Deitz Dittrich Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Simmer down.. Not very often we get out before Thanks Giving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishinChad Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Probably not around here until december, but I have been thinking of driving north until I find 3-4 inches of ice just to get some early action and some slab panfish that can be found up north. Probably wont be able to do that for another couple weeks though, hopefully sooner if we get a cold blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cRaPpiEMaN8265 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I think my countdown is down to 26 days or so? Whatever the 22nd is when I plan to be on the ice somewhere somehow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynolds Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I made it out last year at the very beginning of December on a small lake down by Lakeville. The ice was only about one and half to two inches thick, but I was near shore, and the water was very shallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reynolds Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I believe the name was Crystal if my memory servers me correct. It is located on the East side of 35E just north of 42. I guess that's probably not considered Lakeville now that I think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterHaven Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I am just as anxious as everyone else but remember that it is not uncommon to get 60 degree temps up until the 3rd week of November. I hope it doesn't happen this year because I am like a little kid in a candy store waiting for ice fishing season to get here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it doesn't happen this year because I am like a little kid in a candy store waiting for ice fishing season to get here. We have had some very warm (45/50 degree) days deer hunting in the past few years. I am still hoping to have the portable out b4 Christmas and the wheelhouse on Red around New Years.

art321 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 December. At least in central MN. I'm sure we'll have some more 60+ degree days after tomorrow. And as Sparky said, "Hang on, we got deer season to attend too." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
