Went out today in northern NJ to some quarries and the edges are starting to be a little chopped up. Air temps and rain over next four days won't help so be careful out there especially at impoundment with deep drop offs near shore.

I was out on swartswood and the ice was good there 10" some surface rot by 6pm when i came off the ice. the state park is shallow 3'to 8' now with the lake down 22" we should be good if we stay local in the park area.

Keep us posted on conditions Badger. People are showing interest in the ice party. Let’s see if we can make it happen.

Hey guys. We may do a possible spot change but at the same venue. Stay tuned for more info.

Badger, thank you for the continued updates! You are appreciated!

I can’t believe we finally had a normal season. I think everyone was caught off guard and in shock that our ice finally came back to us. Pretty awesome for real!

State park tomorrow everyone. Look for my red Eskimo shelter to the right of the beach. Going to drag this thing out there because I haven’t set it up in 4 years. Haha! I want to make sure it still functions properly.

guys it is with a heavy heart that i have to inform that the ice took a beating today, i was out on my spot and got off the ice at 11:30 it was 53 degrees and the rot was about 1 to 2 inches depending where i stepped i had 8" of ice but the sun and warm temps rotted the top so you were dealing with about 6" of black ice. I was able to drill thru very easily and the ice showed some honeycomb condition. dows pulled their ramp because joe was able to punch thru with his spud in 4 hits the temps are going to drop tonight but the shores took a beating. i did not go to the state park today to see if the shores were good you might need a plank to get out.. there was one guy fishing on the right side when i went by the shore hills area at 6:45am when i went out the ice was good but by 10:00 am the ice was not shiny any more and the water was bouncing in the old holes pretty good when i walked pass them so i am not sure that having a bunch of people in a small area is safe. if you still want to try this we should meet on the right side of the park and check the ice first.

I’ll be there when the gates open or whatever. I’m going to try to get on by the trees. I will spud all around to make sure we’re alright. Any negative conditions and I’ll cancel last minute. Safety first.
