Never take anyone's word that ice is safe; you have to check and make your own choice. No such thing as safe ice.
Don't get me wrong, I love ice fishing, just respect the ice. Personally, I am happy to fish on 4" and bring my kids out on 6"; others may make other choices.

never the first one on the ice and never the last one off!

Someone running the contest is going to have to check the ice. I’ll contact some people and try to find out what kinda shape it’s in.

Ok guys Mikey and I checked the ice today. We have a solid 7 inches of ice for the party next Saturday. Few guys were all over the lake today which is great to see. We’ll be out there bright and early for the contest. Hope to see you out there. Don’t forget to stop at The Sporting Life for all your bait and gear.

So we access the ice via the rock wall? Where does the NJfishing crew usually meet? Will be my 1st meet n greet.

Not sure how many anglers are showing up. But my son and I will be parking here.

Stay tuned for an ice update. Mikey and Matt will be checking it this afternoon.

Contest at Round Valley swimming side cancelled!!! The sun and warmer temps have done damage to the edges already so it’s not worth the risk. Looking for a safe venue in NNJ to hold a Meet-N-Greet.
