Headed out ice fishing tomorrow AM. Folks have been out on some of the sheltered ponds for a couple of weeks here, but the one we're headed to wasn't safe last Sunday.
Heard there’s around 4 inches in southern NH
Red Sox in 6!
Fished this am up in Barnstead, stood on about 9" of ice. Didnt catch crap. Came home and fished the tiny pond 1/8 of a mile from my house. 7" of ice and I crushed the perch and a few bass jigging for the last 2 hours of daylight. Ice was booming and cracking good this am. -7 air temp at 6:30 am when we headed out.
Had 6"-8" in Bradford. Bunch of slime darts and two jumbo YP. You're right about the loud ice! Did see an eagle right off the bat too.
Had 6" of gin clear ice in Amherst yesterday, buddy of mine was out in Brookline today and had 5" of black ice as well, both TINY little ponds. Just curious how all of the cape ponds held up from this cold front. It's been 2 weeks since I got my boat out, I vowed to not go longer than 4 weeks between open water trips this winter dammit!!
I was hoping some of the cape boys would chime in , I think Basscat21 said he had ice down there just not sure how much??

I heard Mashpee and Wequaquet were open, and Santuit had ice around the ramp but the rest was open ,so you still can find some open water Sean if you want to head down...lol

At this point it won't be for another 3 weeks. Can't get out this weekend. Can't get out next weekend as I'm working the Expo for sponsors. Following weekend we're going to Champlain for some lake trout through the ice, that should be fun. After that, I'm hoping to drag the boat down if the snow plays nice! Puts me at mid February which is usually good for open water options down that way if memory serves correct.
