My annual target date of inland Ohio lake ice fishing has been DEC 21st

My guess (wishful thinking) is Dec. 18. Whatever the actual date is, it won't be long before we're cutting holes and catching some 1st ice perch or 'gills or crappie or whatever else decides to bite. Yes!!!

I'm looking at a better forecast here. Little warm up won't hurt a thing..

The winds are what's going to screw it all up...
