greenwood lake/splitrock report

[icebadger]

a friend and i tried to go get on greenwood lake this morning and was greeted by open water about 50 yards of it by the dam. we then tried the new york end of the lake and found about 45 to 60 yards of ice then open water in the middle so we said the hell with this and had to go to plan B splitrock. we got there and went out to the big island to find some perch and some smb or lmb.the ice was 7.5" to 8" we drilled holes and hoped for the best we caught 12 perch from 9" to12" and 5 slime darts from 14" to 18". the action was a little slow. we fished in 22 to 14 fow. we marked fish on the FL20 but they did not want to play too nice. most fish were caught on tip ups, but i did get two small perch on a jiggin rap and i had a slime dart break me off at the hole that's why i HATE those things. we also had to clean up some garbage in the parking area that some a-hole left behind.we had a bald eagle pay us a visit as well he hung around for a while then left. i just love that place.
