Well be getting on the ice at the big lot at the beginning of Van Styckles rd right off rt 31. You know, where Spruce Run "CRICK" dumps in. Lots of options in this area. Ice is plenty safe and will only get thicker as this coming week passes. The ice gods are definately on our side this year when it comes to HARDWATER ANGLING. Sorry open water dudes, I'm pretty sure you feeling like your going to jump off a building right now with the ice surrounding and taking over all bodies of water. Plenty of fish to catch. C'mon out and have a good time. I know, I know, it's cold out there and you don't know how to dress. I can't feel my fingers or toes, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!!!!!! I'll keep you safe and warm, but only if you join the party. What the hell are you holding back for? Your going crazy because you haven't caught a fish in two months. Your withdrawals can be cured with a little help from some ALL SEASON ANGLERS. Pike, LM, Smallies, Crappie, Perch, Catfish, Hybrids, you name it, Spruce has it! I'm just sayin! Stop sitting there staring at your gear and organizing your tackle box for the 100th time. Even if you only show up for a few hours, there's still a possibility of learning something and catching a fish.

YEA BUDDY!!!!! TIGHT LINEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's the water level in Spruce right now? When I stopped by there on Christmas it was super low.

[Bicey]

Stopped by there last weekend and today.....lake level is fairly low. Last week there was a ton of guys out and today there were maybe 8 guys out. Last week guys were all over the lake.....from the power lines to the launch to the crick. I also drove by the RV and there were guys on the ice at the main launch and on the beach side. I didn't go by the Rangers cove but I'd guess there's ice there. I'm pretty sure Dale has me convinced on coming up on the 22nd.

[GetANet]

Yea I gave it to him good!!! Kept hitting him till he said "Uncle" !!! LMAO!!!!

Miss my BUDDY!!!!! Yea, I do have more than one!!!!!

Can't wait to see the "SOGGY BOTTOM BOYS" PHIL and TOM too !!!!!

GONNA BE A GOOD TIME cause the BOYZ from NJF are coming to town!!!

Hey buddie, like to report Tom and me hit SR for a couple hours today and she rewarded us we with around a 28 inch pike that weighed just about 5 lb and a little perch.
There was 10 to 12 inches of ice in all the holes I checked.
Tom caught this pike jigging a phoebe tipped with a package meal worm you know the dead ones from walmart.
Tom and me are both looking forward to seeing you guys. I made a video but couldn't get it on here to save my life.

That was nice Phil, not bad for a couple hours of pleasant ice fishing weather.
2:30 - 5:00 pm, soaking some shiners and jiggin some spoons, mid to low 30's.
Should be 40's next weekend and 50's by the 22nd according to Accuweather.
Ice is nice, but I'm dyin for open water already.
