Pretty sure the fat lady sang for me today.... got out on 7 inches and got with around 5. Saw flashing from approaching storms in the distance so I think we got off just in time.

Next up is SHAD baby..... silver bullets if you will.

I just checked a lake I fished a few times this year and was really surprised that it's still all locked up except for about a half a foot around shore. I certainly don't trust the ice on it but maybe the ice at the freezer will be ok on Saturday but I doubt it. It's pretty sad that instead of hoping a place has good ice I'm hoping it has open water.

sad to admit it, but I'm in full softwater mode. Got the gear ready and waiting for the ice to finish melting off. Just gotta make up my mind where to go first!

Maybe we still can do some ice fishing with those temps projections Hummmm!

Chris338378 · « **Reply #36 on:** Feb 24, 2017, 11:04 AM »

That looks BEAUTIFUL. I'm hoping and praying it ends up being accurate and we can get back out on the ice. All my gear is still in the back of my truck ready to go just need a moment's notice to grab my suit and Showdown and I'm ready to head out.

time to start looking for next year hopefully better season

Spider1 · « **Reply #42 on:** Feb 25, 2017, 07:43 AM »

dream on boys. March is gonna be a roller coaster ride with temps and weather. We usually don't grow ice in March. In a regular March that follows a regular February, we are looking for ice to survive as long as possible. Most lakes, if not all lakes, are gonna be mostly open. They ain't gonna be locking back up with any serious ice.

Well, I hate to say it, but I got the boat out yesterday and fished liquid water.

I think your correct Brother Spider, I was trying to hold out with hope but every lake around me is melted, Now the February Tornado just came thru this afternoon and I am with out power along with 18000 others , time to gas up the genny again.. this SUCKS

I heard that Belmont still had seven inches,
adn tonight it is all below freezing. Any news?
Thanks, catch the big one, Rob

eaglejac, I watched the news about that tornado, my best wishes to everyone that got hammered by that thing. Crazy stuff! I drove over to my sons house last evening to drop off his son, he lives up at Emerald Lakes. It's completely open, only a few icy edges but pretty much open.

I did a ride around on Sunday checking lakes, all ice is gone except Prompton , I could not believe my eyes the whole lake is still frozen, only problem is,, it rained so hard up in that area it raised the lake up about three feet, the water is half covering the road at the boat launch, I never seen that lake up so high, the ice is just floating on top of the water. I am done Ice fishing for this season. Time for the boat. BTY the Pac is good to go , only a small amount of ice at the state boat launch.

Spider1 · « **Reply #48 on:** Feb 27, 2017, 11:07 AM »

yeah, after all that warm rain we got I wouldn't trust the ice anywhere. It'll drain down under the ice and start melting it from below. I'm glad the pac is open now, I wanna hit the edges on my kayak by Ledgdale and see what I can find.

buffort, we'll get together for sure and I'll get you and Chez together to hang out this year too. You guys will hit it off... cuz neither of you got a low volume button, lol! I'll be on the other side of the lake and probably still be able to hear you two talkin to each other, LMGDAO!!!!

Tight lines everybody, I'm on my way to the softwater side!

Did a little perching yesterday had luck 2 of us did catch limits of 30 each on bay in Erie...north west PA...some nice perch......2 trips 120 perch...wish we had ice but have to make the best with temps in the 50s and 70s in February.........

Spider1 · « **Reply #52 on:** Feb 28, 2017, 08:41 AM »

what, you mean you caught a limit, then went back out and caught another limit?

Kov619 · « **Reply #53 on:** Feb 28, 2017, 08:57 AM »

No 2 of us each a limit 30 each...2nd trip one last week one yesterday 120 fish 2 trips in the last 5 days

Spider1 · « **Reply #54 on:** Feb 28, 2017, 09:33 AM »

cool! I didn't quite understand. Great trips out!

RuttNutt · « **Reply #55 on:** Mar 01, 2017, 06:44 AM »

WNEP says low of 9 degrees on Fri nite and high of 25 on Sat!

Of course that will only last a couple days and then back in the 50's Mon/Tues! This rollercoaster ride this year really STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spider1 · « **Reply #56 on:** Mar 01, 2017, 07:28 AM »

WNEP? yeah, I think they were almost right once this year

LOL!!!

doesn't matter how cold it is. the season is toasted. It started late and ended early. It happens, now we break out the softwater gear and have fun on the waves and dream about black ice!

eaglejac · « **Reply #57 on:** Mar 01, 2017, 07:47 AM »

Rutt , I am starting to worry about you, I know you had your heart set on trying those 8' planks but I don't think its going to happen this year. Here is your therapy prescription , 1. Put your Kayak on any lake, 2. take your Ice Jigging gear ,3. Catch you some fish , this should hold you over until December , that's almost only six months away...lol

Chris338378 · « **Reply #58 on:** Mar 01, 2017, 09:16 AM »

Don't worry Rutt, we'll keep working on the plan we were talking about.

RuttNutt · « **Reply #59 on:** Mar 01, 2017, 02:19 PM »

That's the problem, eaglejac.............. ...................... ........no kayak!

Chris- looks like we're the only stubborn ones still holding out hope.................. ...................... .......however slim that may be!
