle of the pond but be safe i you are to venture it didnt look very safe in the middle.  Best o luck to everyone venturing there any day onthe ice is a good one weather it be one flag or a few its a day away from everything!

I saw that guy walking out towards the middle, some people just dont think.  the ice is definatly still dangerous I think you make a good point finless.  If you go bring a ice chisel pay attention and stay towards the shore line. 

[masspike]

 i usually walk the shore...and the shorelines drop off fast...5ft sounds better than 40 ft
