Anyone have an updated report on the ice conditions in the island area?? I am hoping to get out this weekend, since I got the "AOKAY" from PT yesterday! Just be careful, and wear my sling..... Oh and no reeling in 30 lb fish or drilling my own holes, good thing I have a great fishing partner!

I received an ice report from Dockside this morning:

"Sandbar went to sh!t, open water all over out there. Be careful on the ice."

NOT good news.
We're going to need a bunch of cold weather!

Ben has such a way with words. It's like poetry

i heard there was 6 inches in delinbec bay up in alburg . i would say kelly bay would be the same.

Thanks for the update!!! Not really what I wanted to hear, but at least I won't waste my time looking for ice!

Went fishing at the Gut today. As I drove up through the islands I could see everything in the sea was locked up with Ice. Sandbar is fish-able with probably 7 inches of ice. The cowbanks are frozen but I wouldn't venture out there quite yet. The gut had a good 7 inches of ice on it. Fished for about 5 hours with 14 tip ups set for Pike. Ended the day with 5 bass, 3 pickerel, 2 pike and a dozen perch. The perch were small, nothing worth chasing.
If the cold weather keeps up, this weekend there should be 10 inches or so in the bay.

Thanks for the info!

Yes thanks for the information!!! I am hoping to get out maybe Sunday? Guess I better get the tanaka up and running!
