10 guys out on lake yesterday. Think all will be good for Sunday.
Temps in the teens Fri and Sat night up there and below freezing Saturday.
Time to stock up for the Icemen's Tailgate with some fishin on the side.
Looks like bon fire on the ice this week.

Fished Wawayanda yesterday, still 6"-8" of good ice. Edges starting to thin out a lot though. You got to be careful this weekend there is going to be a lot of problems on lake edges. Also, remember the smaller impoundments are a lot more sensitive to temperature and rain fluctuations and can loose ice FAST, so be careful.

For anyone considering the hard water this weekend, please read the attached. Tragic story which happens too often.

https://patch.com/new-jersey/lawrenc...h-ice-cops-say

I'm not posting this to be dramatic, would hate for anyone to become a statistic. Ice is sketchy in a number of areas and with today's temps and rain it won't help. Looks like cold weather coming next week and hopefully things lock up again.

Two side's to going out on questionable ice, the risk you assume which is your choice but bear in mind there's kids who see others on the ice so not knowing any better they assume it's completely safe. Not their fault, they're young, excited about the ice but inexperienced. Know of a very young boy years ago who went through and drowned for that very reason. If you do wander out and the edges or ice are questionable. please be aware of anyone on land or around you, especially kids, who might be influenced into thinking all is fine. Believe me it's not something anyone wants to experience. Be safe and please be aware of what's going on around you.

Thumbs up Re: Ice conditions thread......?????

Plenty of ice out there guys! Especially north of rt 80. Big lakes exposed to wind and lots of sun took major hits. Sheltered coves are your best bet although I got some reports from smaller lakes being in perfect shape. Those reports state no shoreline damage and 6-7 inches of solid ice that will get stronger tonight. Be safe and take all precautions necessary!

Just came off of Mountain Lake 4-5 inches of ice the edges were a bit sketchy this morning but tightened up pretty good this afternoon! I wouldn’t recommend the northern end of the lake not a lot of ice

Good to know. That place freezes weird from the start. Run off from rain and salt from the streets and add on the springs. Tough place to get safe ice. Thanks for the report man!

i had a slow day on the cong today the ice was 6" at the state park area and was solid but there was still open spots around the lake. be careful if you go out.. if we get a couple more cold nites things should shape up a bit.
