Laurie more and less implicitly confirms my recent posts, although there was enough ice to get out on Hopatcong on Saturday, and I wonder if anyone fished Tilcon. To get the chisel head of a splitting bar through with two strokes is definitely ice not to step out upon. We call that kind of ice rotted. I wonder how deeply striated that ice had got by Saturday.
Laurie:
The 2018 ice fishing season for Lake Hopatcong has sadly
come to an end…although there is still about 4 to 5 inches of ice covering most
parts of the lake, shorelines have opened up and you can put the spud bar thru
in 2 shots. Warmer temps and rain forecasted for the upcoming week should
really finish it off. A handful of guys did fish on Saturday after the freezing
temps the night before with several pickerel and perch caught in the shallower
water and some nice walleye jigged up out of deeper water off Chestnut Point.
Bring on Spring !!! Have a great week...
