There are now parts of the shore at Jamaica pond that have open water and is about 40 to 50 feet out. Might not be the best scenario to go fishing but open water is open water and I caught a trout only about 15 feet out..
It will take three to four days for the ice to thaw out in extremely warm weather wich is like 45 degrees plus and even then the whole thing won't be open
