Getting colder....the "little cove" on Lake Mitchell was about 25% covered in skim ice this morning on my way to work. At lunch time it was over 50% covered. Hopefully the warmer temps miss us and we get a few nights in a row with lows around 10 degrees...plus no wind!

That's the truth. Last 15-day I looked at, I don't think it ever went below 28, and only below 32 a couple times at night. Everything was a lot warmer during the day. Time to go up north.

Hahaha, it must be they are afraid to commit. Lemme see...it's a pretty equal chance that we'll be colder, warmer, or the same. I predict that tomorrow will be about 50% daylight and 50% dark.

i would wait a tad cause if it the ice is not thick. spud it out. i would be very carefull cause you can not see ware your waking that well. sep on a soft spring spot and threw the ice you go. that is why i am wainting a tad.maybe it will be jan first before i go check will see. from south east michigan.

i know right, they took out the 18 degree night we were supposed to have tomarrow night and replaced it with mid-twenties. -_-
-
22 here
-
28 and it's snowing lighter. If the winds keep up and blow that snow off the ice, it will help us out.
-
It's blowing too much and I haven't been out on the roads. I can't really tell. I'd guess a couple inches atleast. Definitely not as much as you.
-
Maybe around 2inches just north of kalamazoo that what is in my driveway.
-
3 inches maybe 4 by morning, south of Allegan.
-
3" here so far and 23 degrees.
-
about 3 inches max here..lots of blowing, I can't imagine it stayed on the ice.
25
-
8 inches of snow in the milford michigan area and about 28*f last i looked the major part of the snow was going north east accross the state from ann arbor area and i got slamed. while i shoveld the drive a little and seen a ambelance drive by dad said that there was a car crash at the end of the road and cops and ambulances were there. any ways carfull on the lake the next couple of days carry some thing to help you get off the ice and back to the car to wram up. some thing like ice picks the handle and nail type lol's. any ways wish you guy luck i may go check a shallow beach area tomrrow. before i head out to do it for sure. that is only inches deep all the way 20 foot off shore. before i end out having walk on water running back to the car. lol's frezeeing my buns off. btw i looked at it two day ago and there was ice accross the whole lake so will see if it is frozen yet or not tomrrow...

Not looking good for the next 10 days mid 30's to almost 40 with rain mix only good is the wind will help keep the surface of the ice temps at frezzing and it is still supposed to drop below freezing at night.

Too soon to know yet for sure. I would actually welcome a few above freezing days and yes maybe even some rain. It would do wonders in resurfacing the ice. We need it bad too. Just would love to see a cool down directly afterwards. ;)

44 and rising. T-Storms expected for tomorrow evening will screw things up. Forecast highs for Fri/Sat 60 - 63. Think we're on another delay again since next weeks forecast is marginal for ice making. MT Bike coming back out, might as well get a few miles in, sure won't be walking on ice for awhile. This wind will shred any open water holes

-
No but this is day one and the coldest of them. 4 more to go.

What's wrong with having first ice twice in the same season? ;D
Just the waiting period between ice. I also enjoy ice that is thick enough to support myself and a friend sitting next to me, or a permanent shanty, or a truck for that matter. Never was too much to ask for in past years. :-\

All I here is negativity! Relax a little! Enjoy the sunshine for a bit! I'm going fishing tomorrow! And I'm gonna enjoy being comfortable on a bucket outside of the shanty for a couple days! Heck I'm gonna enjoy fishing on hardwater for the rest of the winter! So quite being Mr. Negativity! @)

19 at present, clear and calm. Did have the chance to check one of my primary fishing little lakes. 2/3" of ice with it still creaking and popping make more. Main "PO"ing problem was looking out 15yds through crystal clear ice and seeing a school of Jumbo PERCH skimming around the sand grass in 3' of water. Whiplash, then like a bird dog on point :woot:

-
Ha! Brought back from the dead. First time I've ever posted on this thread. 37* in Lansing, but rising. We got some rain today, but not as bad as I feared. This wind is going to be a bee-yotch for any lakes that have open areas. I can't predict how things will look on Tuesday, but there is hope the ice may come through.
-
Glad it's back. 37* and raining in genesee County. :'(
-
I'm glad it's back too. 40 and raining.
-
41*, misty drizzle and believe the local ice season is history. Short term forecast is not good for making decent ice anytime soon

Hilarious that people would whine to have a thread taken down that is all weather reports. Like any thread, if you don't enjoy it, don't click on it. Just as simple as how to evade a train trying to kill you, take a step to the side.
34 and very windy.
-
No doubt it was meant to be taken as a joke, thats how I read it anywho and seems like most others did to. Seemed simple.:)
32 and windy as all get out herr in S.E. MI.
Get cold nights and some of the lakes should hold up, with luck.

