Good time today, guys! Decent turn out for sure, winged or not! Lots of grabs and drops with the tip ups today. Chicken finger perch were all I could muster on the jig. Eddie scored a nice bass, as did liveitup... Congrats to Kelly on her first ice pike, too! Also cool to meet some new people and spend time with familiar faces.

Sick brownie by the way dude... Fish was a silver fox! Till next time... Catch em' up!

Thanx to everyone who made it out on the ice. Another MEET-N-GREET in da books. Great to see everyone as always. Good food, great laughs and a slow day for most of us. Ahhhhhhhhhh, the beers and food help to pass the time when your waiting for those flags to fly. Good times had by all. Kelly got her first Pike ever around 18-20 inches. Congrats Kelly! Mike had his tip up in a honey hole and got more action than anyone with a beautiful Brown around 4-5 lbs, nice and silver. He also got a nice little LM. Jeremy was king of the jig today whacking some sub standard Perch, 5 inchers, LOL! Had 2 flags myself but missed the first and on 2nd iced a nice 5 lb LM. Great day out there for sure. In total there was about 20 NJFers on the ice on this glorious Saturday. Thanx for the food Dale and Jeremy! See you MANIACS again real soon.

TIGHT LINEZ!!! YEA BUDDY!!!!

That was a fun day, good to see everyone out there, including the swan. Thanks to Dale and Eddie for bringing the grub. By the way, someone left a small black chair and an aerator on the ice. Let me know if it's yours and we'll meet up somewhere so I can give them back.

Looks like you guys had a good time, sorry I missed it especially since I'm only 20 min from there. House projects are out of control. FYI be careful with the beverages in the future, state park, always being watched! Most of the guys are cool but you never know.

Some good news: just heard from Tom, Jim is doing okay. They ran a bunch of tests and they all came back negative. They're keeping him in the hospital overnight just in case but it looks like he'll be fine.

That's awesome news, Matt. Glad the outlook is positive! Pretty unnerving scenario/symptom onset.

Good seeing everyone out there today, even though I bailed a bit early to head to RV and didn't get any tip ups in at Spruce lol. Fun time though, and getting to see that Brown landed was a nice treat for Spruce Run!

Nice morning out there - always good to be back in Hunterdon county!

Matt - I just ran out to the car and have a feeling I left a black camping stool and a bubbler on the ice. not sure where I'll be fishing the next few weekends but I'll meet you somewhere. will send pm.
