It looks like a giant piece of Swiss cheese covered with Russians.

Fished the north end of the big pond today. 6-8 inches of ice all around. Lots of open water near docks! Bite was ok but only when it came to jumbo Perch and Bullhead Cats. This ice isn’t leaving anytime soon! Just be careful around the bubblers and land owners docks!!! Get em MANIACS!!!

I was ice fishing on Budd Lake on Saturday. Shocked to see about 1/2 the lake was open water. Fished between the beach and the theater and had a good 6" of ice. Slow day only 2 flags. NJ fish and game was out. Saw them ticket a guy for too many tip ups and a short pike.
