Sorry - no details - Black Lake is all I know.

The ice is nice, after that little warm up - snow and slush is gone and the is a good hard 5-6" in most areas. Most folks reporting a tough/slow bite. I can echo that. Fish do seem aggressive at all.

Here's a little Crappie from today. Got out on Rollaway today with a couple friends. Ice was 6" plus and hard and building. ATVs running all over the lake there.

Phil that's a beauty!

Phil,
How big is that crappie? Looks like a beauty! Caught on bare hook?

Did not measure or weigh it. I think I'd give it 14.5" Maybe a bit more. Yes, lure with no bait.

how is the ice holding up with this warmer weather?

Not really well. Lots of open areas on the main lake with a nasty shoreline in most areas. I'm not going out till we get a few days of cold weather. It'd be different if it was last ice and not first ice. Just not good, in my opinion.

The weather is back in the ice-making business. Be back out there soon. I heard rumors the Crappie bite was on.

Phil, it looks like your standing in front of my camp.. Coming up a week from

Friday. I hope there biting... Nice crappie

Just wondering how the ice is now on Rollaway? Group of us coming up from Syracuse this weekend. Thanks
