Big pick up in activity in Meredith Bay today. A few more bob houses. Many groups on foot well out into the bay. See my other post under Feb05 (sic) Ice Conditions. Heading up Thursday A.M. for the hike out to Mink and a few days of peace and quiet and Ice Fishing! Guess I won't see to many trucks and cars this year....

On their morning report, Channel 9 (WMUR-TV Manchester) is reporting that the Derby is an official go for this weekend!

Good luck to all you fishermen out there.....and be safe!

Given the next two days wx forecast (with today's spring like temps) I know I am hoping this weekend's fishing crew (and spectators) pays close attention to the advice in RG's link.

The ice is already the weirdest I can remember it, not just on Winni but over on Ossipee and a lot of other spots in the region. Its supposed to be warm again tomorrow and part of Friday with a severe cold front (and high winds) preceded by a period of rain.

Not much else the Fish & Game guys can do now, though....if they were given any more press, I think the media would start charging them advertising rates! Channel 9 just ran the thin ice warnings once again, I almost have their spiel memorized !!!

I won't be fishing this weekend, but I will be glued to my radios.....hopefully I'll have a dull weekend of listening!

Skip that's a good idea- it's better for a guy your size to STAY OFF THE THIN ICE.

Aren't you on the wrong thread Andy.....don't you have a restaurant you need to plug????? Perhaps you can give us an update on the Back Bay ice conditions while you're at it....
