Thanx Jim! Hahaha, I really hope that nobody follows my friends or my lead by going on ice that thin. It's just not the right thing to do. If you chose to venture out on thin ice please make sure you have all the proper safety gear and never go out alone. Gotta be out there to get em! We caught some fish 2 days I a row. Off to a great start!

New member here and I'm IN......just need to know where to send payment

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

Had the pleasure of getting out again with Mikey and Seth today. Nice brisk day to be out on the ice. The ice fishing face tan is looking good. We had a so so jig bite with the Perch and 1 little Crappie. Slow day overall until Seth got a flag. Lines peeling off nice and slow and Seth stayed calm and poised. He sets the hook and WHAMMO. Nice battle with a bruiser Pike that measured 35 1/2 inches. This would be Seths very first Pike and a PB all at the same time. And, we have a nice entry going up in the Pike category. YEA BUDDY! What a start to the season. Congrats on your first Seth! It was a pleasure helping you ICE that pig Pike. ITS GOOOOOOOOOO TIME!!!!

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

congrats seth! real nice pike!

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

Big thanks to Mikey and Eddie for that fish. Good coaching landed that fish.

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

Great job guys - beautiful fish - how much ice was there?

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great day,great company and a great fish.i'm jealous!!

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

Sweet fish dude! Nice way to start the ice season!

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

Thanks guys, we had 3" of ice.

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

Nice job guys! Game on! I walked on water over an hour south of there today. Lots of ice but the wind kept the wider spots open. Once the wind dies down everything should lock up. Any ice that froze 2 nights ago will be safe this weekend but because of the wind the lakes froze weird. Some open water spots froze this morning so this weekend you could go from 3-4" to 1-2" in a few steps. If you guys go out bring a spud bar, ice picks, rope, and wear a suit that floats or wear a life jacket.

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

The ice is not at a comfortable thickness for most people as of right now. Take Matts advice and please be careful out there. Do not go alone, make sure you have all the proper safety gear as mentioned. This game is not a joke. Be safe! See you ladies and gents out there soon.

Alright MANIACS! It's pretty much go time this weekend. Anyone else looking to join? The deadline is tomorrow at midnight. If your not "IN" by then, well, you get zero. Don't forget to post your entries on this page and make sure you have the tourney card, nice big tape measure and the 2 photos required.

NO PRIVATE LAKES!!!!!

FLAGGGGGGGG!!!!!:D

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

QUOTE=FASTEDDIE29;383654]Tis the season………………………………to pull some fish through some icy NJ holes. In the spirit of the off season as some "ANGLERS" like to call it, we the members of NJFISHING.COM are going to have a little contest. I'm not sure how these so called "ANGLERS" fish from April-October and then call it quits. Especially when there's fish to catch all year round in our great little state.

Guyz and galz, this is the MYSTERY ITEM that you need to include in your fish entry pics. Please make sure you have this in at least 1 pic with a ruler showing the fishes length. Pic 2 must show you on the ice holding your entry. Any questions on the rules, always go back to page 1 of this thread. GO GET EM!!! :D

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

Also, what qualifies as a public water? I fish many large community lakes such as White Measow Lake in Rockaway.

No private lakes. Public access lakes only. Lakes listed as places to fish on the Fish and game website. No permit lakes. I would love to catch some of the pickerel, bass and walleye that are in Whit Meadow lake. Unfortunately I do not know anyone who lives there. This lake is a NO, NO!

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

I own a house on white meadow but hate to disappoint you. Walleyes is Avery elusive there. Mostly bass and perch. Sometimes pickerel. Trout in the spring is good as are hybrids.

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

A yellow perch entry! Just shy of 14"... 13 7/8??? Had a shorter but fatter one, too. Both inhaled large shiners!

Re: "1st annual njf ice contest 2015"

Nice perch Jeremy! Totally under appreciated species. It's gonna be tough to chase that one down.
