Hahaha!!!! Andre YOU SUCK!!! Lol!!! Kidding........maybe!

Ohhhhhhh, it's coming wether you like it or not! Looks like a possible flash freeze situation in most of NJ For the end of the week. Let's see what happens and be careful most importantly! I've went threw before and don't wish that pain on anyone! Buddy system, ropes, picks, float suit or flotation device! They're all must haves when venturing out onto early ice and "ALL ICE!!!" I'm really hoping for a better season than last! Good luck to all and be careful on your scouting missions!!!!

TIGHT LINEZ and FLAGS for ALL!!!!! YEA BUDDY!!!!!!!!!

My experience with ice fishing so far

Threw some rocks on a half frozen river and it made a cool sound.

That was Sunday when it was snowing. And I saw a heron on the ice figuring out the situation (tbh it probably knows more about fishing than I do)

This is why I won't be using my new auger near boat launches.

OK boys and girls.

It is official. I was on safe ice last night at 2am and surprisingly it was not y bathtub.

Yes I couldn't wait till weekend. Yes I know I am nuts. No I was not alone, had a buddy with me at all times. No I was not drunk (I know that's a surprise). No I didn't catch anything.

Only issue I had was actually finding a safe ice closer to shore. Everything 5 feet out had a solid 3 to 4 inches of ice.

On a side note I found out that I really need to drop some damn weight.

Be safe everyone and get ready for this weekend.

Not surprising after the rain we had yesterday morning. It really messed up the ice closest to the shore

For the uninitiated this is a good ice fishing safety resource.

Remember there is no such thing as safe ice! There are a million and 1 variables that can affect the ice thickness within any given lake (springs, weeds, wind, snow cover, bird activity, dock bubblers, etc).

Personally I don't like going out on anything less than 6" because you never know how much ice is under that next step.

Be safe out there!
