Yup, pretty much all the smaller bodies of water up in the Poconos have enough ice to fish right now. Guys have been fishing wallenpaupack for a couple of weeks now also out of sterling marina. I'll wait until our local lakes freeze up. That's too much of a drive to poke 6 inch holes in lakes I don't know anything about. But it's there for the taking if you chose to take the drive.

I am waiting patiently for local ice! Gear is ready, bait is ready, new Marcum is ready. Shouldn't be long if these cold temps continue and the ice survives next week's warm spell.
