Sorry You guys has a bummer of a day but you weren't alone...... I fished Hopatcong today w/ a bunch of guys and it was same as Eddie said.....a nightmare(or a good workout depending how you look at it)......had to walk out 200 yards on 12 inches of snow then shovel a 5x5 area of clear ice to set up and fish.....dig through 14" of ice and when we got through the area we cleared out filled up w/ 2" of water....the tipups were floating around!!!...it was a night mare today!!!...I only ended up w/ one perch and one bluegill to show..Adam ended up w/ a few bluegill and Joey and crew got a few pickerel.....going from hole to hole was brutal by days end....gonna give it a break until a really good cold snap freezes up everything solid again.....

Here was the best part of the day....the view as the sun was coming up over the lake......from there it was all mostly downhill.....but good to be out after a few days of uncertainty......
