Kevin from Surfland said they finally have safe ice and that has inspired a lot of hibernating fishermen to come out of their caves to drill a hole or two. All species have been in play from pike and pickerel to perch and crappie to bass and trout. Many anglers have headed north into New Hampshire where good catches have been reported as well. As long as we keep getting this cold weather, we’ll continue to see good ice fishing.

Right around 1962, Ray Moulton of Surfland Bait & Tackle came up with the idea of photographing customers who came by with good fish. More than fifty years later, this tradition continues at Surfland and they’ve amassed quite a collection. Today, proud anglers can still get their fish on the wall for a couple of bucks and add themelves to the books. If your fish eclipses 50 pounds the guys at Surfland have a special place reserved on the wall which memorializes some 60 or so other sportsmen from the 60's through today.
