Don't be foolish just yet!!! It has only been cold for 2.5 days. Why rush it and end up swimming? Be patient and see what the weather brings in the next few days.
i was at the new state park at plx a minute ago. and down by the dog park i was walking my dogs near the water across from the boat ramp. checked the ice.......maybe an eighth of an inch thick, its gonna be awhile
I drove around and checked Wingfoot, Mogadore, Berlin, Deer Creek and Walborn. Wingfoot and Mogadore are starting to form decent ice in spots. Everything else is struggling to lock up.
My two ponds started to freeze today some open water, I not a hard water guy so dose not matter to me but hope you guys that are get some when I am in S.C. for 3 months.
I've never really been much of an ice fishing person, but I really hope you guys get a good long safe ice season this year. I know it's been a while. I'm being a bit selfish in my hopes as well, as I think a nice hard and long hard water season would do a lot to knock down the incredible amount of bait I was marking this fall.
Hard to believe a fully experienced icer like Kit went out Sunday SOLO. It's difficukt for me to truly imagine him doing so. Now I'm starting to wonder if he has more guts than brain cells.
NOPE... I'LL ATLEAST WAIT FOR A BUDDY OR NOT GO AT ALL. KIT IS ONE LUCKY FELLA.
If you're going to test the ice it looks like this morning is The Only Day. 10 day weather forecast doesn't look good. I'm gonna search for a little wind-protected bay & hopefully drill some holes. Won't be going solo or without my safety gear.
I found a small public lake up north near my work I'm going to try at lunch and after work today. I have all my gear (including safety gear) with me. Hope everyone venturing out today stays safe and dry.
It's 5:30am & I'm itching to hit the ice for a 2nd day in a row...but I don't think it's gonna happen. Too much rain & above freezing temps ruined what little we had. Bummer for all of us.
