last ice catch from the cong
 

well it is a wrap.. the ice took a hell of a beating today we had 6" of ice and the top 2" was rotting fast and there was honeycomb ice were there was black holes or old holes and the shoreline was soft when we got off at 6:00pm. with the rain and warm temps i doubt there will be any safe ice left by the weekend. it was a good season with good catches including my first tiger musky caught in lake musconetcong that was 16" on a jig. the ice was not thick enough in the center of the cong to fish it so i did not get a walleye this season:( but i did end up with 38 days on the hardwater not bad. so now it is time to get the jiggs and bobbers ready for the crappies and perch when the ice is all gone. i hope everybody that got out there had fun.some last trip fish porn. yum panko fried fish for dinner.:D

you bet the water should warm up fast with the forecasted temps and when the ice is gone they will start to fill the lake back up to normal level then it is on. BOBBER DOWN FISH ON:cool:

Re: last ice catch from the cong
 

thanks squatch. icebadger loves to hit the hardwater:rolleyes: in this state you have to get out there when the ice is available. i remember the one year we had no ice that was a living hell for me pure torture don't ever want to see that again.
