Anytime early- mid Dec. would be fine with me. Slowly relining my reels and replacing augers blades as needed. Has to be better than last year!
You always get a few that go out on a couple inches of ice with life vests and pics.and long pieces of rope. Maybe December for that crew. Probably early january for the rest of us, like usual. I remember a few years when we got out before Christmas in central pa, but not many.
The Last time I wore a life vest and had a rope on the ice was October 13, 1998 University Lake, Anchorage Alaska. Even had the Fire Department watching me .Caught a 10 pound coho salmon through the ice that day and lost a rod to another one.Never owned pics.Can only imagine if my ponds were skimmed over this morning on the Pocono Plateau. Where's MarkD with his pics from Pocono Summit?One of the guy I fish with lives in Juniata County. One day last week it got down to 16 in a cold spot and a couple of ponds were skimmed over in the am, open in the pm. Maybe you could get up real early a be the first one on the ice for the year and then fish the same spot from your boat later in the day 😀