How long will it take for the "global cooling" crowd to start whispering...JK
-
Global Cooling went out of style around 30yrs ago. Icefishing Thanksgiving to Easter, blizzards dropping 3'- 4' of snow overnight and the ice was 30"- 40+" thick, maybe next year ::)
-

I hear you. I grew up in the Gun Lake area and the lake I lived on always got 16 inches of ice or more. When I was in school in the late 70's, it was common for car and trucks to drive on the lake. This year that lake made it to about 10 inches and that is the most I can remember in a long time. It was common to be able to get on the ice over Thanksgiving break and we always fished into April. You could actually ride a snowmobile all winter without ever having to haul it north.
-
I am not as seasoned as you gents but I remember some times in the 80's and just back in the mid 90's fishing from Nov 25th-April 16th. Remember drilling 42" of ice on Higgins mid april and spuding the remaining because we didnt have enough length. Havent had my truck out on the ice in about 4 years now.
22 degrees.

http://www.gulllakeiyc.org/history3.html Was plenty of fun on Gull fishing for pannies along the edges and watching these things whizzing by. Some wrecks were spectacular, caught some monster Perch during the championships
-
My buddy's dad had an ice boat. He used to race it, but I don't know if he took it to Gull. I took many a spin across the glare ice. A 15 mile/hr wind and you are flying!
Back to the subject...I fished this morning and it was a cold 20 degrees. Had to keep my gloves on due to the wind. 25 degrees here now. Ready for steel, but guess I'll be on the ice for another week or two for sure.

Saturday may be the day to get out on a very few select places. I'm talking canals and small man made ponds that don't get any wind and cool quickly. I would love to ice a pike before December!!!
Disclaimer: Do not take my words above as me stating there is safe ice. No ice is safe and if you show up to a lake this weekend with your power auger and wax worms, don't be surprised if you see ducks and turtles swimming around.

19*, went by a couple of waters I occasionally fish, no ice at all. Had a Great Blue Heron fly by this AM, Sandhill Cranes landed in the field and 17 Deer were on the far side of the corn field acting as if nothing is/has been going on. This has been one of the weirder stretches of time I can remember, plenty of cold(ish) weather and nothing really to show for it

46* and still rising

48 Currently :( I love how the predicted high today was 38. I'd feel good if the predicted low tonight ended up ten degrees cooler than the forecast, but I doubt that'll be the case.
-
OMG it's 43.8* and falling.
-
32° Looks like the ten day is going to be warmer but the big cold front headed are way is going to be here soon. Do you guys think the next few days will melt what little ice we have?
-
Probably, it can only be extremely marginal at best. Slightest bit of rain will easily kill it
-
Wow it got quite a bit warmer down state compared to us. Highest I saw today was 36, it's 33 now.
There's a tiny limestone kiln pond in Petoskey, it's insanely deep, it was covered with ice at noon by 5 it was opening up. Sure would be nice if it would just stay cold.

Looks like the cold front doesn't come through until Wednesday night and into Thursday. Below freezing highs start Friday with lows in the teens for a good five days after that.
Need an arctic blast.

37 in Comstock Park. Not supposed to dip below freezing all week.
Looks like Friday will start a cold snap around here. I'll bet we'll be on the ice by December 13th. Heck of a lot sooner than the past couple years!!!
-
It is looking good by then!
-
That's the spirit Swamp! But I can't wait that long so I'm heading up to Clare on Tuesday. Then Harrison. Then Houghton Lake. No cure for stupid, I know, but north of Clare will be 10 degrees colder all week, so I'm willing to gamble.
-
31.9*. sure, why not a tease. Crunchy slush on the ground, forecast is for a damp 52* tomorrow. Supposedly the bottoms to fall out Friday and stay that way for awhile. All forecasts subject to change without notice but someday they will swing our way
-
31 and snowing here. In the 50's tomorrow but cold weather is said to return Thursday. Lets hope we had our January thaw in December.

New NOAA update (12/2)
http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/814day/814temp.new.gif

NOAA.gov - Aren't they the same government agency that predicted a higher than normal Hurricane season, don't recall even hearing of one. If they'd quit playing with their global warming skewed computer programs and actually look out the back door every now and then, maybe, just maybe, they'd become somewhat credible.

