We had Guy ice fishing with us on Thursday and Joey, Randy, and Jimmy hard water fishing with us on Saturday. It was Guy and Randy’s first time ice fishing and they both caught and released pickerels. Joey and Jimmy both landed these little water wolves too. For Guy’s trip, the weather was 50 degrees with no breeze, which was beautiful for January in the western Catskills. The conditions were vastly different for Jimmy, Randy, and Joey’s adventure. The temperature including windchill was roughly -10 F. The wind blew 30 plus mph all day long and the tip-up holes were freezing up about every 15 minutes. The Clam ice shelter with Mr. Heater kept us warm and out of the wind.

We provide first class service on the ice to all of our clients. For both guided trips, the grill sessions for lunch included some form of venison. Guy had venison bacon cheeseburgers. The other group had venison jalapeno bacon habanero cheeseburgers.   

A great time was had by all and we look forward to getting out on the ice with these anglers again!
