Ice update
« on: Dec 13, 2005, 11:17 AM »
Fort Pond, Lancaster Mass. still half open. The ramp has not been plowed, if you don't have 4WD don't drive down, or bad tires, it is icy. The cove looks to be snow ice and it has no signs of anyone fishing it yet. Taking the chisel up in the A.M. supposed to be very cold tonite. The cove looks promising though, esp. after tonite's chill. Heard, not observed that Comet is still open and the ramp area off 62 has some ice. Will be making road trip to confirm in A.M. Will report back after scouting trip with first hand information. Any day now guy's, be careful out there................. ....flap

the oxbow has 6 inches by the easthampton rod and gun club as of noon today.  my crew plans to go this weekend to twin ponds at the meadows the water level is high which usually means good fishing there

Going to try the ol' bow (oxbow) in the soup tomorrow.  Should be a good test for my new Ice Armor I just bought.  Let really see if its really water proof.  Hopefully don't get to much freezing rain cuz then the tips wont work.  Frozen flags don't like to move.  But got to take the day off to get out there.  Saturday should be a much better day.

 Comet, Thurs. 9:30 a.m.       4 guys fishing on shaky ice 2-3 ", good hard stuff though. 9 degrees there. Should keep making ice if this storm doesn't produce much rain.
