Good day on the ice this morning in the rain. Plenty of bass and pickerel to go around. Easily 30+ flags on the day.

Never tried eating any freshwater fish other than lake salmon. I hear pickerel are bony.

Just came in from beach air 28 water 40 tonight's snow should end it we (6 of us) haven't had a fish in 4 days some of us fishing twice a day
Haven't seen anyone in days so IMO we quit Attached Images

Got to be in it to win it right? I haven't tried striper fishing since December 1st. Get the blackfish bug pretty bad this fall.

beautiful job gentlemen. I have packed it in until March. If we have a few nice days it is I might get out earlier. Meanwhile love looking at the reports and pics, keep them coming!

Nice job JB. Was wondering if you guys still have ice up there, or this warm weather melted it?

We got plenty of safe ice on the small ponds. I've been fishing this one pond that has had 5"+ since the first day we tried it on 12/26.

Going to give it a shot tomorrow I'll let you guys know.
