I fish 3 seasons fairly full time, active SOL member a while. In winter I do another sport, maybe you have seen it, I windsurf on the ice. We go seriously fast! Were you on Lake W on Saturday? If so, windsurfing on the ice looks like a freaking blast and you weren't kidding about going fast! I spent more time watching the surfing than my flags!

I got up to 55 mph max speed before we got slushed out, then it was just fun splashing and sliding around in the slush with mega winds. I think Lake W is about over after the nest 3 days of warm and rain. The launch at north end got totally wasted and broken up , we got a little wet getting off even with a plank.

zmkm Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Fished a pond close to Boston area today, plenty of ice, at least a foot, solid and safe, even the shoreline is well locked. Not much action though, only caught a pickerel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rst3 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Ice forecast- After a great wknd on the ice with mild but dry air that had limited melt impact, the thaw gains steam tomorrow with an inch of warm rain--plus gusty winds for the SE corner of the state. A few days of cold weather follow, then back to mild stuff (upper 40s) for next wknd. Long range- The current thaw pattern looks to hold through the 1st week in February. After that, signs increasingly point to a pattern flip back to cold, with most days featuring below average temps. Though we're really getting out there now.. the pattern may extend through the end of the month and into early March. A more active storm pattern may accompany the cold, which means insulating snow. On the one hand.. snow really slows the formation of new ice in freezing weather. On the other.. a layer of snow blocks direct sunlight from blasting exposed ice. This tends to become an issue for ice as we get deeper into February. The intensity of sunlight here in SNE rises from 270w/m^2 around the winter solstice, to 600w/m^2 in March. Late winter sunlight baking exposed ice not only weakens it internally, but acts just like a greenhouse, with a thin layer of warm(er) water that forms just below the ice. Fishing kills me exactly as it keeps me alive. Hemingway, Old Man and the Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBYRD Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Thank you rst3! I always look forward to your weather forcasts.... I'm starting to trust you over the pretty dresses on local TV! You ever think of having your own "Fishing forcast" video feed? I'm sure you would get a ton of SOL member support.

Shiners did the trick for a few pickerel but were to big for the perch. Checked out a few of my local ponds in Eastham hoping to ice fish, but the ice was unsafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