I am waiting till the first of the week then go check some ice thickness [-4 Saturday night]

Looks like we will get an inch of snow. No big deal ;D

16* and the possibility of 3"- 6" of snow is of concern. Not fond of wind with the snow for others safety concerns on the road, but just enough wind to maybe blow most of it off the ice could be acceptable. A little warm up in the near future might help compress the snow a little without effecting the ice very much. It's Friday the 13th, we're all doomed anyway, hide and relax

26*F with a chance of snow to night 1-2 inches with a low of 19*F was just out on the ice and it popping and cracking while drilling the holes so i just left for a week till it thickens up more...
-
23* and not snowing, yet
-
19*f no snow yet it is going to start at 3:15 a.m. with light snow and we will get 3-4 inches according to weather.com. along with another 1 inch to night so lets hope it does not wreck the ice around south east michigan or any ware else.
-
3" plus and 19.6 out
powder snow
looks like no end to it
9am
-
19* and blowing snow. Considering on this date last year there was no ice ~40*. raining on and off. We're in reasonable shape to get a season in this year, relax we'll get there
-
currently 18*f with 4-6 inches of snow on the ground do not think the ice is safe with all this snow on it 3 -3.5 inches of ice with 4-6 inches of snow on it. is it going to crack from the weight? it mite be a week before wee get out? it looks like the 20th of December it is going to be 39*F and raining so how long will this weather last? also how long till were on the ice in south east Michigan again?
-
Don't get all excited about a little rain and 40 degrees its only for a day or two, look @ weather behind it. I will be surprised if we see any grass till spring. The ice is not gonna melt under the snow just be a little messy, fish on just keep yer spud handy!! Gotta remember the ice under the snow is some of the best ice I have seen in yrs.

-
need 1 good warmup day with a nice rain to clear out the snow, then we can go back to the 10 degree days for a few weeks.
-
We would need a monsoon to get 6-8" of snow off the ice
-
Looks like a two day warmup coming. Should be great to get the snow reduced a bit on the ice for it to refreeze again. BTW 17

Think you may be better off in the long run with warmer temps. This marginally above freezing crap isn't getting rid of the problem and if it doesn't last long enough to do any major good, we're going to to have some very dangerous ice situations in the near future. If it's going to be above freezing, be well above freezing and help us out
-
21 up this way and light snow
-
I agree that it will be good to melt off snow and make more good ice. But I wish it would get there faster, I got the fever!

Grab your insulateds and all your cold weather gear. Here is an interpretation of one of the more accurate weather models for the week of/after New Years.
Shows temps on the 7th of 50* below normal in Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin. A relatively warm 35* below normal here because of Lake Michigan. IF it's accurate, it would be a 5 day period with an average high around 5*, and an average low around -12*.

8*- 2" of snow and still coming down. At least we made some ice beforehand, "experts" calling for anywhere between 4" - 8" but these situations can get out of hand easily. In a sarcastic manner, nice start to the New Year, seems it's the Southern counties turn for anxiety
-
Swift what are they calling for around Three Rivers ? We were coming over Friday for a few days. Maybe better bring the Quad ?

My thermometer broke yesterday, said it was above freezing.
-
38 degrees at 11:30. Jumped about 10 degrees in an hour with the sun out!
-
41* sunny and pleasant. Supposed to be back towards normal by the weekend, not fond of the thoughts of a T-Storm after a possible light ice storm tomorrow but this is Michigan. All weather reports and forecasts subject to change without notice
-
38 here in the northern lower
-
All weather reports and forecasts subject to change without notice
bingo! by the way it is 45*F and the high today was to be 38*F but hay it is just natures Zamboni. the ice will be better to walk on after the rain and ice storm.
-
Sunshine, Blue skies! 2 feet of ice. Aint life grand?
-
Just hate the batten down the hatches type forecasts, hope they're wrong. Thursday - 1/4" of possible freezing rain then rain/fog and in the evening T-Storms and 50mph gusts possible. Friday - snow squalls with 25-30mph winds with gusts to 50mph. Saturday it starts settling down with Sunday sunny and 20(ish).

