NJF ICE M-N-G @ LH, JANUARY 31st

[FASTEDDIE29]

Alright boyz and girlz alright. Got some new faces getting involved this year, good stuff! 10 days away from the NJF ICE PARTY!!! Come one, come all! See you boyz soon!

Anyone coming to this thing? It's this Saturday at Lake Hopatcong. My good friend Bob needs some help. He's looking for some firewood to burn in his custom pit. If you guys have a few pieces to spare please feel free to bring some. It's going to be a cold blustery day, similar to last year. Dress warm, hang out, possibly catch a fish, who knows!?!? I don't expect anyone to stand out there all day. It's not going to be that comfortable. Myself and Bob should be there at sunrise to get the fire going. That way once your done setting up your tip ups, you'll have a place to come warm up. Make sure you have your propane stoves/ grills ready as well. I'm sure we'll be cooking something up on the ice. Consuming calories is another great way to keep warm in frigid temps. Hope to meet some new faces, if it's only a few. See you MANIACS out there.

TIGHT LINEZ!!!
FLAGGG!!!

I'll be there. Looks like the same weather as last year. I haven't used the shanty or heater this year so I'll bring them. I don't have any firewood for Bob but I'll bring him a muskie rig and a big bait.

They're forcasting mid 20's for Saturday...It's going to be down right balmy compared to lst year! That was a chilly day and I don't think it got above 15. Plus that wind was a howlin. If the wind keeps under control we'll be breakin out the sun tan lotion and skeeter repellent.

See you Sat guys.

I am shooting to be there Saturday bright and early. Ideally, I will get to Dow's for bait soon after they open and then come down to Barnes. It will actually be my first time on the ice at Hopatcong.

I'm pretty sure we can leave the sun tan lotion at home!!!! hahahaha....Looks like a balmy 3 degrees with 18mph sustained and gusts to 40 lol..... I might put my tail between my legs on this one.

Best of luck to ALL of you hardwater maniacs!!!
You're ALL better men than me, by far....
Never caught the ice bug, and I've gone more than a handful of times...
The only way I enjoyed the fishing part was when jigging the depths fer lakers....

Maybe when the kids are grown and move out , ill git back into ice jigging??only time will tell....Anyway good luck and stay warm-ish guys...
