;D Hey Ben! ;D Have you been out there yet??? I was told ice is 4-5 inches on Holman..I am going up today and check if anyone is about and how thick ??? Can't wait but not going till it's safe ;) ............ 8)

They were on local ponds last weekend. I doubt i'll be out fishing till the water gets soft again. I go under the knife for a hernia thu.

>:( >:( >:( Awh Ben, here I thought it was only we overly mature people doing that kind of stuff.. :P :P :P :P Prayers will be sent and please keep us posted on your progress.. ;) ;) ;)

Hopeful for a steady hand and a fast recovery Ben!

Keep us updated. Prayers are with you

:( Sorry to hear this :( I had a double done in 2004 :P Here's a tip....do not over do it to soon afterward. I was told ,you will be going again in 2 weeks. Give it some time, because as another Dr. advised me, it's a small incision on the outside but major work was done inside....GOOD LUCK with it. I have never had a problem since and hope you can say the same... ;D ............................ 8)

:) Went to Holman, yesterday ;D there were about 8-10 out. ;D Some of the ice was an off color yellow -brown. ??? I always thought, that was supposed to be unsafe...This pond gets choked with algae in the summer and I am wondering if that has any effect on the ice safety, or freezes into the ice and this is normal ??? To much of a rookie ice fisherman to know these things yet. >:(............. 8)
-
yellow brown is probably from weeds, should be clear black ice this time of year. We were cutting 6 inches of solid black ice at my place on sunday. with the rain and this cold weather we will be cutting 10" to a ft this weekend. Ice that is not as safe would be the milky white ice, also if the ice looks blue/grey, kinda like a coon that is almost prime but not, stay off that stuff, usually see that near the end of the season.

;D ;D ;D ;D jaspr1 don't put on a bikini and do any swimming :P :P :P :P fish at the market is gooder ::) ::) ::)

Anybody doing any ice fishing? I have been out 3 times now and it has been less than colossal. Apparently others are not doing that well either just a fish now and then. I see a bunch pick up and leave...got snowed out today...... 8)
-
Jaspr...After you end up ice fishing.. stick a wood chuck down half way in the ice hole... Return at night to that state park if they let you shoot on the lake... You could get yourself a coyote like that..Don't shoot some fool ice fisherperson out there at night though...You just wait and watch the chuck in the ice for a coyote to appear...Maybe you know of a private pond you can do this on and the farmer will have no problem with it.. Problem is getting yourself a chuck now.. Other vittles will work too if they look like a critter!
-
I always wanted to go ice fishing.. My problem is I'm hunting predators right to the end of the season...I have all that stuff too.. Got it on clearance.. heard tell the Marburg is good around where the bridges cross the channels... Perch... Northerns, and walleyes...There was a bait shop in Hanover that was even open Sunday Mornings for ice fisherperson.. I think that would be on RT 116.. Old gas station.. Might still be open.. Could get yourself some of those big shinners and go after Marburg Northerns. I talked to a guy that ice fished around where the canoe cove is...Figure.. logic whre the bridges do cross that small area is a part of the channels that go from the larger area to the other larger area.. hence that be a channel right smack in the middle of the bridges.. Fish like to lay in the channels in the lakes..

;D Keep it up and you'll be going to the Firehouse, Valentines Day Dance by yourself :o I think "Buckwheat" is free that day and you could get unceremoniously dumped ::) ..........the culinary treats of a POOR Purry Co. soul beat the Possum Porridge and Grilled Cheese sandwich your dishing out :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P......... 8)

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Aaaaaah, and the ice gets thinner :o :o :o :o :o Now fetch up some carp Purry County boy to go with that ground hog UB wants you to waste and there you will have your V-day treat... ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Jaspr ...Hern and you are safe I only do this at Little Buffalo Lake in Perry. I near shot two guys fishing out there on that lake Monday afternoon. Good thing you fish at that new Perry County lake with a different name. You see a Chuck half way down an ice hole hit the ice fast! Had me think it was you two for a second! :)
-
;D ;D ;D ;D Sounds like..."In-Coming" ::) ::) ::) hit the dirt!!! :o :o :o :o
-
Serious now check your old ice holes for coyote tracks. They come in to forage for old bait and lunch drops. You could win that Perry Coyote contest doing this. Baiting is legal for coyotes!

Pagoose I think the cause is iphone and big fingers!

