Orange Lake, N.Y. ice fishing

[senkosam]

A buddy went out recently and caught a bunch of yellow perch through 3.5 - 4" of ice. (too thin for my liking!) He got off when he noticed a crack starting and water coming up. He must have been in a huge school. Not sure I want to brave the cold and wind. Maybe once cabin fever gets too much.

Never did much ice fishing, but knew to stay off the ponds until 6 or so.
