Went for a trip today. Figured ice fishing was not the best idea so I headed to camp to grab my kayaks. The ice looked good so I punched a hole off the dock. A crack shot out and crossed the entire lake. Water then seeped through so we decided to head for smaller waters. Still 3". Headed to a small pond in the mountains. Ice was good off shore but just skimmed to get on. Decided to head more south to the river. Springfield was skimmed over so I fished the Black. Didn't mark any fish anywhere so headed on. Fished Morey from the kayaks. Not race of ice around and the weeds weren't very vibrant. Only saw small gills in the weeds that were still standing. We headed back to camp. There, we got on, punched holes and fished for a few minutes. Didn't feel like risking my life to catch dink perch and pickerel so we headed back home.

Sounds like there will be people on the ice next weekend. How clear was the water on the river?

Yeah that is what it was like at Drew's a few weekends ago, guess we will have to see if it clears as everything ices over. I was in Brattleboro today and there is NO ice on the Retreat so it will be a while down there.

Yup. It was hard seeing the bottom in a foot of water... Heading out Tuesday again for gills and perch. Should have a little more ice by then!

Not thinking... Going! Round. The guy has relatives on the pond so we have permission. I like being legal!
