Out of all those inches, how much hard, strong black ice did you see?
Also, how many yards out from the boat launches would you say had the thickest ice? |

was just out today at Highland Lake. Got one decent largemouth, probably just over 2lbs on a small shiner just to the left off the boat launch in about 6 ft of water. Not even a nibble on jigs. There was a group of guys off to the right of me that caught a bunch of bass on tip ups. I was there from about 11 to 2.
Ice was ok near shore - 4" near the boat launch - but down to 3.5", and then just over 3" by the time I got about 100 yards out. Needless to say we stayed "within casting distance" of shore all day. All solid black ice.
I drove by West Hill first, and didnt even bother to check the ice - iced over but didnt look good.
went to Winchester on the way out just to check it, same deal - ice looked lousy, a couple of holes near the launch.
Stopped by Park Pond just to check things out, and 4" of solid ice there and a few guys out there.
Looking at the weather, it seems like after this weekend the only thing I'll need the tape measure for is the fish! |

| Good report. Next week up Highland way will have single digit lows, and with no snow on the ice should be great fishing by weeks end. I think by next weekend we will be fishing areas around me in Danbury also.. Fingers crossed |

Not the spots I like, still on the light side of ice.
Anyone check Ball? I am going to try and check Monday, Tuesday .
I will let you know on up north spots. Had some buddy reports on good fishing on a few spots. My new Marcum comes Monday so dying to get out. I am just praying for no snow storm Thurs or Fri. |

This next system is supposed to bring up to a foot of snow upstate and 8 inches to the southern half of the state.
Another problem with this snow maker is windy conditions, preventing ice to form. |
