Anyone ever hear it f in hilarious hahah. Youtube it if link dont work called i wanna ice fish baby

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

LH has a little ice in the coves, main lake is still wide open, didnt check the state park that may be OK but there wasnt much action there the weekend we had ice. Its been too windy to lock alot of stuff up, only lakes that were already iced over are locked. Even the farm pond by my old mans is still not locked and that freezes before anything. Im gonna fish saturday up in sussex county theres a good spot I know that has safe ice was on it this morning 2-3" will be prob 6+ by saturday. I really wanna get out on LH or swartswood we need a nice calm night to skim things over

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Small sheltered places have safe ice, north side of Monksville is good. LH is 90% open water as of right now. Wind is screwing it up in a bad, bad way. Ill go to Skunksville saturday, always something to catch there. I like fishing difficult places.:D

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

There Are Guys Up In Woodport As I Write This.yes,the Main Lake Is Open But The Coves Are Growing Ice

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Yes BD, Woodport is good, probably the only area thats good. I just came back from doing an estimate up there. Ill fish that area saturday just don't venture too close to Brady Bridge. Little bit of open water about 20-30 yards up from the bridge. I didnt go all the way to the north end but im sure theres a few guys on the ICE getting those tasty PERCH!!!

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

That Water By Brady Never Freezes Good No Matter How Cold.i
Heard They In The Back Of River Stix Fishing Too.

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Brady Bridge in April for crappies and perch...one of the best times of the year! Good luck to the guys that get out this weekend, and be safe!!!

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Let's fish Woodport! Anybody down? Where do you guys want to meet? Where do you want to park? Let me know, I gotta get on the ice while we have it. YEA BUDDY!!! P.S. Delaware Water Gap is locked up. Anybody want to fish there? SICK!!!

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Where do you park and get on to fish Woodport?

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Eddie what name of the st where were gonna park never fished that area of the lake?

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

I never ice fished that area or walked on the ice in that area. The lake is lowered, I was up there today. The deepest spot in that whole area is probably 7 feet deep. Good question, where do we park? Ive been back there on my boat but not sure where to park. Might have to choose another lake with safe ICE!!! I don't know, HELP!!! Theres definitely fish to catch in Woodport.

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Location to be determined at a future date! Like friday? i think at that point we'll have the most acurate ice condition hopefully and then we decide where to go Eddie, Guys keep the reports coming when you can so we can make a smart decision on where to go! Thanks to you guys who are out there scouting the ice. I live a hour away, bit too far to travel to scout it out but i would if i lived closer or worked in the area. Most def wanna get out and chop some holes! CABIN FEVER IS SETTING IN !!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

A guy on ice shanty said he was on north side of monks yesterday solid five inches. just heads up im gonna check out swimming side round valley tonight. keep you guys posted on ice cond.

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Monksville, Lake Muskenetcong, Woodport on Hopatcong!!! Where ya'll wana go? Lots of places locked up last night but the ice isn't safe in most places. Monks has 6, Budd has 6, Woodport and River Styx are almost 6. Not sure where everyone wants to go. I say Monksville so someone pulls up a 50 inch MUSKY!!! I personally only ice fish places that have a chance for a big Pike,Walleye or Musky. That's just how I GO BIG! Any ideas fellas? TIGHT LINES!!!

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

I just came off Rte 15 and up Woodport Rd. around noon time today.
The cove near Woodport Marine is covered up. So is most of I think it's called Flash marina.
Looked like open water or just some skim ice about 50-60 yards out or so.
Didn't get out of my car. Just an observation from the road.

I'm 10 minutes away from Woodport and 15 minutes from Aeroflex.
Aeroflex is no problem for parking. I'll try to get back down near Woodport
about 4-4:30 this afternoon. No guarantee. If I can, I'll post some parking info, or I'll PM you Eddie or GetaNet with my cell #.

I don't ice fish anymore but happy to help a brother out if possible.

Tight lines gents.

Tom.

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th

Eddie, your the organizer of this Grand Event so make the call Buddy!!!!!
Can't be any slower than BUDD was!!!! HAHAHA It's about gettin together and havin a good time with hopefully some fish so go with your gut!!!!!!

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

As of 1700 today, Woodport area of LH not yet safe ice.

