Dave at
Ocean State Tackle in Providence, says the nearby ponds have 5 to 7 inches of ice, and the northwest corner has 8 to 10 inches. Crappie and pickerel have been the most common catches through the ice. Dave says the shop has medium and medium-heavy shiners, a variety of sled sizes, 3 power augers, and a good inventory of 6 and 8-inch hand augers.
