🛻💨 ICE-ROAD UPDATE | 📍 UPDATED ROAD MAP: (CLICK HERE TO VIEW MAP)

❄️ THURSDAY MORNING UPDATE: January 22, 2026 ❄️

❄️ 📍 Access Status and Extreme Cold Warning.❄️

Good morning from Rocky Reef. We are gearing up for the weekend, but Mother Nature is bringing some serious danger with this upcoming cold snap.

🌡️ Brutal Temperatures Ahead:

• According to the forecast for Vineland, we are looking at wind chills potentially hitting -40°F this weekend. Because of these life-threatening temperatures, we have made the decision to keep all traffic closer to shore.

🚧 Access and Road Status

Current Limit: Open Areas: Rocky Reef, Sunken Island, The Humps, and Indian Point.

📏 Road Status Summary: The Mud (7, 8, and 9 Mile): Access is CLOSED beyond the Humps until after the weekend. Indian Point Bridge: After what feels like 50 days of wind, I need to reset the bridge. I’ll be working on that this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

• 🛡️ Safety and Your Reservations: We understand that -40° is no joke. We do not want anyone to feel obligated to come up in these dangerous conditions. * If you have a rental house or facility reservation and would like to cancel or reschedule due to the cold, please contact Patty at the resort. * Patty will happily take care of that for you, and we will not charge you for choosing to stay safe at home or move your dates. Your safety is worth more to us than a booking!
• 🎣 The Bite: The small fish bite remains good near shore! Some guys are finding Perch in the deeper water on Rocky, and we've seen a few Tulibees and keepers heading home.
• If you have immediate questions or concerns, please contact us directly at the resort.

🛑 A Note on Safety, Rules & Reminders

With the changing weather, wind, and ice pressure, things can move quickly. Fast driving makes the ice unpredictable. We cannot stress this enough: Please keep your speed to 5 MPH. This helps prevent the pressure that causes these cracks in the first place.

• Speed Limit: Please keep it to 5 MPH at all times to protect the ice.

💥 Road Passes

• Stop in at the bar to grab your pass! The girls inside will get you set up and pointed in the right direction for the best bite.

🛣️ Indian Point Access: If you are looking to fish the North side of Indian Spine, you are good to go, but please be aware: you will have to cross one of our bridges. * Beyond that, the roads are looking great with no other issues to report!

📏 Road Status Summary: If you are looking to fish the North side of Indian Spine, you are good to go, but please be aware: you will have to cross one of our bridges. * Beyond that, the roads are looking great with no other issues to report!