;D Well those two weren't me and Hern ;D We're veteran frontiersmen and know how to blend in and sit motionless longer than a Navy Seal can hold his breath. ::) We did see a coyote looking for a groundhog ??? but Hern said let him go :o You'll have your hands full lassoing him with 4lb ice line :P :P How he knows all this stuff I don't know :o but I let him go :( :( :( :( :( :(........ 8)
-
;D ;D ;D ;D Well you ice fisher people.. ::) ::) ::) ::) it should be cold enough for you to drive your vehicle to your favorite fishing hole, that is unless the ice looks like Swiss cheese :o :o :o :o :o as I know some like to play with their auger ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D and you better use one of them thar shacks cause your lil finners won't be the only thing cold :P :P :P :P :P :P :P
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D You ex-Navy people >:( >:( >:( >:(. You are SO afraid of the "crossing the ice" ritual :-[ :-[ that you won't come out and play :( :( Get away from the stove you Weenie :P :P I will get BigBen to sit on the Ice Bucket Throne ;) as King Neptune ;D and oversee the ritual ??? Never fear ??? we won't have you do anything with that little auger your sporting :-[ :-[ :-[ We need larger ice holes than that :P :P :P :P......... 8)
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D And the larger holes equate to larger fish??? ??? ??? ??? ??? or does it justify you getting wet when you slip in.... :o :o :o :o and you need to quit pushing Hern when he's trying to get off the ice and falling... :P :P :P :P :P Ben watch out for that tactic...he be a sly one :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

-
:o :o :o :o Ahhhhh, Jist tryin to prove you don't go to the pet store for your feesh :P :P :P :-X :-X :-X :-X
-
Thats good paul. Phish phry at pauls.
The secret weapon is a game changer. I know people say its called fhishing for a reason but when its cold out i like catching personally. They calling for below zero wind chill tonight. I can hear the ice being made.
I cant wait till the day i drop the back of that boat trailer in flowing water again.
-
;D BB I'm with you ;D You can't argue ice fishing doesn't keep the catch fresh ::) but I think I would rather lug a cooler and fish in a T shirt.... ;D ;D ;D..........Here's a story from yesterday: An old guy, like me, had stopped and chatted with us the day before. Well mostly with Rick cause he has all the bell's and whistle's and doo dad's...and he was busting me cause at that time I had my 1 fish and Rick had about 5 or 6...so last night he comes by and I have my 1 fish and Rick has zero...but he busts on me and then talks with Rick about spring bobbers. When he left he says "I would have told you the secret but it would be a waste. >:( >:( so a little while later I see him catch a fish (he's about 50yds from us) :) So I walked over looked at fish and "HOLLERED" Hey Rick I think it's a Sardine.... ;D ;D there were quite a few there and all you could hear was laughing...I looked at him and said "I hate people who don't share secrets"....so a little while I'm landing a fish and you hear him yell "Hey I got a gaff if you need it" .....BB you are right not only Goose but some of these Ice People are not right :o excluding of course you and me ::) .................8)
-
fisherman are odd sorts they are. 8)
-
;D ;D ;D ;D Especially the ones who sit on buckets on ice and freeze their posteriors off... :-X :-X :-X :-X
-
it is something how icefisher people arent right. When Forrest was about 8 years old, we were icefishing at our place, i was about 20 yards away from him when he catches this nice bluegill. he is holding it in his left hand and talking to him. he said. pleased to meet you Mr. Blue Gill would you mind joining us for dinner and tossed him on the ice and smiled.
i have another buddy the yells TUNA every once in awhile when he hooks one.
also i haven't seen the frozen perch lawn dart game played in awhile but with this deep snow it is a possiblity this weekend.
-
How far are you guys from Tunkhannock PA 18629..
-

-
;D Hey Scott is that in the USA or is that in Indian Territory? ??? ;D We have a motto ::) We will fish anywhere,anytime any weather :o :o Maybe I can convince some of my associates ::) to make a drive or we're in the Duncannon,17020 area just a few miles north of Hbg. :) Bring your son and come to breakfast Mar. 7th if you can.. ;D...you won't learn anything :( except how to tell "Can you top this stories" but it should be fun... ;D ;D ;D............ 8)
-

Jasper you should be ashamed keeping those little guppies. You must have been threatened to not come home unless you had a meal. Rumer has it if you leave the fins on they stick in your stomach and make you feel like you have a full belly.

As far as straightening out the old coots....he better have had his breakfast before he gets there :P :P :P :P :P We'ns didn't become old coots by being stuuuupid!!! :P :P :P :P :P

we did some fishing at my pond yesterday afternoon. Got to the lake around 1:00 p.m., sun was out and the temps were above freezing I think for the first time this year. We fished in our bibs and sweatshirts all afternoon. the fishing was probably the best it has been this year yet. My son and i caught about 150 fish each and the wife caught around 100. We invited 3 nice calicos and 2 nice perch back to the house for dinner, the rest went back except for a couple of shiners left for the coyotes and crows. Temps were probably in the 40s but it almost felt like 70. Cutting 15 to 18 inches of ice. Should be good for another week or so... lol.
-
yesterday I figured would be good but I didn't spend any time on the ice. sounds like a good time scott
