ice fishing chemong

Thanks for the update gornie! im planning a trip next weekend with a buddy of mine to try the south end of chemong. hoping to get out and get a mess of gills.

Chemong, right by the boat launch at the causeway. Taken this morning, didn't walk out on it.

Looks good. Would t venture far unless I planned on swimming back and was prepared for that.

Wanna try chemong for first time, planning to go there this week. Is there any crappie there?

yes there are crappie

Was out today had to cut it short after 2 hours tho got some crappie and perch

Anybody know what the ice conditions are like south end of Chemong near Fifes Bay area?

I was down by Fifes yesterday evening, there were 5 portable huts out. I did some spudding and found anywhere from 5-6 inches in every hole. I went on from the end of Clonakilty line.

Thanks!

Anyone been out onto the water off the boat launch at Rotary Park? Was talking to bridgenorth spot and marine this morning and they said they haven't seen anyone out yet.
If anyone knows thickness that would be great, I want to venture out but don't have a spud bar

You can have mine.

I would take you up on that if you are serious about it.

I'm serious. I made it myself out of a tie rod from a 4x4 truck but it works. Good around the house too for prying anything heavy and the likes.

I can make another one.

Ya I had about 6" of ice today South of the causeway. The bass were crazy hungry today!

I am planning to be there tomorrow morning, anyone wants to join me?
If needed I can cut some holes with the gas auger for the companion
