1st ice

[The Grebe]

I see that no one else posted it, so I guess I'll be the first......saw the first ice of the up comming season on Monday morning!

As a matter of fact I had to scrape it off the windshields of the trucks...won't be long now!

Talk about weird weather? Frost on the vehicle roofs and ice on the windshields on Monday and a chance at 95 degrees by the end of the week...Our Minnesota weather can sure throw some curves!

[Augusta]

Did I hear someone say "ice"?

[Dan Thiem]

Keep the dream alive Watishi!

[Ryan_V]

I like the way you think!!!! I'm looking forward to the fish house too, especially after looking at the forecast for the next week, I hate heat and humidity!!!!

[hugonian1]

Should I bring the extension?

[Matt Johnson]

I love it!

From one die hard ice angler to the next...

[LaZyDayZ]

It wont come soon enough!!

[toughguy]

I predict August 10th for 1st ice Maybe a week later for southern sections of the state

[so haaad]

I'm also a diehard for the hard water.

Last week I was shopping for a new SUV and before I even went for a test drive the first thing that I checked was to see if my portable fish house would fit in the back cargo area!

[Tyler Holm]

Ice me Ice man!

[Mr.Perch]

I need to move further north

[Jigginfireman]

Ice won't come soon enough down here in southern WI. Oh, well. I will just keep pluging away at building my ice rods until then. That helps keep my mind off of the hard water season..

[Phred52]

ICE!! Did I hear ICE??? Where??? I most identify with the characters in the movie "Ice Age". QUIT TEASING!!!!

[Captain B.R.K]

The only ice seen recently was in my mixed drink the other night You guys make me laugh- enjoy the open water season while we can!

[federline]

Yah, I'm with the Capt, I like ice in my drink this time of year! Next stop to call home in the next stage of life is not going to have hardwater season at all, so I'm enjoying ice while I have to... did I say that right? :-)

[walleyeaddict]

i WILL GET THE AUGER!!

[Gus]

This time of year isn't too bad but when the humidity starts rolling in... BRING BACK THE ICE!!!

You can only shed so much clothing before you get arrested!

I like to say, "It's easy to dress up for the cold, but there's only so much you can take off when it hot!"

Only 6-7 more months to go

[Eric Wettschreck]

I need ice, I need to drill holes in ice, I need to stare down the hole drilled in ice, I need to have a PBR while staring down the hole drilled in ice.

It's just plain too gosh darn hot out.

[hovermn]

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but there have been times when I've stared down the bloody hole for so long that long after I've packed up, I can still see the hole with my eyes closed. Kinda like what happens to TV's and computer monitors. The image gets burned in.

I actually miss it! lol

[tonyjor]

we should make mirrors that when set into our fishhouse walls at a 45 degree angle, we can see directly down the hole. Then we wouldn't have to stare "down" the hole, just at the wall I guess that's the "penny-pinchers" Aqua-Vu, lol. I call dibs on the patent

[hovermn]

I've thought about doing that more then once, especially as the snowpack gets thicker. It's either that or use bobbers with 12" long toppers! lol The mirror idea is probably best!

As ShawwnyB how many times I talked about installing mirrors. I think he got sick of me bringing it up, so you'll have to fight me for the patent! LMAO

[Mr.Seaguar]

First ice? I`m ready.

[icegrogg]

I was in a walkin FREZZZZER today,set at 0. Talk about flashback!!! Put a smile on my face,OUCH almost cracked my lip.should be on the pond by 11-24!!!!!!!
