We have ice forming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: Nov 27, 2010, 04:53 PM »
I drove by chinese gardens today and seen skim ice all the way out to the main channel.  The channel out here at  my house has some skim ice on it too.  We are moving in the right direction!!! ;D

Down to 22 tonight and I don't think it got above freezing out there today.....there might be some brave soul that tries it out on chinese gardens in the morning!!!  The shallow stuff seems to be getting ice, but still nothing on the ponds near me.

So do u think the northern birds are going to fly right by? How many parties today? Are they killing 100+ a day yet? Been a few times last week and did okay, but there wasn't a ton a birds...
I wish I was good at ice fishing!

The same thing seams to happen every year. I dont see this being any different. We will get a freeze. Than when the birds decide to fly they go right past. The slough is killing more birds than kank this year. Low water is BAD.