just went out side and cleaned the sewer grates off and dug them out for the rain water so our street does not flood like it has before. yep that forecast we will be getting the same here is what made me think of cleaning those sewer grates off. i don't want to have to get the waders out to clean them off as cars drive by splashing me... cold and dripping wet is no fun on a day i could be fishing. when this stuff melts it will be a heck of a lot of water. i got to get some sump pumps worked on just to be ready for it and some pvc and a couple of couplers. but fishing is at the top of the list for now lol's so are those.
-
34*, heavy wet snow and thunder, dead calm
-
snow thunder!
-
34*f snow then rain = slush so i already shoveled the drive to prevent tons of ice build up. time to go get some salt to salt the drive if i can? just don't want the cars surfaces and the drive turning in to a big thick chunk of ice and snow with the car sliding around hitting each other trying to leave lol's. j/k on the cars hitting each other just don't want to risk it.
-
44* calm, thunder shower
-
40*F and dropping looks like tomorrow it will be gusting wind of up to 40 mph if you live in a area with power line that are not buried mite want to check on your generators if you got one. like make sure the oil is changed and that they start and have gas? just a tip some for you to check on the the older family member you may want to check on them after the storm passes cause a elderly person could freeze to death with the temps predicted now for a the week end around Sunday. if they lose power you lose your heat too most of the time...
-
33* southern Branch county, real windy!!
-
32* wind gusts to only 46 mph. Slush from yesterday has frozen on the side streets, tire shredders if you get out of the groove. Nasty, can't imagine what the access areas look like

14 below zero this morning, about 5 below right now, and supposed to get colder tonight. I'm up near Houghton/Hancock in the western U.P. I find this thread amusing.

This thread is amazing. How else could you possibly find out what the temp is someplace that you're not going to be?
-
back on topic: 10 degrees in SW GR @ 9:15 am.
-
21* at the moment. Anyone else noticing how "Cranky" the non icefisherman or winter outdoors people have become over the last few weeks? Saying "good morning" to many is becoming a good way to have unapproved FCC language spewed back at you.

The back porch snapped when I stepped on it when I just came home. At least the big back deck is not popping like it has when it got cold before. Maybe because I have not shoveled the last 5 inchs of snow off like I usually do

noticed the warm up coming two three weeks ago started out with temp rising to mid 30's during the day and teens at night... from teen during the day and negative temps at night now we got 40's and 50's during the day headed our way... that's why the ice wont last long that's why i said get it while you can.. i cant believe that people would not listen ::) to what i had to say... trying to warn them to get out while they can but of course it happens..
were only human we can error... here the thread i started about the weather change...

I just looked at the aviation weather site I watch for wind direction and speed forecast. It only covers three days.
The lines is almost flat in the 30's with a couple of bumps to the low 40's. From a 45* high on Friday it slides back to 31* at 2 am Saturday. Looks like another cold trout opener. Fished openings in snow and sleet many times
Winds and rain finally drop off on Thursday evening.
-
34 and light on/off snow in Grand Rapids.
-
34 and light on/off snow in Grand Rapids.
Basically the same at my house. Lawn in major need of mowing, not doing it in the snow
-
looks like we are about one month behind. hardly any rain last month and now theres no stopping it any time soon.
at least its in the 80's and great for kayaking the same places we once had holes in the water not long ago.
probably will need air conditioning on soon too with the hot/humid air on the way.
wonder why theres no count down clock for ice fishing yet.
-
Woo Hoo 29° this morning, we're makin' ice! Wait.....wrong season it is the back half of May, right? ;D

Did you get any of that snow yesterday? I remember crossing into Canada at the Soo back in 1962 by ferry (before the bridge) and hearing the chunks of ice coming out of Superior banging the boat the second week of May. Ended getting snowed out of our trip 71 miles up the Algoma RR due to snow.

