Title: fourth ice?
Post by: slabslayer on February 07, 2013, 06:21:39 PM
Just wondering what everyone thinks? Will we fish again this season, or is it over till next winter? I'm holding out for fourth ice, but if we don't get it, this year was way better than last year!! ;D

I hate to say it but I believe it's over for the year. It was better for me also 8 times, plus the times off the docks.

Got to go out of state. We ended up catching great fish. Wished we had ice here. If we get warm weather that will kill the ice, then warm it up all the way and lets start catching fish from the boat.

I had only 5 days on the ice this year. Did a lot better this year than last since there were 0 days on the ice.
I hate to be a negative nelly, but I think this is the end of this season.

If today's rains (Friday 2/8) refreezes, we could have another ice spell. I only got out once, but it sure felt great. Keep your fingers crossed.

;D. The little rain we got today melted the snow on the ice and is now freezing , so third ice is still here . If we don't get rain during this next warm up we're back in the hunt. So don't give up as of yet . It isn't spring yet . ;D ;D ;D

I have to believe we will be back on the ice before spring. After all my new vex just arrived today. Was itching to use it so bad I drilled a few holes by the dock and tried it for about an hour. I think the vex used with my aqua vue scout will be a deadly combination.let's hope it doesn't get to warm or rain to much on sun/Mon. On a side note I went to CEI today to catch some steelies and to my dismay the entire area was covered in shove ice. Ice to thin to fish on and to thick to fish through. Just my luck.

All hope is not lost, we didn't get the rain like they were saying. The ice may last a little longer than we thought!!
