It's almost a family tradition to go icefishing for the first time of the year after the thanksgiving meal. I don't see why you couldn't haul out a portable and do some stickin'.

I went out last year after Thanksgiving.

I never made it out past 3 ft of water since that is all the more I was willing to get wet. lol

I never saw a thing (surprise) but it was good to get the house and all the decoys in order and even to just to spin a few decoys made it worthwhile.

When my brother in law and I got out of the house there was about 2 inches of water around the house.... it was time to go.

I don't think it would be impossible to actually spear on Thanksgiving up north though.

i GO up north the first part of spearing season, and i tell ya what its been a loooooong time since we had more that 6" of ice on the first weekend of dec. last year first time out was the second weekend of dec we had about 8" but a 15" snow storm took care of that till mid jan.

Hey if you are like me you have nothing to worry about.

Just remember... Fat Floats. lol

Spectacle Lake near Cambridge MN Thanksgiving 2008

I started spearing the 23rd of November and the first fish of the 2008 season was on the 25th. I was spearing near Zimmerman and I wasnt way up nord either. so yes it can happen and with the cooler than normal summer you just never know

[glenn57]