It snowed a little Tuesday morning, the 19th. Not enough to matter, but enough to make it the topic of conversation for the day.
-
I just talked to one of the guys that was at the lake planting the fish the assn. bought. He comes from south of the soo. His wife is up there right now and told him they had better than an inch on the ground yesterday or the day before.
-
good thing its warm out with all of this rain, just think how much snow it would have made. rain day and night with maybe one day a week with out it.
looking at the forecast its rain every day and night for at least a week, again/still.
its good to see the lakes comming back up tho. i'm on rice creek and its flooding and has been for some time now.
maybe it will help get the fish back where they are used to be.
-
Have emptied a little over 13" of rain from the gauges since Memorial Day. Beats seeing the neighbors lawn go up in flames around this time a couple years ago but enough is enough. Did get a bumper crop of Strawberries and it's looking the same for the Raspberries, Tomatoes are about the size of tennis balls and Bell Peppers like marbles already, beats a drought. Water to high to wade for river Smallies, lakes not overly high, at least it's not 90*
-
record crop of mosquitoes! i have to use a fan when sitting out side at our picnic area and lots of citronella candles/oil lamps. no deet this year tho.
looks like 90's this weekend swift.
67 water temp at south haven.
-
Break down and buy a therma cell. You will wonder why you did not buy one sooner. They also make one that is combined with a lantern for on the table. I saw the lanterns at a MC store awhile back. I bought mine off of ebay.
The one made for hunting will work as well so it is multi purpose.
-
heard they work good unless wind is blowing.
-
I bought one for my hunting buddy of 60 years this spring. He about bled to death calling in a tom for me in the spring of 2014 while I sat with out getting bit with my TCell. He never used it turkey hunting this spring as the skeeters never showed up with the cool weather. He uses it now as he sits on his property watching the deer most nights. He told me last night that he saw one at goodwill the other day for $2.00. Snatched it up and put fuel and repellant and good to go. He gave it to his gal friend.
-
so we all hoping for a early winter ???? hit 92*f yester day and temp are head lower after that is making me think.. maybe time to dust off the ice gear ?
-
Thank god it has cold off for know 61 here
-
felt cold yesterday with shorts on and the strong winds. the wife was digging it tho.
i see the sunset is 8:35pm now. lost almost an hour at night now.

-

-

Yep, made a lot of money hustling bucks shoveling snow so neighbors could get out the door
-
reminds me of the snow storm of 1977 too. got dumped on big time that year too.
i had to wait for a truck trying to pull out a stuck in the ditch car and a county snow plow plowed me in right there in the road. i couldn't believe he did that to me. had to get out the passenger side and walk to a friends house that i was trying to pick up to take to work at western. it was up to my belt waliking thru a feild. later that day, one of my bros x-country skied over my truck and said it was buried for sure.
they declared an sate of emergency after i tried to get to work that day.
-
Remember jumping off 4th floor roofs in College (GVSU) into 15' drifts during that storm, going icefishing was a bear but most public access's were plowed after a couple of days. Made a small fortune during that storm, had a large back pack and snowshoes, $2 bottle of Ripple or MadDog was going for $20, couldn't make enough trips. Still 62* outside
-
those were the times for sure.
looks like below freezing for a few night this weekend to help get the ice fishing gears rolling.
-
48*f currently but Saturday it going to be 30*f at night is what there calling for..
-
Yeah, but it's going to warm up a little next week.
-
Yeah, but it's going to warm up a little next week.
yep and it's going to go down again to on the 28 of October there calling for 28*f at night too on the 28th and I think day before and day after it will be about 30 or 31 *F at night those nights then go back up again..it is fluctuating till the cold stays for a while and you get the opposites like cold for 4-5 days and warm 3 days.. "like a flip of temperature" this happens every year but this year it earlier buy about 2 weeks ... I hoping for ice in early December but you just don't know. just got to keep a eye on the weather for a month or two...if you get a warming trend for a week or two may push back ice a week or two...which we don't want ...
-
As long as I can get on the east bay of Houghton Lk by mid December and be able to fish down here before Christmas I'll be happy.

That is next on the list. See what I can do with the 12 gauge as I might try my luck on some public land around here!?!? Then I will put some attention to the 30-06 in hopes I can get at least one day up North on the weekend.

75* and too nice out to worry about much of anything, change is just around the corner

15 day forecast looks pitiful!!! Come on crisp!!!!

What stinks about this warm weather is, right now I am inside doing a kitchen and bathroom remodel when the weather is nice, and the next job I have is building a pole barn which will probably be cold and windy.
Such is life..... ::)

its great for my large out side paint job i'm trying to finish. looks like it will be done soon thanks to the toasty temps.
8 cases of caulk and 45 gallons of paint so far. all rolled and brushed on.
building was made in 1838 and is greek.

