Ice reports

If you know of safe ice here in Mass. please post it here so others know of ice conditions in the state. Thanks

A man who was ice skating on Tispaquin pond, here in Middleboro, MA ., fell through and drowned last Friday.

I fish that pond and the deepest part is only 7 feet. I guess it doesn't take much.

Please, if you're ice fishing, use good judgement. When I was younger, I use to love ice fishing. But, I'll admit that I use to bring a bottle with me. Drinking and ice fishing does not mix. It can be the death of you. Plus you gotta' worry about driving home afterwards.

Let's all have a good time and not suffer a tragedy. Be safe out there.

Well down here in CT a lot of lakes and ponds are fishable, with reports coming in of some nice fish. You guys keeping it a secret up there??

anywhere in south eastern mass isn't safe. Idk about northeastern ma. Got friends out in the springfield area I can ask them what they see but they dont fish!

Thanks for chiming in anyway Mikeyc, if those people don't fish I don't think they will be of much help, but ya never know!

The best I can tell you is most small ponds out west are all set. Heres a good one for you Oxbow in easthampton an ashfeild pond is Ashfeild are being fished. Oxbow is a reel good pond and is also part of the Conn. river system which means smallmouth and largemouth for sure. Also tiger muskie and pike which I believe is one of your favorite aqualung. Lets put iy this way the ice is getting close to ft thick there. Good luck

Mike, Thanks alot for that info...I'm going to look into it for sure.
Hopefully I will get out there and post a report
Thanks again!
If you think of anything else please be sure to let me know.
