Thanks for the update. The snow in front of my house turned to ice and I'm in Union County. Not supposed to go above freezing until Thursday. I'll be out on Sunday, even with the warmer temps at the end of the week. Be safe guys.

Good stuff Mikey! This season is looking like it could be a good one. It's about time. Northern nj lakes also has some ice for you guys looking for a Pike. 2 of my boyz were out there today. 1 pike was caught 27 inches, LM 20 inches and abunch of big crappie and perch. Ice wasn't that good according to them, 1.5 of black with 2 inches of crud slush ice on top. All kinds of ice out there fellas. See you out there!
