Comment by John Sheehan on November 16, 2014 at 8:11pm: Howard how cold is the water up there ? 46 degrees by an inflow pipe down here .Hoping for a good season of ice fishing exploits to come.

Comment by John Sheehan on April 2, 2012 at 6:55am: Hey Guys how about some reports?

Gills are in the shallows but only hitting light jigs tipped with worms or Mealies .Any thing heavier than 32nd oz is getting almost no attention .64th oz. jigs on 2#test catch the most but I haven't gone lighter than that .The slow fall they'll rise to but they are heating up slowly .Wont be long now here in NE New Jersey before Gills become very active on a variety of baits .

Comment by John Sheehan on September 22, 2011 at 8:21am: Lots of gills coming off wood cover and floating docks(anchored off shore)deeper shorelines are target areas.32nd oz. feather ,marabou or Bucktail Jigs tipped with crawler pieces or Twister tails are really banging them consistently.

Comment by John Sheehan on April 29, 2011 at 6:02am: Hang tough Howard ! 16th oz Beetle spin is taking it to Bass,Gills White and Yellow Perch down here.

Comment by Howard Webster on April 27, 2011 at 5:41pm: well we finally warmed up and the water temps warmed enough to start catching some fish and now we have had a flood Not sure between work and weather when i will get to fish again but I am glad to hear things are working else where John

Comment by John Sheehan on April 27, 2011 at 6:36am: Gills are getting more active with the heat wave (in the 80's yesterday! in NJ ) A few gills chased down a swimming jig/twister combo.They are in higher gear for sure.

Comment by John Sheehan on February 5, 2011 at 4:21pm: Rain down here Harold .Making things messy and wont be going this week I believe.

Comment by Howard Webster on February 5, 2011 at 4:02pm: if we keep getting snow here we will be about done it is getting tough to walk out there

Comment by John Sheehan on February 4, 2011 at 8:15am: Mid ice is tough for catching fish .Got five fish last time out 5 days ago; 1Pickerel,1Crappie, 2 Gills ,1YPerch. Not the numbers of Gills and Perch like usual. Gonna have to fish deeper than the normal 10-15' I think.
