It’s been bitterly cold, huge portions of Boston Harbor are frozen over, but the hardcore ice anglers among us have kept up the fight. And we’ve seen some cool catches as a result, those include a Boston-area striped bass, a 31-inch walleye and the bowfin pictured above. With no temperature relief in sight, it looks like another frigid weekend and there’s no doubt that we’ll be making more ice. We also got some not-so-great news coming out of the Hudson River regarding striped bass, we have a lot to cover in this week’s report, so don’t miss it.
