chemong ice, 2019/2020

anyone been out on south ed yet was there yesterday to check ice and there was 6 inches of black ice...

Not sure where you measured 6", most of the lake just froze this week, so there wont be 6" of ice yet. It was open water less than 7 days ago. Maybe the most southern portion where its shallow.

I havent seen anyone out there yet, probably for good reason.

Out on South end right now with 6 " of ice and 8 fow

Are you south of the islands or just south of the causeway

All his 6 lb bass are really 1 pounders.

More like half pound

Where's the fish??

Lots of perch no crappies tho

I wouldn't make false claims about ice to try and get someone to spill the beans on if whether its safe or not. Check with photo proof or else you might give someone the wrong impression

Thanks for the update pigeon lake angler. We're all responsible for our own safety out there but it sure is nice to get reports from people doing the legwork as opposed to the guys reporting from their couches.

thank you no ice is safe ice but i feel comfortable walking out on 6 inches i will be out tonight and take pictures for those who need photo proof....

everyone enjoy hard water season

the ice i'm on is by the islands on the south end

I checked Chemong today, I got 2" of ice, spud bar goes through on 3 hits.

I dunno where theres 6", but please guys if your going out there don't rely on 6" of ice at this time of year. Just be safe if you do go out there, don't need someone going through because they think they're on plenty of ice.

picture added to show 2"

where on chemong did you check the ice

That is south of the causeway. Theres a massive pressure crack down the middle as well.
