Good morning, - I hope all the ice dogs had a great thanksgiving! Now that the bird has been cooked & eaten it’s time to scrap the count & start dancing for that ice! It could literally happen any day in the right places.

Those who are looking to scratch their first ice itch should start monitoring their choice 1st ice locations now! The best education in 1st ice formation comes from watching it grow knowing what freezes first and stays frozen is is incredibly valuable.
Most of these bays don’t freeze evenly to start out with but when you’ve watched the ice grow you know exactly where to be a walking and spudding & even more importantly where not to be.
It’s a nice cold ish morning here in brimtucky snow is ah’ falling that nasty cold wind is howling I’m all fired up I love it!
It’s gonna be an epic season with plenty of fish porn!
John-you are definitely having ice withdrawals! Hang in there, it won’t be long now-5-6 weeks? By the way, what kind of tracks are those on the ice? Could they be a baby Bigfoot? Was that pic taken down by Salt Fork (home of the legendary sloth)
Chilly Chilly[emoji3063]. - I like it. I like it ALOT
The low spot in my back yard has a little standing water that’s frozen it didn’t thaw out yesterday. I might just have to go spud it today! [emoji2957].
SOON we shall be vertically plucking crappies, gills, perches, ditch pickles, shell crackers & walleyes! [emoji322]
Weather forecast is looking pretty good. Water temps are falling. Don't think we'll be drilling before Dec. 15th., but most likely by Christmas if this weather pattern continues.

There’s 3” maybe a little more at my house. [emoji16].
I probably should have left for deer camp yesterday like I originally planned (sigh) family obligations kept home an extra day Lol . It’s alright though I’ll be south bound in 3 hrs I’ll be interested to see how long the reach of the snow extends.
Dave...same message...hunting solo myself until the weekend once my kid doesn't have school to worry about...I didn't go to school to cook, but I'm pretty sure my grub won't kill you.
So what do you guys do with your second rod while ice fishing for panfish? I have tried to use a jaw jacker, I have used a second rod in a hole really close with another presentation so I can see both on my helix 7. Then one day last year saw a guy with a minnow on a slip bobber a few feet away where he did not really pay attention to it unless his bobber was under but over the course of a few hours he had about double the perch I had and I felt like almost half came from his second rod. That’s far better than I have ever done on my second rod, so I was just seeing what most of you guys that get out way more than I do go about using the second rod or do you just fish 1?
I am 100% one hole a slip bobber. Jig one rod and leave the bobber. It’s great. Hard to beat seeing that bobber slowly go down the ice hole
