hows the parking at sunset and how big is it

I don't believe any of the derby's are before Jan 16th at Winny but I will double check on that when I can. They are normally in February. After the Derby's the lake can shut down for a week or so for sure. The Pond being so shallow and the first to freeze will also be a good thing if we are going to stick to that date because if you have seen the long term forecast it doesn't look good for the ice. The temps are suppose to be in the 50's for friday and saturday....urrrgggg. As far as running to flags all day, some day there I have, other days have been slower....that's fishing.

Pete is around 75 to 100 acres plenty big enough for a good sized crew. There is also plenty of parking as it borders the high school and the town swimming beach. It freezes fairly quick, probably close to safe now if not already.

Im in wherever it is...youze guys pick the place

Pete and All,
I'm hosting an ice fishing tourney on January 23rd in Haverhill. It is at Chadwick Pond and will be based out of the Haverhill Hound Rod and Gun Club. Entry fee is $10, prizes will be $200, $100 and $50. If people are interested from this forum, I may make it interesting and get some tagged trout and have an additional category for the largest tagged trout.

Hiya Cando........
No clue where this pond is at, but I am in for sure...can you email me directions or post em up? Did I see right, shinners are available there?
Thnx,
Chris-RE

Yes. Bait will be available at the club house. I'll put the details together and send out tonight. I'm off to my treestand now. Hoping to get one more deer before season is over.

Chuck - is that you? Bout time you got your ass on S-B...

Everyone - please give a nice little welcome to Capt Chuck Cassella. He is a former MSBA President, attends countless fisheries meetings, official (former official?) protector for the much maligned Tailus Waggerus Skate, a Boston Harbor Charter Captain, and generally a good egg :laughs:

Oh yeh, and I did his website a year and a half ago:

I am in. Have that weekend off. Was on the ponds the last two days. There is only 3-4 inches and this weekend is supposed to be warm.

ice fishing outing
 

The info for the ice derby is at www.hhrg.com.

HERE'S ONE POSSIBLE SET OF DIRECTIONS.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD/CHANGE IF IT WILL HELP SIMPLIFY.

ACCORDING TO “MAPQUEST” CHADWICK POND IS LOCATED OFF EXIT 48 FROM RTE 495.
AT THE END OF THE OFFRAMP TAKE A LEFT ONTO MAIN ST,
TAKE YOUR 1ST RIGHT ONTO BOSTON ROAD.
TAKE YOUR 2NR LEFT (APPEARS TO BE A FORK IN ROAD) ONTO WILLOW AVE.
THE 1ST MAJOR INTERSECTION YOU COME TO IS KINGSBURY AVE.
TAKE A LEFT HERE AND THE POND IS A FEW HUNDRED FEET ON THE LEFT.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE PARKING WILL BE LIKE, BUT GETTING THERE SHOULDN’T BE TOO DIFFICULT

NOW, LET'S ALL PRAY FOR SAFE ICE.

The ice doesn't look good. It is supposed to be rainy and high 40's all next week.
