So I hate to be that guy because I know we're all in the same boat and there's no sense complaining about things you can't change, but this is gettin old. Last spring was pretty lousy and the weather wasn't half as bad as this year. I drove by Snipatuit pond last weekend and saw a tiny (but fishable) patch of open water where the water runs under the road and was so desperate I nearly drove home for a rod. Any open water in the area? I'm losing my marbles!! Ok I'm done.

LOL . They're still driving trucks on the ice up here. The Saco won't have ice out till May at this rate LOL. 17 degrees right now an the wind is still blowing. 3 ft of ice in the yard. Gonna be a late season.

it's goes against all my decisions and preferences
particularly since i've been there and done that
vowing never again but Southern Waters are looking
mighty good lately.... :hs: i feel your pain

I feel your pain, hang in there Dog,,, soooon

AHHH ist day of spring. a nice balmy 7 degrees this morning. The 1 open spot in the river froze back over. LOL Old Man Winter don't wanna give up yet.

Plenty of brown toilet trout at my house if u wanna stop by.......

Three weeks into March and we're still building ice on the ponds! I flew into New England on Monday - didn't see any open fresh water other than a few areas where rivers run into or out of a lake. Normally we have open water by now in most of southern New England.

The only open water up here is made with an auger or chainsaw.

No thanks, Mike. They don't fight worth a sh**.

I fished thru the ice 3 days this week. the fish are definitely more active with the warmer temps.... but we still have 12" of black, solid ice( with slush on top). and this is the (relatively) warm climes of southern/coastal Connecticut.
