It opens up on most waters in this area in 10 days and I can't find a single spot without 12-20" of ice on it! Anyone know of any open waters for any fishing really bass/trout/panfish idc as long as I have room big enough to drop some bait in. Also want to do some practice casting on my new rod/reel before hitting tournaments this year. At this rate I won't be able to practice at all. I've driven all over from 13317 to 12134 zip codes and everywhere in between. I'm willing to drive about 60-90 minutes from Canajoharie NY (13317). I'd prefer a productive fishing spot but honestly I just wan't to do some practice fishing tye on some new lures I've gotten over the winter and see what I can do or if they needed to be adjusted etc.

 

Thanks in advance.

Some of our Great Lakes tribs have opened up.

Haha my wife laughed at me when she read that.... So I'm not thinking she's down for that day trip. But if we don't have any open waters by the 10th I may have to do it.

All the water around here is still solid. Even the river looks like you could drive a truck on it still.
