Took a long ride today in SWPA searching for some soft water. Other than some small, shallow farm ponds, there was ice everywhere I checked. The edges are melted away from all the rain I'm hoping by mid to late this week I can chuck a few floats somewhere.

Also took a ride today. Nothing much open. Could be mid April for the main lake. Those bays still have tons of ice on them too. Here's hoping for some 60s n sun...

Nice Mr. Crappie. Wind opened up some water in these parts today. It seems likely I maybe able to chase crappies somewhere Wednesday evening. Its been about 6 six weeks since our lakes capped off, and other than a few ice fishing sorties, I'm getting a little twitchy.

Is anyone living near Arthur able to give an ice report tomorrow?  I'm looking to take the boat out for the maiden 2021 voyage and targeting either the Allegheny or Arthur.  The river is currently ice free near me, but I presume the lakes are a bit behind.
 
I'm specifically targeting the 528 side, but any report would be appreciated.  I'm hoping the 50s today and 60s tomorrow make a dent in the ice.

Just wondering if any of the park lakes are thawing out yet. LetTmenoK



Bet if you throw enough heavy tax rocks, you can make your own open water....


Those pathway bricks work better jus sayin

 Needed some exercise after being lazy most ov the winter and decided to take a walk to Lake Arthur from home. Don't think I'll be doing that again. Dumb idea after the old lady nailed me in the shin yesterday with a frozen log while splitting wood. Beautiful walk with lots ov Robins around.  Paying my sons to split and stack today and she is working for free  They probably have 30 truckloads to go

I hope you have a back way to avoid 528.  That winding part between the lake and your place is probably pretty dangerous to be walking on.  Guys fly on that road through those turns.
 
Did you get your log splitter back or are you making the boys do it the old fashion way?

 I could walk across the street through my dads yard and go over the hill & through the woods to fishin' we go, but used the first dirt rd. 300--350 yards from home. Yeah that 528 ain't the best, should have seen it in the 60's -- early 80's. It was like a goat trail. A good bit of waterfowl around and 9 Swans to boot. Broke the ice off the bait tank into snow cone slush yesterday and wanted to check and see how the shiners & fatheads did over winter but it refroze last night. All the Fruity Pebbles I put in for feed yesterday was frozen on top today  Just noticed little bit ago Tim must ov dropped of a dozen 18 lb. bags ov lamb and chicken mix dogfood on side porch so I'll start feeding 'em that and see if they like it. He went and picked up 2800 lbs ov soft lead today.
 
  Nah, on the log splitter that one was up Pymy place and had just enough snow on the ground to see where it got pushed to. Only maybe 10 houses on that 4 mile stretch it's farmland with a good bit of horse and buggy traffic. Found owners manual for it and was a 35 ton Brave. That thing wood split just about anything we could fit. $2,500 just rolled to the neighbors lol :) I didn't even report it to the Fuzz. Using a Husky 22 ton at home and works fine for most of the stuff we have here and much easier to move around. Just trying to get my yard back some. Had Tim start selling a boat a week last year and that only lasted for 5 weeks. He ended up buying 4 since then. He don't even live here smh. Told him to sell 3-4 from camp and only keep 2 good size ones in Slippery Rock. Easy sales this time ov year with spring fever, stimulu$ and tax return$ on the way. Yes there has been good sections ov open water to fish and wouldn't be surprised if all open in the next day or so.
