Poppy · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 07:35 AM »

Had 4 degrees at my house in Columbia County. Still a couple of weeks until safe ice, but it is coming!!!!!!!!!!

ice boy19 · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 07:37 AM »

even on the smaller ponds?

its 4 degrees at a lake i fish at higher altitude says the internet and its usually 5 to 7 degrees colder then that so its about -1 to -5 degrees!!!!!!!!!

cassadaga lakes are locked up still only found 1/2-3/4 " everywhere i checked not too bad to go from wide open to that overnight someone down bear lake way had a look yet? I would assume that will be ready before cassadaga lake. Either way i will be ice fishing this weekend .

guess i better get the stuff ready...

I'm going to the post office and then i'm going to check bear lake or probably the other way around!!!

had 3 degrees tthis morning in northern rensselaer county. Was hoping for it to drop below zero but no such luck $:-\$

hunters08 · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 17, 2007, 01:56 PM »

NO ice on bear lake at all the state launch where we park is froze over.Just the canal part the whole lake is open though

marcus · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 18, 2007, 09:03 AM »

rechecked areas checked yesterday didnt bring any way to make a hole through the ice but it held up to me jumping and walking on it . I will get a better thickness report later on . I did jump in the same hole i stepped through yesterday and did not break through I only went 10-15 ft off shore because i wasnt all that prepared to soak my leg this morning I will be fishing this weekend... Starnge that bear has no ice on it at all oh well winter is here and it is just a matter of time now

hunters08 · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 18, 2007, 10:08 AM »

you were JUMPING on it?

was that over by where you were fishing last year?? How about the baitshop where i was at last year?? i will just go check later this afternoon thanks awsome news

marcus · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 18, 2007, 10:22 AM »

right at the boat launch is were i was jumping the geese were using the area that i fished last year so it just froze. I didnt go too far out i had my work boots on and didnt want to soak them but i jumped and heard cracking but no breaking through. I bet where i saw you last year off the beach in lily dale would be just as solid there is still small pockets of open water hopefully the wind will not destroy all the ice.

marcus · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 18, 2007, 04:13 PM »

went back to the boat launch and i was able to jump through this time i took a chunk home 1 3/4" thick held me until i pushed it (i wanted to break through) I will wander out further tommorrow afternoon when i get the survival suit on just hoping for no snow and we will be good to go sunday ...

hunters08 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 18, 2007, 04:47 PM »

I think we are supposed to get snow and wind.Those stupid geese that made the whole in the middle much bigger today are going to have me worried about the wind all day tomorrow. 20-30 mph i heard.

ice boy19 · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 18, 2007, 04:52 PM »

get the steel shot..... were going hunting!!!

marcus · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 18, 2007, 05:13 PM »

I know about the weather but i am trying to stay optimistic looks like winter is here for good...finally and anyone wants to whack these geese has my blessing and most the town of cassadaga too. I am an optimist but i dont think the wind has enough room to do any damage The ice i checked was clear and solid.

hunters08 · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 18, 2007, 10:22 PM »

your right about the weather its suppoesed to be high 20's and low teens for the next ten days according to weather man

i hope we can at least hit cassadaga this week end
