Your pike program in Rhode island is far superior to Massachusetts program. DEM does a terrific job with all aspects of fisheries management. In my opinion you have some of the best pike fishing in New England. I fish mostly Massachusetts, but also fish Maine and Vermont. My winter ice fishing vacation week is now spent in Rhode Island instead of Vermont. That is how good I think your fishing is. I know your state is running a huge budget deficit right now. Hopefully the DEM programs are not hit with any cuts. As for Tiger Musky I am not crazy about our their stocking. I rather spend the money on Pike. We have only one lake that really produces them and they are sterile. I would rather Massachusetts concentrate on Pike that seem to survive better and reproduce.
Ihope your week vacation isnot this week /gonna need a few more days of cold to hold the ice.where do you fish when you come to RI?
I have friends in Charlestown. I generally fish Chapmans, Wordens, and Hundred Acre. I have had some great days on Chapmans for both numbers and sizes. Worden's is good for numbers, but my best out of there is just over 10 pounds. It looks like it will be a while until I will be able to get on the ice.
where do u get on at 100 acer pond i thought that was all privet land
