Can you feel that, there's something in the air. The mornings are cool with a crisp bite. The geese sure know it's coming and there nervous. Tied up a seasons supply of jigs and freshened up the blades on the auger. Can't wait for hard water season. Tight lines everybody and play safe.

Getting close.
Moving the pontoon boats off the floor of the store yesterday and unboxing all the new Marcum products last night and charge them up for the shelves. Time to think ice......

Was in Bass Pro yesterday and the fishn dept. is stocked with ice gear, tents set up augers on display they are ready for the hard water for sure.

A bit early I have not given up on my boat just yet. Too many fat walleye still to chase..

Yeah, I'm sick of all this nice weather. Enough summer and fall! Bring on the ice

I am looking forwards to hunting whites under the ice.

Thick frost this morning. 4th or 5th time i scraped my windshield. Short list of new Brookie and perch spots to try ready....

My perching finger is getting itchy.

Have a good start when you get out all!

Good fishin'!

forecast is calling for lows below zero pretty well all week... I think its time to tune up the auger!

degasvegas · « **Reply #10 on:** Oct 24, 2015, 08:35 PM »

I've already been scoping out some of the nearby lakes, all I need is 4-5" of ice and I'm good to go. All this talk of El Nino is scaring me a little bit.

swampy45 · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 25, 2015, 08:25 AM »

hey degasvegas, I see you're from the Spruce Grove area as well, we will have to catch up this winter!

SNAPFisher · « **Reply #12 on:** Oct 25, 2015, 10:56 AM »

-8 out here today...brrrr
San can't even knock the frost off yet. Sounds like 2 more likes of below -5. That will make a difference.

degasvegas · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 25, 2015, 04:55 PM »

Hey Swampy, I'm always down for a partner on the ice.

Beaver ponds and small lakes west of rocky are frozen solid. Another week or two of cold nights should be enough to drop a line for some trout.

swampy45 · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 02, 2015, 06:42 PM »

I was checking some lakes just west of Edmonton today, all still wide open (not surprised), but the water temperature is right for some magic to start happening!

Posted in an Alberta Ice fishing FB group. First 2 pictures are Obed lake by Hinton but I forget where the last picture is from. Won't be long now.....

SNAPFisher · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 08, 2015, 08:09 PM »

LOL! Awesome thumbs up pic! Thanks for the post. Yahoo!!

swampy45 · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 09, 2015, 03:52 PM »

If I can take my boat out one more time this year I may lose my mind...

chop1 · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 12, 2015, 01:03 PM »

Ice update , went out to chickakoo this morning , ice is about 1.5-2'' thick at the docks. come on cold weather!

demasterangler · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 12, 2015, 02:41 PM »

I just hope ice is a little better in the south than last year .
But I am ready

swampy45 · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 12, 2015, 03:02 PM »

Did you venture out on the ice Chop?

chop1 · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 12, 2015, 04:37 PM »

No , i wait for 4'' +

swampy45 · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 12, 2015, 11:50 PM »

Hopefully no one is itching so hard they try getting on any lakes yet... Be patient everyone... We have all winter!

coolhandluke · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 20, 2015, 02:07 PM »

I'm itching swampy but I'm still in hunting mode.. once my season is done I'll be chomping at the bit to get out.. my ice season is gonna be short.. having shoulder surgery at the end of January.. come on ice.. I need 4"+ before my fat ass will wonder out..

swampy45 · « **Reply #26 on:** Nov 21, 2015, 08:41 AM »

went to take my pup for a walk last night and took the hand auger along with me and rod. Ended up at Chickakoo and on the ice fishing. 4" of ice, and a bunch of guys out there. I only stayed for about 30 minutes and hooked into a few, nothing top side though. Spent more time throwing the ball for my pooch. I imagine the bigger lakes will be freezing over shortly!
