Outfitter17 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I would guess on LOW, it will be the 1st week of Dec. also. The water temps are quite lower than last year at this time and I am expecting a cooler fall, being that the summer was so cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP180 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Last year in ND i was on the lakes here the week after thanksgiving. It feels like the nights are really cooling off now. Maybe the last weekend in Nov the bays will be frozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwhjr Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Dec 7th was my first day on the ice last year as well. I think the last 3 or 4 yrs it's been the first weekend in Dec. It won't be long now, but I still need to get out on the open water some more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

only ice Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hope the ice is good enough to cross Pine Island by the 12th. First trip then. Some years we drive 1/2 ton trucks, and some wheelers, and a few we just walked out from Wheelers point and had to fish the bay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtking Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Wow - I had to move a picture out of the way to see that portion of the calendar - I am thinking the weekend of Nov 29th for 2 to 3" of fishable ice in a small bay on a smaller lake in South Central Minnesota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hopefully the second week of Dec. I still have a lot of fall fishing and hunting to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake River King Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I think this year will be different I think there will be ice on LOW on Nov 15 and around the east central area Nov 18 because winter held on so long last year and its been cool this summer and I see in canada there already having lows in the mid 30's just my perdiction but i dont care I cant wait for fall walleyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
