A buddy and me got on the day after thanksgiving in 2013!  It was on a little channel on Adams Lake and then on to a private pond.  The ice was sketchy but held up.

As for this year, I'm hoping for mid December.
That's some tasty iced tea.

That's what you get for moving to FL!!!!  We will find them and let you know and then you can fly up for the weekend and catch em.  Just don't bring any of that FL heat up here with you.

I know! It's been exciting but I sure will miss ice fishing and all of the guys I have met from the shanty.

Wax- not sure if work will allow me to make it up this winter but I am sure in the future I will send you a PM or two asking about the conditions prior to jumping on a plane. I am guessing the perch and pike will be right where I left them... Hopefully.  ???

 I shot up to Wisconsin area to get on a few weeks early last year, might do it again this year .  I think  SW WI ice first week on Dec,   here I pick the 14th odf DEC  with a pucker factor...lol

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

We are officially in the "ice tease" season.  Cold enough at night to start thinking about ice but warm enough this weekend to be in shorts...

To top it off, I'm looking at a thread with guys already on the ice!  Check out the mountain range in the background.  Sublime...
