There must’ve been a lot more ice than I thought. Perhaps ~ But up here, without much or any snow on the lake ice, there's far less isulating going on. I'd expect some type of an early ice out. Oh My. A-Jay Quote
Dirtyeggroll Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Got some rain last night and wind today and the ice is gone! How many “ice outs” will we get this year? Haha Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted December 30, 2019 Global Moderator Posted December 30, 2019 Just got home, looked out the back window, and...... ICE OUT! I’m going fishing. Actually the wind is blowing 25-30 and we had a 20* temperature swing in the wrong direction so I’ll just look out the window from the warmth of my house. P.S. it’ll be froze again by this time tomorrow. 1 1 Quote

Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted January 3, 2020 Global Moderator Posted January 3, 2020 I’ll take it! The ice is gone on our lake around here. I’ve thought about getting the boat out, I won’t, but I think about it. 1 1 Quote

There is a water view from every room in the house. Dad will probably be there every weekend the rest of the year. There's a good amount of work to do. Starting next weekend, dad is an electrician then plumber. Once it gets warm, landscaper, pier repairman and who knows what else. His better half and her mother are doing the painting. He has about 40ft of frontage, a small pier, and a cement seawall. Borders a home on one side and the public beach on the other side. I'm giving him the 14ft Lund as a housewarming gift. I brought the little guy with me today along with wifey and momma and the first thing he wanted to do is go see the water. I've created a monster. 3 Quote

If you’ve created a monster like you think you’ll be ice fishing in a couple years whether you want to or not. Ask me how I know. Quote

The smallies, I'm sure, are out in deeper water. I did not- Best perch reports I have heard are in the slips but the jumbos are coming in- I do not fish them much since the lakefront is a bit of a drive for me and 3 kids (newest is 1 week old) keep me and my wife plenty busy while they cannot go outside too often. 1 Quote
