Had between 6"-8" on a small Sussex County lake today. Edges were good, no issues getting on and off.

Budd Lake this weekend.

Edges were solid. Ice from 5 to 7 inches. Singing all weekend.

Spring by the castle area had open water.

Slow fishing but a chunky Larry was landed.

Saturday on a NNJ Walleye Lake! Nobody catches Walleye through the ice on this lake. Ice ranged from 7-11 inches with very little meltage at the end of the day. Shoreline was a tad soft but nobody went through. Cold weathers coming back fair weather anglers. Looks like your going to be screwed til March easily. Bwahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like we are getting a nice little freeze coming up. Hope to get onto that NNJ lake your talking about. Tip-ups dedicated to the elusive eyeball and some jigging to pass the time.
Did see 1 guy out on Budd today (between launch and rt46). However I did not stop and do not know what the ice conditions are there.
Good luck to all and stay safe. 👍

It looks like a giant piece of Swiss cheese covered with Russians.