I don't think it got out of the the mid-teens here today so that should soon change.
Have you guys considered Lees County Park Marina off Howard Blvd ?
That might give you better parking area and more room for greeting & tail-gating.

Good luck, tight lines, and be safe wherever you guys decide.

Tom K.

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Anybody ice fish lake musnetcong???? Possible option? it's shallow, should be ok for parking and supposed to be good for perch/bass/pic's????? should be ice if budd has it.

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

My choice is going to be MONKSVILLE!!! It has the safest ICE that I know of. Come one, come all!!! Lets see if we can get a BIGGUN through the ICE!!!:D

They got a couple nice EYES this evening. Im not going out there alone unless i'm tied to a tree with heavy parachute cord. Just a thought, if anyone wants to hit POX monday evening, PM me. You want EYES through the ICE, that be the SPOT!!! TIGHT LINES FELLAS!!!:D

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

So if I got this right Buddy, it's Monksville and you ill be there about 8:00am? I have never been there so here do you get on the reservoir and where would be a place to get bait? I'll be coming down 78 and up 287. Also what would you suggest for bait, this ice fishing is new to me? Thanks for putting this together and hope to see you tomorrow if all goes well.

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Franks tackle and Monksville tackle on the left hand side on your way up. First right before the bridge, Beech rd. Take that down to the parking lot on the left. See you out there, its gona be a cold one.

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Really Sucks!!!! Woke Up With A Abcessed Tooth! Look Like Took A Punch From Mike Tyson And Feel Like It As Well So Unless The Antibiotics The Dentist Gave Me Perform Some Kind Of Overnight Miracle Unfortunetly Don't Think I Will Make This One.:(

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Oh man, that SUCKS!!! Hope you feel better. We'll be out there if your up to it. I had 2 abcessed wisdom teeth when I was younger, not good at all.

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

how'd you guys do today? wish i was out there with you... was a beautiful day to be on the ice...
got a group of 8 or 9 people headed for Lh tomorrow and me and jigs are hittin gw monday... gonna park by the dam.

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th, WRAP UP!!!
 

MEET-N-GREET WRAP UP!!! Showed up at Monks around 9 am, a little late but at least we made it there. Myself and Outofline set up our big baits, 6-7 inch Suckers. We didn't get a damn thing on those Suckers. At least we tried. Flatcreek, Phil and D. River Rat, Tom showed up shortly after we were done setting up our tip-ups. Matt got the only fish of the day, a Perch, fat as a pot belly pig. 12 1/2 inches and 1 pound exactly. Afternoon came and the wind started honking out of the west at 10-15 gusting to around 20-25. We were set up in the bridge area so we all got a nice windburn on the face today. Its all about the people that make you laugh. The fishing wasn't good at all but good times were had by ALL. Thanks for coming up Outofline, Matt, Flatcreek, Phil and D. River Rat, Tom. You guys are always a BLAST to hang out with. We'll get em next time. Just got home from the trip, need a HOT SHOWER and a BEER! TIGHT LINES!!! YEA BUDDY!!!:D

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

stopped by with my morning coffee around 10:00, watched you guys sitting on the ice from the warm suburban!

Wish you guys had a better day!

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

I knew that was you up there. Thanx for stopping by buddy. Fishing wasn't so good, but we tried. Get em next time.

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Skunksville lives up to it's name again !! Nice job getting the boyz together, next time Aeroflex or the pond at the end of the runway.

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Tough, tough place. But you can have really, really amazing days of fishing at Monks. Hard to get em open water or hard water. Oh well, next time we'll just bring 10 inch suckers and trout. Something has to turn those Musky on. I remember fishing there when the trout truck was there. As soon as the trout hit the water the Musky were on em like KILLER WHALES hunting SEALS. Most unforgettable freshwater sight I've seen.............................YEA BUDDY!!!

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Not always about the fish you catch. Great time had by Tom and me and that was one nice perch Outafine caught we tried hard to get it some freind to come home to dinner, but no takers. Next time Bubby. TIGHT LINES

Re: Njf Meet-n-greet-part 2, January 26th
 

Request to elaborate on the "killer whale" part of that post please Mr. Eddie! Would love to hear the story.
