(Sorry, I just couldnt resist. But the same thing happened last year, I got to fish twice, then it warmed up for a month. NOT gonna happen this year!!)

Well, after three days with the high below freezing, we have about 1.5" of ice on my local lake. And with temps forecast to stay below freezing for the next week, it looks like I can be on ice by the middle of next week. Perch and pike, perch and pike, perch and pike, perch and pike!!

I will post as soon as it happens!!

It won't be long now! Ice on the bay edges on S. Turtle this morning!!!

[Dennis Steele]

I know I saw skim ice in the shallow bays and small ponds near my home just south of the cities.It won't be long now.

I know I saw thin ice all almost all the area lakes and sloughs in the Spicer area. I think only lake that didnt have ice on it was Green Lake. On Nest lake one of the bays had a 1/4 inch of ice on it and most of didnt melt today! Not long at all, until ice.

Fish ON!

The small bays on Vermilion are starting to freeze over! I don't know how much ice yet, but it has a lot of snow in it from the last storm.
9 degrees in the morning predicted for Sat.!
It's going to be COLD on the deer stand!
Think ICE!!

Well, sorry about taking so long to post,, had to go out of town suddenly.

There was 3" of ice, went out and drilled a couple holes. Wasnt real keen on going out too far so I only fished for about 20 minutes, no bites!

But, I went ice fishing on Nov 3rd, 3 days earlier than last year.
