Digdog23, you're more than welcome to come.  EVERYONE is invited and welcome to come, the more the merrier.

Topher7694, I have no idea since I never ice fished here before.  Either way I'm in.  Maybe MarkD or Chez can answer that better since they fished Prompton before.

Sounds good to me but is the upper launch the first or second launch you come to when you're coming up the road?  Now one other question, what time?  The earliest I could get there is probably around 9AM.

Chez, thanks for the offer to drill my holes.  I'll have to figure out where you're at when I get there but then again I could just look for where the ice is bowed down about a foot or two and figure it out that way.  HAHAHA 

MarkD, I'm pretty sure I know where you mean since it's been years since I was at Prompton.  And no Im not bringing Chez's brother D.J. Although I will show Chez how well a Showdown and Eskimo auger works.   ;D

What is the ice like on this lake generally?  What is the thickest it has been?

I'm a big boy, but would love to get up there if possible.

Assuming we're still talking about Lackawanna State Park, here's a map that might help

The one we're talking about now is for Prompton Dam on Jan 19th.  Once we get this one worked out we'll be working on planning a day for Lackawanna State Park.

What time are we thinking about to meet at Prompton?  I can be there by around 930 since I'll be coming from work.

I will probably be there early.....but beware, if I find any more 4" and 5" crappies laying on the ice, I may need bail money !

I hear you there, I'm in the same boat since I work the midnight shift.  It's not too bad for me as long as I don't have to go back to work after working and a day if fishing.
