Anybody been out ice fishing yet? How about on the finger lakes especially honeoye or conesus? Hows it going any pictures?

Have not been out but heard Honeoye has 4 to 6, Loon has 6 to 8, and Silver Lake as 4 to 6 on south end. Want to hit Chautauqua Lake this weekend but only have safe ice on south end I've heard.

this cold snap gets over it's on like donkey kong for me

Gonna need my new built "Smitty Sled " for ice fishing this weekend with a fresh 15 inches of snow...

conesus lake people either love it or hate it. never caught anything in it and I tried all 4 seasons. I'm of the latter and I lived in Avon. 300 yards from the DEC regional office. 4 minutes from the lake.

I guess I'm a love it... it's about the only lake I fish so it's hard to break away after learning how to catch some fish. Although haven't ice fished in years and am hoping to get out a few times this year.

Conesus is the lake you take people to that are learning to fish or have never ice fished before. Easy access (parking), not much walk and lots of fish (dinks) to be caught. We go there a few times each winter, its about an hour drive for us. When we want real fish, we go to Silver Lake. This weekend I will be trying Small Boat Harbor for the first time, heard its hitting pretty well on keeper perch and gills right now.

don't laugh but you ever heard of Cuba lake or Alma pond in Allegany county??my 2 spots but am looking to broaden my horizons.

Any walleye over there ?

Cuba lake has walleye,also northern,crappie,perch and bluegill and in good numbers..just hard to find but once you do they are easy to folllow.Alma is 15 min. from my house and is full of crappies and perch.big crappies too,couple 17-18 inchers every year.5 ft deep at best,usually a late afternoon/night bite but boy is it fun when they turn on.your getting me worked up guy's and i'm already dyin to use my new auger.

Just a tad bit cool out on Chautauqua Lake this morning. North end (Mayville) 2 inches of clear ice with 10 inches of white ice on top. Nothing to write home about. Dozen perch dinks that I returned to the depths from which they came. Guess its to the south end for eyes, perch and crappies if I go back out.

Does sitting on a frozen dock count as ice fishing ??

Tidal ice in the lowlands of Maryland has been good for the past week.

The noise from the cracking ice as the tide changes keeps the "feint of heart" on the run.
