It’s funny, I took almost no pictures and I was asking myself why until I remembered it was 1 degrees out when we first started. I didn’t WANT to take pictures then. 😄

We saw two different bald eagles and a fox ran by with dinner of some sort in its mouth.

I was out today in Rockaway. 4.5” I thought there would be more. 4 crappie, 1 perch, a bunch of gills, and a pickerel. A buddy hooked a channel cat on a jig, that was a first for me to see. 
 

Not sure if it’s true or not, but I heard a rumor of 2 guys going in at Muscanetcong. Divers being requested to recover the bodies.

We heard Lake Hopatcong. Not sure. Hopefully someone will have good news!

Confirmed 2 anglers went into Lake Muscanetcong today, and were retrieved alive and are recovering. I know it’s been cold, but not all of the ice is ready yet. It’s still early ice, I would carry spikes & spud my way out. There was even a small patch of open water on the 18 acre pond I was fishing in Rockaway today. Stayed open at least until I left around 2pm

We hit a 1 1/2 acre pond for that reason. We had 6” to 6 1/2” at every hole and it popped and expanded all day as it added maybe another 1/2” while we were there.  I even drilled a hole right over an obvious spring hole and that ice was at least 5” or more.

No ice fishing for me, I went once and was under dressed, that day I made a promise to myself that I would never go again...I kept that promise
