Just got back from Plymouth. Little Pond still had quite a bit of ice, wasn't fishable. Went down the road to Little South and it was even more iced in! Continued south to Long Pond and found the ramp area and the shore area wide open. Cut through Myles Standish on the way home and found all the ponds to be locked in. Thought there would be a lot more open water around that area. Freakin waste of gas! 
Sorry man but I checked Jp pond and Brookline reservoir and the Charles river and even that was still frozen!
I'd wait till Tuesday or wensday to go even though it will be a little colder....
Yeah, I have been watching the Charles River webcams waiting for the ice to break. Not there yet.

That stinks should of sent me a message. Could of saved the time and money.
I actually caught a nice rainbow trout at Jamaica pond last night (Monday the thirteenth) in a shallow part of the pond that was only about ten ft deep. I could only cast out like twenty feet because that is where the ice met the water. It was like six thirty pm and very dark. I used gulp garlic dough bait to cover a single salmon egg. Great fun on light tackle! The fish was about sixteen inches and we'll over one pound.
Which parts of the Charles are you guys scouting? Down in the Allston/Brighton/Cambridge area it's flowing pretty good, lots of open water (I drive along it everyday to and from work) as of this afternoon. Supposed to be in the upper 40s tomorrow, I'm gonna give it a shot. There's also a decent spot near the Newton/Watertown line with a rather large waterfall into some deep water that rarely freezes over, I've caught some decent smallies there in the summer, just not a lot of shore access.
