Just wondering if anyone is going on the ice tomorrow.I know I'll be out there.Sat and Sun.

Would love to get out Sunday if I can find some safe ice.

Going up to Highland Lake NY tomorrow, better chance of finding safe ice. Lou.

Lou we fish there a lot who do you know up there because it's private.

Plenty of safe ice on the smaller lakes.8 inches doesn't disappear in two days

fishgalore · « **Reply #5 on:** Feb 01, 2013, 04:02 PM »

Smaller lakes north of Rt 80 have open water................. 8" must have gone away. Guaranteed that you will hear about someone falling through this weekend somewhere in North Jersey. It's insane to be on any ice after the last few days IMO.

I just got a report from guys I know that lakes in Andover now have 4 to 4 1/2 they had on Sunday 6 1/2 . They fished all day

dish · « **Reply #8 on:** Feb 01, 2013, 04:32 PM »

Watch out on Cranberry......there were lots of open spots on the edges. Kind of random and some pretty big from the runoff into the lake.

CAPITALCRAPPY · « **Reply #9 on:** Feb 01, 2013, 04:35 PM »

Headed out early....more worried about shorelines than the rest...

Evil Tom · « **Reply #10 on:** Feb 01, 2013, 04:49 PM »

The die hard ice walkers know where the safe ice is.Everybody be safe.Hitting two different lakes west Milford area that were fished today and will post conditions tomorrow.If the lake only had 4inches and or open water last week it obviously won't have safe ice everybody be careful.

oldman · « **Reply #11 on:** Feb 01, 2013, 06:01 PM »

I'll be out there all weekend. We didn't lose much at all but the shoreline took a pounding. You just have to know where to find a good ladder and a couple of planks to get to the good stuff.

DoubleG · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 01, 2013, 06:14 PM »

My buddy fished Greenwood Lake today with no issues. He said there was 5"

Here's what's with me Mr. P_ (I won't reveal the rest of your name & you were on a lake today that we

fished together 3 or 4 yrs ago) BTW you are

nuts IMO!! I don't care if there was 8" or not you won't see me on anything that isn't solid to the edge of the lake. So maybe there is ice near the NY border

in Sussex and Passaic counties. It doesn't mean it's safe or smart to venture out on. I don't care what kind of ice training, experience, etc....etc...ad infinitum. I will fish a stream with waders or not at all unless the place is locked

............... period! I have never

ever fallen through any ice, not even a leg, while ice fishing and I intend to keep it that way! Safety first

for me and that means the place MUST BE LOCKED or else you'll never see me on it! You can have 50 people with wind boats, ice skating, fishing, riding bikes, etc......and I'll watch from shore!

Remember, what happened to Bill a couple years ago

(I wasn't there but Mike was)? Well that ain't ever happening to me. Nope, I did enough stupid things when I was younger it's time to stop.

I have some buds that say they are going to Budd tomorrow..........that's crazy if you ask me!!

I called him already this is what he said:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KrXfCc2xbk I am MR. POSITIVE, a leader not a follower!

chrisk · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 01, 2013, 07:57 PM »

I'll have a look tomorrow afternoon here and there. If it's safe I'll icefish perch spots. One thing for sure I won't be fishing my unsafe crappie spots.

saxmatt · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 01, 2013, 08:07 PM »

These cold nights should firm the ice back up. Just bring a plank or a pair of waders for the edges, wear some ice picks around your neck and throw a rope in your sled.

Dorve by Budd lake this afternoon around 5 pm and it is all opened up along the shore lines unless if you have a 50 foot ladder to get to the ice you're not gonna make it out there

Evil Tom · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 01, 2013, 08:25 PM »

I told him I read that it was open............they said they will find out themselves but not til about 1 pm. Still crazy if you ask me. 11 degrees this morning on Wildcat Ridge in Rockaway.

loustru · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 02, 2013, 04:23 PM »

Plenty of ice over our northern border in NY. Hit private lake near Highland Lake,NY and had no problems. 7to8 inches off ice and no open water. Pickerel city. Lou.

KneeDeepSteve · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 02, 2013, 07:40 PM »

I love how people tell other people the ice is not safe to fish on when they clearly have not checked most places. I fished today in Morris county and had 6-8"s of good ice under me.

GillGetter9760 · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 02, 2013, 07:46 PM »

Anybody know of a good place in warren county or any where in that general area with safe ice

I dont know how muck more ice you want than 4 inchs,thats plenty.The bigest problem with ice fishing when lakes are not totaly safe is that it gives a false impression to people who see you out there and they think the whole lake is safe to ice skate or cross country ski on that leads to trouble.And as for bill I softened the ice for him when i got off the dock he needed a bath you ever sit in a shelter with him WOW ;Dhey fishgalore its all good

Hey, that's what I said a few weeks back! BTW: I have 7" of ice nearby no need to drive 45 mins to fish for me. I did some scouting today and spoke to RELIABLE sources.

4" is good for me. I hope you hammered 'em.
