We were going to fish south of rt. 20 (this is where I heard there were pike on the good breaks).

I took a better look at the south side of Champeaux and it looked just as good.

I'll post some screenshots of the topo map tomorrow when I'm at work. I can't believe we haven't fished this side in the past. Although, the first year Mr. Haney pulled a 6# fish out at first bells.

The ice was marginal yesterday in Sturbridge. I went out but not too far, 3 inches of mostly white ice. Im sure its fine today, its 8 degrees out right now and it looks like it gunna be a long ice fishing season this year,

Everything is better on the rocks.

Pretty cold today. And tomorrow is expected to be colder. A good sign. ;-)

A local Derby the same day...

Take a look...There may be some people on the ice with us as the fish can come from anywhere in the Central Wildlife District.

I'm sure we'll be fine. Just get there at 5 AM like me. Lotsa parking at Champeaux.

Craig, you gonna make it, or are you working?

Hi Rick,
I'm planning on being there. I don't expect to have to travel for business at this time. I'll bring a bottle of Russian Standard Platinum for the community beverage table.

Ice is thick enough to support ATVs in my neck of the woods.

No boat, back in the suds.

Yeah,
We'll be set as long as there's no snow between the warm and cold to freeze up what's there now.
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Is there a safe way to cross that street and get access to the pond on that side with the fast moving water and thin ice?

Yeah, we should be fine by the time the tourney hits.

Stick to the shoreline on the western side and then move towards the middle as the lake opens up more.

Just looked at accuweather. Looks like we're going to have non-stop freezing temps from next Wednesday on.

We should have more than plenty safe ice.
