Will we be ice fishing a week from today??

[toughguy]

I drove out on the ice Saturday. We'll be lucky to have anything but mush by next weekend. I'll miss the ice. To next December old pal.

[OTBASSER]

i will be ice fishin till the 2x12 aint long enough to reach the ice. so yes i will be fishing a week from ta de

that goes third for me!

[OTBASSER]

Waders work to get to good ice also. Never like walking on wet wood.

a ladder works good instead of a board

[maros91]

We will be ice fishing for awhile yet. Temps will be back to the high 30's to low 40's by Friday with lows in the teens. Don't let a week of warm weather discourage you from going out.

[GrumpyOldCrappie]

When the shore starts to go out, I put a section or two of my dock out to the ice and drop some planks down to get out.

Works good for me.

Ice still looked good yesterday up here. Probably a week or so left and the Crappies are on the bite!!!

[OTBASSER]

yeah, I will probably be ice fishing for another 3 weeks or so.

I live south of madison wisconsin and i was out yesterday, ice was soft around the edges but still good enough for a couple days even with 50 degree weather, This is how i tell. If the auger hand cuts through with no ice chips ( the kind you cold put in a drink) you have a few days left that is where we are at. You sould in central minnesota have ice for at least 1 1/2 weeks anyway,North of metro you never know you could fish till easter but you never know, you just have to be safe and pick the deeper lakes. Also this is the time when anyone can catch fish. Look for community spots from first ice they will be there again.

i went out on lake john (near annandale 30 south of st.cloud) and I have am hand auger and I could tel the ice was soft I am driving out today but after that i won't be.

[S.D. Ice Angular]

I am still driving most places around Alex.

[Jack The Ripped]

Are they driving on Le Homme Dieu???

[OTBASSER]

I think I am done driving out with the pickup for this year..unexpected things can happen when water on top of the ice is running in through holes and cracks. Time to stick to just the atv. Although I am not ready for the ice to be gone this warm weather sure makes me want to be shallow water crappie fishing in the boat!

[carpmanjake]

Are they driving on Le Homme Dieu???

a few people have been near rodery beach. but other than me on government point thats the only area people are fishing

[Northlander]

I will be fishin. Lots of water on the ice now. As long as we dont get snow to slush it up we will have ice for a few weeks at least.

[eyebjim]

I'm done with ice. I pulled the boat out and will be getting her ready to go to the river for walleyes in a week or two. Can't wait.

[Bottle Fish]

Pretty sure I'm done as well for the season. After a day like we are having today I really want to get the boat on some open water. Melt baby melt!!!!!

[shizzy]

My brain has switch to open water.

[OTBASSER]

I love this late ice...it gives a guy great evening scenes like this.......

[GrumpyOldCrappie]

I know what you mean OTBasser. I love fishing while the sun is setting across the lake!

[metrojoe]

It would be nice to get out one last time.

This is very unusual to be driving out on the ice this late in March (at least in the metro area)

[mrfish1991]

im done, waiting for the soft water now...

early season crappie searchin now

[gusdawgg01]

Fishing isnt over yet! Believe or not there are lakes still be drivin on. Two days ago I drove out on a lake, looking for crappies and sunnies. Couldnt find them so went to deeper water, picked up 11 perch all in the 12 inch range. Picked up this bonus c&r

25 inches catching perch all afternoon then SLAM. What a blast ON the noodlepole and 2 lbs line. Didnt do so good on the crappies and sunnies tho, but thats ok, that eye made up fot it...

[Cast A Way]

Still plenty of ice up in North Minn. Out on Leech today, lots of people driving all over. Hope to be there next weekend yet before going to the Muskie Expo on the 4th of April. Cast A Way

[Jim Cramer]

Yes, I will be headed up to Red lake next weekend.

[Ed Carlson]
