We got ice
 

Well the red has frozen over enough to get onto so tommorrow me and the boys are gonna drop some lines in,anybody else have ice yet?

RE: We got ice
 

Damm not yet. Even our small ponds are still open. This morning was our first snow that stuck to the ground(1/2"). Snow will be gone by tomorrow as they are calling for warmer temps. Water temps. are not far from freezing but we will need a cold snap.

Just Waiting

RE: We got ice
 

I scurried across the river 2 weekends ago while whitetail hunting, I could hear the beaver dams flowing yet but i saw a deer cross in one area so thought the ice was strong enough for my carcass. Happy i made it across. lol As for the little lakes back home they are usually safe to walk out a ways however i have not been home to check things out. We have had unusually warm weather so things are probably a bit behind schedule. Today was fairly mild and what little snow we had melted. But by the time of my Christmas break on the 16th there should be plenty of ice to walk on, hopefully take the truck out closer to New years.

Things were starting to look good but this weekend is getting warm and there is more snow on the way. Doesn't mother nature realize by now that we need a few really cold weeks before it snows???

RE: We got ice
 

Its up to the 40's Monday and Tuesday so not even any ice forming on the lakes yet. But I cannot wait til it gets cold enough to freeze the lakes.:D

RE: We got ice

Nothing yet on northern Lake Champlain. Getting colder this week and I expect by the weekend to be at it for the season.

RE: We got ice
 

Getting colder and colder here. Got done to the low teens last night.

RE: We got ice
 

First day out on Northern Lake Champlain. We had 5" of good ice on a shallow bay and got about 30 pounds of sunnies in about 3 hours.

RE: We got ice
 

My local lake is still about 15% open. What ice there is, is much too thin to go on. Tonight should be cold enough to freeze the open water but then they are calling for a few warmer days. Not much chance of safe ice soon.

SH1T Happens

RE: We got ice
 

CanWoodsman the broad part of lake Champlain which is 120 miles long is open but the northern and southern bays (All sheltered and shallow) have all iced up providing an opportunity to fish for panfish.

RE: We got ice
 

Got out for the 1st time last night. It was great to be back out on the ice and the crappies were biting!

RE: We got ice
 

Know what you mean about good to back on the hard water. My first of the season was yesterday and today we have 10 below zero with 30mph winds so I am housebound. Didn't get any crappies but lots of sunnies. The calico usually start in a couple of weeks. I suspect we are fishing too shallow for them at the moment but that is where the ice is ok..

RE: We got ice
 

Not yet in northern NJ. Well... a little thin layer that ducks can walk on.

I am getting ready for ice fishing.
