I am in. Icerina 2! Looking foward to seeing everyone again.

Has anyone checked how the ice is holding up?

Sub Zero · « **Reply #64 on:** Jan 20, 2010, 07:22 PM »

I don't believe for one minute the ice can sustain a solid week of mid to upper 40's and 50 degrees on Monday with rain forecasted. We'll see. I've only been out once and I hope it wasn't my last trip of the year.

they said it will, however I saw 5 Robins yesterday.

This thaw has the animals totally confused..

LoneWolf · « **Reply #69 on:** Jan 21, 2010, 04:54 PM »

I'm hoping the ice holds up. We had a warm spell but the nights have been pretty good and I'm hoping we lost very little.
As we do every year we insist on at least 6" of ice. If the ice seems iffy we will reschedule for February.

"That is on saturday on the large lake not the small one correct!! Where do we park for that in the beach area lot? And what time is this going to start on jan 30-2010?"

It's not at Little Swartswood it's at Big Swartswood. Yes we are parking at the main lot. It will start at 7:00 AM and end at 3:00 PM.

LoneWolf · « **Reply #70 on:** Jan 24, 2010, 08:10 AM »

I have one report of 9" of ice on Swartswood. Shawn's following up on that today. We are supposed to have some low temps this week so it's looking good.

I'll will be placing a NJ "Get Together" sign up post just so we have an idea of how many will be coming. We will be calling our derby a Get Together from this year on .. it just makes it easier on state ran lakes.

As always kids are welcome and I should have give a ways.

LoneWolf · « **Reply #71 on:** Jan 24, 2010, 09:45 AM »

I just heard from Shawn. He checked the state park area and it's between 6 and 7 1/2" of ice.

Besides today's and tomorrows rain the nights are supposed to remain cold.

snows no good, i just got used to pulling my tub on this nice smooth ice, plus i get a kick out of people who dont wear cleats and slip and slide while they walk

on the other hand, i can get to places that i need to drag some distance to get to the water, snow will make it alot easier

tonyrad · « **Reply #76 on:** Jan 25, 2010, 10:23 AM »

Forecast says FROSTY guys. So put away the tea shirts and pull out the wool gotchies, if the prediction holds, we are going to need them. Besides that, it's always windy at Swartzwood. Remember the Boy Scout motto.

Planning on buying bait at Dow's on Thursday to make sure it's ready for Saturday.

LoneWolf · « **Reply #77 on:** Jan 25, 2010, 03:31 PM »

What a nasty one today between the wind and rain.
I spoke with Shawn and he's going to check the ice and shoreline on Thursday to confirm it looks good for Saturday ... thanks Shawn.

FishinHardWater · « **Reply #78 on:** Jan 26, 2010, 09:14 AM »

so far less then a dozen people signed up... didnt we have like 30 or 40 last year? 4 days until saturday

punkinhead · « **Reply #79 on:** Jan 26, 2010, 02:05 PM »

Hi folks! New to this site. What's the deal with the derby and how do I get involved? I do a lot of ice fishing on Oxford Furnace, Budd Lk, Mountain Lk, Hopatcong, Spruce Run and Assunpink when I can. Thanks in advance for the help!!!!

ShawnM · « **Reply #80 on:** Jan 26, 2010, 02:11 PM »

You sign you for this Sat derby it's FREE again FREE fish & you might win a prize

punkinhead · « **Reply #81 on:** Jan 26, 2010, 02:25 PM »

Thanks Shawn. Did some "fishing" on the site here and found some info. Unfortunately I have to work on Sat. Do you only have one get together? Good luck and enjoy!!!

projoe · « **Reply #82 on:** Jan 26, 2010, 03:55 PM »

i think people are hesitant to sign up becasue of the weather, if people are traveling a far distant they may want to see how it pans out first.

We're not going to have the Get Together if the ice is less than 6" or the shoreline is open. It doesn't hurt to sign up .. if it gets cancelled we'll do a new sign up post. We're just trying to get a rough count.

As of now they are calling for cold weather from Wed night thru next week. If we didn't lose too much we should be in good shape.
Again Shawn will check tomorrow and we will post.

Wed Jan 27 Hi 44 Low 25
Thurs Jan 28 Hi 38 Low 15
Fri Jan 29 Hi 27 Low 12
Sat Jan 30 Hi 25 Low 12
Sun Jan 31 Hi 29 Low 14

Anybody been to swarztwood? whats the good word did that Fnnnn rain screw us?

LoneWolf · « **Reply #88 on:** Jan 28, 2010, 04:20 PM »

Shawn just went out and checked the ice. He checked in several areas out from the parking lot. The ice was CLEAR (not mottled) and varied from 5-6 inches.
The shoreline had some open areas but only a foot or so out and in less than a foot of water.
The temps are supposed to be single digit tonight and Friday night. The highs are supposed to be in the low 20's.

The shoreline and ice should be fine for Saturday .... it's on !

I'll get the main Get Together post ,with all the info, up tonight or tomorrow.
