guys it is with a heavy heart that i have to inform that the ice took a beating today, i was out on my spot and got off the ice at 11:30 it was 53 degrees and the rot was about 1 to 2 inches depending where i stepped i had 8" of ice but the sun and warm temps rotted the top so you were dealing with about 6" of black ice. I was able to drill thru very easily and the ice showed some honeycomb condition. dows pulled their ramp because joe was able to punch thru with his spud in 4 hits the temps are going to drop tonight but the shores took a beating. i did not go to the state park today to see if the shores were good you might need a plank to get out.. there was one guy fishing on the right side when i went by the shore hills area at 6:45am when i went out the ice was good but by 10:00 am the ice was not shiny any more and the water was bouncing in the old holes pretty good when i walked pass them so i am not sure that having a bunch of people in a small area is safe. if you still want to try this we should meet on the right side of the park and check the ice first.

I’ll be there when the gates open or whatever. I’m going to try to get on by the trees. I will spud all around to make sure we’re alright. Any negative conditions and I’ll cancel last minute. Safety first.

1 more update. I have a confirmed 8-9 inches of ice at LHSP. A friend was there today and said it’s all good. Top layer got a little soft as did the edges by the beach. All systems go for tomorrow people.

Unfortunately I’m not gonna be able to make it this time. Had a very good friend pass away this week and services are tomorrow. Thought I might be able to make it for a couple hours in the morning but that isn’t possible. Services are down in Freehold and I need to be there early. Have a great day boys and I’ll catch you next time.

How was yesterday's MNG? Winds picked up during the day and border ice looked sketchy but quite a few trucks in the lot and members on the ice for what appears to be the last hoorah.

We had 12 people show up. The morning flags were flying. We found 7-8 inches of ice out there. Scott brought out the big Eskimo shelter and we were cooking with the heat on. Beautiful day on the ice with the boys. Pickerel, Perch and some Bullhead catfish were all caught on this day. Fun times as always with the right people. And yes, the edges were definitely shot by the time we walked off. This Wednesday’s rain will be the season ended for sure. I’m thankful for the nice long season we had! It was a blast getting out there and using all the gear I invested in. TIGHT LINEZ!!! FLAGGGGGGG!!!?
