How many fellow Wisconsinites are getting the itch to go ice fishing like I am? I don't know if it was from firing up the auger, charging the flasher batterys, or what. All I know is I'm ready for ice.

I've always got the itch to fish, but always have summer projects and not enough time. I think a good start would be for me to finish the wood pile before the cold comes. Everyday I walk by my auger and think about firing it up... I might just do it this weekend...

Saw morning temps of 34 and 36 this past week definitely gave me the itch.

I checked my phone again this am....57° up there this am. Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa.

I'll get you guys water temps after this weekend, but I have a feeling we're hoovering around upper 60's-low 70's.

GOT THE ITCH .....full on Hives/Rash ...the cooler weather has made the anticipation even tougher

52isntbigenough · « **Reply #6 on:** Aug 25, 2014, 09:33 AM »

Well fellow itchers, I wish I could report better temps, but we're at 71-73 yet up here in Land O Lakes. Saving grace? Sugar Maples are beginning to turn.

I heard its pretty warm back at home. Im currently working in Montana. Saturday was high of 56 n they were calling for 3-5" of snow in the high rockies. Was getting excited. It was pretty disappointing when i called my wife and she said it was HOT outside in northern Wisconsin.

52isntbigenough · « **Reply #8 on:** Aug 25, 2014, 09:57 PM »

85 degrees when we left Land O Lakes

Every time I walk into the Garage I stare at the auger and portable shack sitting on the wall. My wife yells at me when I talk about ice fishing already.......

I spend 2 hours out in my garage putting my tracks back on the ATV last weekend. When Mrs 52 came out and asked **censored** I was doing, I said I wanted to put them back on for ice fishing. "You expecting a turn in the weather I didn't know about??"

She gets my drive, but doesn't quite get the passion.

52isntbigenough · « **Reply #11 on:** Aug 28, 2014, 10:14 AM »

btw, 39° for a morning temp up north.

It was 33 this morning when I woke up. Coldest I've seen yet.

52isntbigenough · « **Reply #22 on:** Sep 16, 2014, 10:10 AM »

At 6am, it was 29° in Land O Lakes....it's been below freezing every morning since Saturday.

Had the itch since mid august been doing mods to the permy to keep me on the right ice fishing track.

52isntbigenough · « **Reply #24 on:** Sep 20, 2014, 05:02 PM »

Fall is in full swing in ne wis. Water temps by me are hoovering around 58.

52isntbigenough · « **Reply #25 on:** Oct 06, 2014, 10:43 AM »

My buddies and I fished a musky tourny in St. Germain over the weekend. We fished by me on Palmer in Land O Lakes on Thursday and saw water temps about 58-59. By Sunday the water temps on Big St were 54ish and the lake was beginning to turn over. We had rain, sleet, snow mix all weekend and it was probably the worst weather I've Musky fished in.

Did you do any good 52?

52isntbigenough · « **Reply #27 on:** Oct 07, 2014, 08:59 AM »

I raised 3 and that was it. Out of 27 boats on Big St., 1 fish was caught.

PRICE COUNTY STRIKE ZONE · « **Reply #28 on:** Oct 07, 2014, 09:20 PM »

Wow. Guess the bite was pretty slow especially for big st ger. At least you had a little action.

52isntbigenough · « **Reply #29 on:** Oct 28, 2014, 11:57 AM »

I'm digging these overnight lows upcoming.
