Extended forecast still looks pretty good.

Let's hope the ice is going to come and stay.

Can't wait to get out.

Got the gear ready once again, keeping my fingers crossed for Tuesday. If the winds would die down it would make ice all day. If nothing else the protected areas should be good by then. 3 to 4" is all I need, I'll send Dave out first, if he doesn't go through I'll feel pretty safe.

I think the same thing, by Tuesday should hit some protected areas.  Maybe some small ponds by Monday....maybe.

Just tie a good long rope on Dave!! We don't want to lose anyone!! I can't get out til next weekend, hope to  fish somewhere then!! Good luck!!! Hope this lasts for awhile!! We're overdue!!

They send me out first each year?

 Doesn't that mean i should be able to fish there holes?

Seems like a fare trade!

[HardWater Junkie]

You may have a point. The person who goes out first does deserves something. Cant take all the risk without reward. But hole stealing is a felony in at least 17 states. Its a tough call on this one.

i'll be glad to follow you around dave & fish your holes. that way i am guarenteed to catch at least 1 fish. lol

Just looked at the 10 day forecast. Starting from today(Sat.): 25,34,42,53,26,35,43,45,50, and 44 Checked some ponds and the wind's  kept them from skimming over This really stinks!!

Yes it is no looking good at all...! The wind really kept things from firming up. CJ is ice free and lake Erie from the Toledo cam does not even look close yet. I am not sure it's going to happen this year  Be very careful... I hear some guys are going out Monday. A fish is not worth your life...!
