HAPPY NEW YEAR and Goooooood Morning FishUSA'rs
and what a beautiful morning in Penn's Woods it is.

Clear blue skies all lit up with a big beautiful sun. Air temp at forty degrees and climbing with the wind at a standstill.

Weather dude reporting temps over the next couple days to be slightly cooler than first reported (imagine that). Rain still in the forecast for Tuesday then we should see temps dropping into the teens to lower 20s.

Ahhh baby, On the ice again.. Just can't wait to get on the ice again... Drilling holes with my friends.. On the ice again...


Lol... yeah I know yinz thinking "corny" but that's just 'cause, I thunk it first.

Tight lines

Hit The pond today, ice is fair 30
Keepers

 
What species were the "keepers"?

Yep perch try to go 8inches an up unless t's gut hooked. I do tip ups so I get some. 8 were above 10. About 1.50#of fillets when done. With the rain we will see if it holds, if it does cold reps WTF should tighten it back up.

Clint thanks for the pocket dialed couple minute voice mail :Dec and to add insult to injury you rub it in that you were walking off the ice with 30 keepers!!!lol... nice job and glad to hear you did good. I think ice gonna lock up pretty hard in the days to come

Thanks jack !! I just looked at the weather for the area I'm going Saturday and the deep freeze starts tonight through the weekend !!
Great job !!

I saw an article yesterday on line about how much snow Tug Hill and that area get every winter. It is crazy I know I couldn't take to many of those winters. I'm from PA and I hate our winters.

I saw an article yesterday on line about how much snow Tug Hill and that area get every winter. It is crazy I know I couldn't take to many of those winters. I'm from PA and I hate our winters.

Houses and camps up around Barnes Corners and over into Montague often have doors on both the first and second floors, so they can get out in the winter as well as the summer.  Most places put a ladder up to the roof in the fall and it stays there until spring, so they can get up there to shovel when the weight threatens the beams.  They issue snowshoes to kids when they leave the hospital after birth!

The bulk of the storm hit from Adams to the black river. Lt's of snow. Here we got a total of 3 inches.  Bad news is my ice got over a foot on it. That coupled with the warm weather will not let me know were the sketchy ice is. There were some bigger holes formed from gas pockets and water making drilled ones bigger. Not going to chance a bath.

5 above at our 8am start today. Beautiful was the weather. No wind and some shine.
Plenty ice , lots fish . Wrong species.
Tomorrow off to perch land :)
This climate suits my clothes

Hot Tuna if your seasonal wardrobe is made by L.L. Bean don't be surprised, while you're out enjoying nature at her best, people asking if you are from TWC and wanting a weather forecast.


Beautiful day in PA. with a light snow falling and a temperature of 11° F. here in my little piece of the PA. Wilds.

Tight lines and great times.

15° F. wit a wind chill of -1° and horizontal snow. Ahhh baby nuttin like a baloney and cheese samidge freshly toasted over a Coleman Lantern and a cup of veggie soup poured from a cheap thermous bottle while sitting in a ice shanty.

'cept that ain't happenin' with me 'cause I'm in agreement with Pafisher and parking my old asz in front of the TV.

Stillers is lookin mighty fine so far, and I am soooo hoping, the officials don't start playing flag football.


Special note to them that ventured forth today and would wish to toast your sammy's over a Coleman Lantern; them fluorescent lanterns seem to take forever.

Gooo Stillers!!!

Spectacular beautiful weekend. Single digits, tight ice and no winds.
Lots of fish hit the top . Got into nice big crappie today . Bring it all on while I can get it . Days are getting longer, my time on top is getting shorter

Jack , those crappie were giants. I can't figure out how to post pictures from this phone , which is why I haven't put anything up.
I will.say , my friend, my son and I are reserved to fish the salmon river the weekend of January 20th.

Mighty cold out there today and making ice now baby !!

Attachments are not available: Download requirements not met Jack, here is HT's photo from his excursion yesterday.

hot tuna
Thanks Gerry , that pic don't do justice to the size of the crappie. They we very big .
I kept 6 crappie, 4 perch and 1 gill.
Heading to laker land this weekend, salmon river the next then back to the panfish heaven the following.
Seems like the real fishermen are still fishing, lol

That's good eating! Been a long time since I went for those eats,used to catch some huge panny's over in NJ.Yellow perch up to 16-17",gills that were 10",and LARGE crappie but for some reason I don't remember measuring them.
