Low temperatures in the single digits in these last few days of January, with all eyes on the weather forecast and another potential snow event perhaps hitting on Sunday. According to the Weather Channel, an East Coast storm this weekend is expected to intensify into a bomb cyclone or “bombogenesis” defined by a pressure drop of at least 24 millibars over 24 hours. Suffice to say, ice conditions in our region are the best they’ve been in years, and in this week’s video fishing forecast we run you through some hardwater tips, including a look inside the February edition of The Fisherman. Yes, a few boats continue to sail for tautog, but we’ve also got a weekend lineup of fishing flea markets and sales events for those looking for hot deals in a warmer, indoor environment.
