Long Island Lock Ice Report

[darkelf]

Hey guys, just got back from LIL. 4 hrs on ice = 28 perch, no real keepers. 10-12 inches of ice, hard crust of snow on top with a little water in between in places, so its a little slushy. Great day to be out and the new fish finder works awesome!!! tight lines!

Glad to hear the ice is safe....how big were the Perch? Anything to speak of?

no keepers, so between 5-8 inches. turns out i got the day off work last minute so i'm thinking of giving her another go shortly. i was just left of the launch, most fish came from 8 fow.

If my better half shows up soon from shopping, I may join you...first time out so far...

... 10-12 inches of ice, hard crust of snow on top with a little water in between in places, so its a little slushy. ....

I have heard that this is the issue at Rideau Ferry as well. A friend's truck "broke" through the crust and had a hard time getting off the ice. Said it would be difficult on ATV as well.
I may try this weekend with my ski-doo. Maybe. I always wait till I see others out first before I will venture out. A tad nervous on ice.

straight out from the walk path is good, stray left or right to far and its 4" of slush, going to get worse this weekend with it worming up.
