Recommended Posts

I thought I would put this up seeing how the weather changed here from last night.It was about 37*last night this morning I got up and we have 23* and 3 to 4 inches of snow on the ground and still snowing cool.gif.Lets hope this cold stays maybe with the snow on the ground we can start forming some good ice grin.gif.I don't know about you guys but I like to know the conditions around our areas.When we get good enough ice maybe we can plan a little get together some where so we can tell lies and such grin.gifwhat do you guys think?

B3b - Calling that place a "barn" is a crime. Didnt notice a fridge but if it had one i'd be happy living out there...

Cold here too. Dad shot a doe yesterday and we skinned it and let it hang till today - froze solid. We figured it would get stiff but not freeze!

If we didnt get this snow we would be on the ice today. Checked a lake yesterday where we were hunting. An inch of ice, and inch of slush, then another inch of ice. Might be on this weekend...

You forgot the mahogany, what size do you need to make handles? I'll set some of the nicer grained stuff aside as I bring some in for kindling..

It is 44* right now no rain yet wind is blowing like crazy mad.gif.The melting process is in progress lets hope the snow on top of the ice melts. The wind is going to be the problem now with these temps I have seen ice disapate real fast lets hope we don't get alot of rain and the temps drop off like they say.

I don't have to tell you be safe Todd,but... be safe checking it... Weather like this gives me the oppotunity to redo some of my rods so a little lull in the action to shape up the slush and slop was needed. I think will be ok with 3 nice cold days in a row.

I know some of you don't want to hear this but I'm glad for the warm weather, rain and wind. The couple of lakes I've fished had the worst ice I've ever been on and made me a little nervous on it. I also look ahead to the late ice season and with what crappy ice there is or was would have made for a very short late ice season. I was on BB Sunday evening and even though there is ice there was a couple of spots with soft white ice and maybe 1" of clear ice. Be safe guys.

The wind blew the ice off Oneida yesterday/sunday, the ice is still there in front of town though. There is a open spot from just east of Constantia all the way past my house in Bernhards bay. The ice around the islands is still there, so maybe in a week or 2 we will be out and about.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
