It's pretty quiet on the fingers. Need a fishing report fix......how about it `stix, `frisco? You guys got the ba!!s to go downriggin'? The ground hog says an early spring.....why wait!

Today was the day, waited for Stinger and he was a no show so the bite will have to wait for another time. Maybe I need to start looking for another partner like Fishstix. I can rely on him not to wait for pefect conditions.

Gee Ray, for a minute there I thought `frisco would toss me overboard for a new fishing partner . Then I remembered that I'm the only guy that has ever been able to put up with him for more than one fishing trip. If you really have to go fishing with him then go ahead. Your not to old for a new life experience :shock: .

Actually he is a pretty nice guy.

Ray, just between you and me..,I had to say that so `frisco would take me fishing again . I'm trying not to have to tell everyone why I was a no show for Saturdays fishing trip because it would ruin `frisco's image and that's something that Chaos probably wouldn't be able to get over.

...folks are ice fishing in full force. Estimate 20 to 30 on the ice on Saturday, half that on Sunday. Must have been the wind and snow. I watched a group of four with binoculars, they were working their way back to shore. Funny; every 30 feet they would lay prone on the snow to rest, it was deep due to the drifting.

Thanks for that report, it's exactly the scene I imagined... getting exhausted walking all the way to the channel! I thought about going up there this weekend but the big snow made me lazy. What you describe is why I did something else!

Should have a report on the Taughannock launch for you guys later today. It's starting to get a little warmer out, this weekend doesn't look half bad all things considered.

Oh heck... I just tried to go fishing. Marina is frozen over. Bubbler on, open water near the bridge, the rest frozen except one small spot. Appears to be 1"+ over the bubbler spots, 2-3 elsewhere. Didn't bring any major tools to try to break it. May try again later maybe not.

Looks like we have at least one guy that's not going to sit around and wait for April. Thanks Hermit for the Boy Scout try. Your fishing report is a lot better than mine. The Finger Lakes threads are few and by the looks of it they are getting reread over and over again.

I can't help much either because `frisco (my ride) is on a cruise in the eastern Caribbean and won't be back till next week . The only ice he has to contend with this week is in his drinks . I planned a little wood working project at home to keep me occupied till he is back and then maybe we'll try and get the boat in the lake (after you break the ice in the launch area) .

Hope you get out, be safe, keep us posted......
