Yes, I've never been there so any end will work for me.  My regular ice fishing buddy doesn't like/want to move so I'm looking for new places and new faces.

thanks , till then have a good one

I will definitely be there! Let me know when! The Spud and I will show up! 

[MikeThePike]

This very well be one of my "home" lakes for this winter along with Lilly Lake and Francis Slokum. You'll probably see me out there if you spend some time going.

about how far from lancaster? like to ry some new places myself this year

[Pike Popper]

good mikethepike you can let me know the minute it freezes enough to go out on, since you'll be monitoring the lake on a consistent basis. If you want to start catching bigger fish, however, you can come back to the lakes in jersey

Stopped at lake jean yesterday, no ice . couple of fisherman out on the lake. my wife says i should give it a try this winter. thats all i need . see you there sometime this season. looking for colder weather.

I know that this is not a popular subject, and I will make my anual plea at a latter date, but please consider releasing what you catch.
The preasure at this lake has grown considerably in the past couple years, I know that I am partly to blame because of the many positive posts I have made about this lake. This lake was recently considered a dead lake, and has made quite a comeback, it is still a very fragill body of water.
I mean, there is nothing wrong with keeping a few fish to eat, but when I see a 16 inch pickerel laying on the ice, I have to wonder, if it will really get consumed. Just keep in mind that it takes a long time for a perch to grow to be 15inchs, or a bass to become a 7 pounder.

Anyway, I am done rambling for now................

Thumps up Byron. Selective harvest! I myself rarely keeps anything.

[THE Spud]

 I totaly agree with Byron this lake is one of the first lake we get on and last year was fished till 3/31/05. We are lucky here in PA to have a lake where we can hardwater fish for 4 months we here at IS probly attributed to the recient popularity of this "first on last off lake" we should only keep what we will eat fresh ! Don't use this lake to stock that begining of the season empty freezer FRED

[beerthirty]

All i will say is Fred come on? Heck you were even trying to coax those fish through the ice with a beer...err wait i mean soda!  Then he tried spearing them with his Spud! Until i threw it to the bottom of the hole! oops  No Fred is right though do not stock that freezer just for the sake of doing it! Keep those lines tight! Plus always make sure the beer is cold! Not on lake Jean though make sure SODAS only! he he
