Hi Guys!
Use to live in East Hampton and went to Gardners quite often.
Yes! Fish the deep hole and sides next to the island -> That's where they'll be till ice out -> Then you can catch them right off the boat ramp from shore when they come in to feed early morning and at dusk

Ya go big or go home. I do not ice fish with bait any smaller than 4 inches or size large shiner for all species of fish. |

Ya know, the whole "bigger bait bigger fish" theory has me in a pickle.
I spend the extra bucks on the bigger shiners like the rest of monster seekers, and still manage to catch perch and pickerel that can barely get the shank of the hook in their mouths. letalone the whole shiner,
Then Ive caught big fish on the dink shiner that I happened to scoop and drop.
I get the impression that if you put a bait in front of a very cold lethargic fish, and he happens to be in the mood to eat, the fish will eat your bait. Granted... Im not talking about spikes or pinheads, but shiners in general.
Alas, next weekend, I will be buying the bigguns that sometimes tip a flag all by themselves in search of a wall hanger thru the ice, and will surely bring home some 10" perch for my efforts. |

Hi!
He is on Gardner!
Photo was taken looking south.
That's the island to the right side of the picture with the rock spit sticking out to the east.
He's standing north of the island blocking the view of the narrow channel to the east of the island. Also more to the east side of the deep hole.
That big red 2 story building to the left side of the picture is the local yacht club.
