Was wondering what the target species is in Hannawa?
Went to my buddies in Norwood at 9ish, hannawa pond had ice about 20ft out from shore that's it. Came back through at 2 and the whole pond is locked. That's what I'm talking about. Making ice now boys woo!!!
AdkRoy, you can come with me Monday if you swear to secrecy and close your eyes when we are 20 miles away rofl. Bring spikes and your quest for the smallest fish can pick up right where it left off last year. Combsey, you can come to, just weed out the dinks for me.
Man I would love to come, but I got family commitments. I will however be checking out some southern adirondack lakes near by.
Ah well some time this year. I think I will take a stroll around the Adirondacks and stop in at Wanakena...after Christmas dinner or lunch.
Hey....now you're making me jealous!(Image removed from quote.)
Sorry I put the dinks back to bite again. Or they might have a hook in thierback depending on where I am My schedule this week is booked with. Fishing. Fishing. And. Oh yeah. Fishing. I seem to be people's good luck charm this year.
That means posting pictures will be in order
I bet Mr Allen would let you borrow the new warming shed for a shanty to use on Cranberry.
Just got back from my trip around the Adirondacks. It felt good to stop in at Wanakena and not have a project due.
Ok ok now that my arm is twisted behind my back. Raquett lake, long lake, Tupper lake, and canberry lake needs more time with just about 1 1/2" to 2" in places at best. The lakes also still have some open or nearly open spots to freeze up. When I stepped out the ice was good for ablittle ways then it got sketchy...and my dog didn't help matters. Some of the bays may be ready but I only checked the obvious locations so I could get back in time for the family Christmas thing. Please do not take my report as "it's safe to fish" because it needs more time and always test the ice for yourself. Be safe and Tight lines.
mind if I ask where in tupper lake did you check?
Two places. One onthe back side in a bay and the other was from the park by the old factory. It did not take too far for the ice to become thinner. I imagine it had just locked up. I didn't check any smaller lakes this time as I was short for time.
i live right next to the old factory, raquette pond is the lake right there, it has been locked up for over a week. surprised it is thin. i was on another local lake yesterday that had a solid 3
people fishing at brandy brook on Christmas eve...way out! couldn't believe it...
