Longer Ice Fishing Seasons!!!
« on: Nov 01, 2016, 04:07 AM »
"Sea ice levels this fall have been at or near record lows, and Eurasian snow cover has accumulated quickly. These factors have led Cohen to predict a weak polar vortex and colder-than-normal winter for the Eastern U.S.”

Been able to be on some kind of ice that last 2 years just after Thanksgiving. I don’t see THAT this year. BUT, if the polar vortex is like 2014, we’ll be on the ice into April, while in Europe they’ll be on the streams catching browns.

There you go bee, get after it. My fishing season never "closes". Just gotta know where to go and what to do.  ;)2

Don't forget, Al Gore invented global warming. Don't get too optimistic......  >:D
To fish or not to fish? That's a stupid question!

Longer ice fishing seasons?? Who knows? That's why it's called Mother Nature. If it was Father Nature we would figure something out.
If you fish the wrong lure long and hard enough it will eventually become the right lure!

Fishing is like playing at Carnegie Hall, when your good your good. But do you know how to get to Carnegie Hall? PRACTICE!
