I haven't checked the Ditch or Port yet been too busy after work.  Pastrick has been open the past few days I have noticed on my way to work, really surprised I haven't seen any boats out there yet.  The North wind had some waves spashing against the rocks yesterday so be careful if you hit the Port or Ditch the rocks may be icy.  Going to try to head North for the weekend to catch some ice before putting the gear up for the warm months and get the soft water gear ready.

I had my best days when the ice was within casting distance from shore. Back when Dean Mitchell was up and running. Ahh, the good old days, I remember them oh so well.

The Ditch has been open for over a week. Was at Pasterick today again, most of the harbor is open but the launch area is still packed with ice.

This was taken on the 16th of Feb. we went to Gary Light that day and the next.
Don't have a current picture of Pasterick from today.