Temps arent really too good, I think it might be one those years, ice fishermen will be joining the Tigers and Lions in the year that never was. I really hope these weather people turn out to be wrong. Well enjoy the hot weather.

he just had a good year of steel heading in his blood and want another like the one year we did not get ice.. tell you the truth the reason that whole thing with no ice happen a asteroid hit the sun and sent a solar flare across the earth which warmed the earth a tad for the whole winter. according to that years solar predictions... which caused awesome steel heading even had a awesome time at flat rock steel heading the weather was perfect year for there and the lake Erie tributaries.... which is unheard of most of the time in the universe we live in....

according to accuweather no constant below freezing period until mid december we probably won't be fishing till january this year

They say the last El Nino was 1997, I wasnt that into ice fishibg then, but remenber February being very warm. Does anyone recall what ice conditions were like in 97' ?
-
seems like maybe 5 years ago, the ice was early, then left, them had a partial recovery and started to leave again and finally was back for the duration.
i know the wind played into it big time. kept making heaves or overlapped ice that was bad.

yep I remember it.. I thought it was 4 years ago.i steelhead fished till the 10th of January that year and only had 5 inches of ice to drill thru all ice season after that.rain kept melting the ice and it kept having to start over.pretty bad ice fishing season but was a great steelhead year.

that is the same year se Michigan had no ice it was caused by a so called solar flare from a asteroid they blamed it all on.... I steel head fished all the way threw February on the Huron just south of Detroit on all places that year did really well if any thing...

20F at 10:15pm in Howell, MI.snow capital of SE MI. Had skim ice on a pond this morning or was it skim slush from 16.5 inches of snow. All of this should help cool the upper portion of water, and bring us that much closer to walking on water. Cant wait to fry some panfish up with Italian bread crumbs.

I left a cup of ice water in my car overnight and it was about 50% fully frozen.

There was a bit of skim ice in one of the coves when I went to town this noon. Might be gone by now as most of the snow in the yard has melted since noon.
Edit There was still some of the skim ice left when I went through just before dark tonight. Suprising with the sun all after noon.

Jan. 12th is my personal prediction for ice around my area. That still might be wishful thinking. Wouldn't mind a day or two day trip up north though. Anybody done any ice fishing on cedar lake in leelanau county? My dad said back in the day they usedto stick it with browns and rainbows. Kinda wanted to give it a visit. Also might have to hit up Arbutus and Lake Dewbanay (thats probably spelled very wrong.) for nostalgia purposes. Thos were the first couple lakes i ever ice fished back 20 years ago when i was still crapping crayons.

It seems like this year with this el nino and the warm December, theres been more people than ever ready to throw the towel in, myself at times included. Theres an extra day in February this year, so we got that going for us.

Agree 100%...forecast looks good, minus any significant snowfall and windy nights I think we'll have walkable ice by Jan. 10...(2 weeks from yesterday). Water at my first ice lake is 34deg on the surface, it's ready to go....things are going to happen fast this year.

I'm also in Eaton County. I know what you mean. Just seeing a little ice on the ponds in the morning gives some hope. Looking at the ten-day forecast, maybe we'll get some ice starting on the lakes. Even so, 20's at night and 30's in the day really ain't good enough for January.
-
just did my daily long term forecast look up..........for the first time in a long time, I like what I see.
I think I will be on the ice on Jan 16th
Latest I can ever remember, but a week ago I figured we would be lucky to hit the ice by the end of Jan.

monday looking real cold

Went to a couple secluded ponds that I fish in the summer for bass and lunker gills. They are surrounded by heavy tree cover and hills, which makes for a perfect ice making situation with the unfortunate windy conditions. Went out there yesterday, a nice portion was frozen over just as I expected. Will be going back out on monday with a spud bar and mayyyyybeee some waxies and a panny rod. A guy can dream right? High/low for monday is 19 and 9. Ironic?

-
40's end of the week and rain on those days :(
good news is artic snap for next week starting monday :)
hope any ice there may be only gets better!
-
It's 9F and calm at 1:30am in Howell, MI. Lake Chemung was skimmed over earlier as well as a portion of Howell lake by the boat launch. Hopefully this warm up and rain coming doesn't melt all the ice.
-
11* here, slight breeze, making ice!!
-
I checked out the Selfridge DNR boat launch on Sunday afternoon. It was open water. I checked it today around noon, and it was iced over. There was ice well into the lake also. Still too soon for a walking test, but it's progress. :)
Here's hopin' for cold weather the rest of the week.
-
Lakes are iced over here in Howell, 1inch of the clear stuff. Pond had 2 inches
-
Uh-oh. Maybe that cold weather we've been looking forward to next week will come with a potload of snow.

But we gotta stay optimistic.
-
kent lake is covered in ice just passed by on the ex-way I-96 seems it may happen!
-
22.8
-
37... >:(
-
Here comes the rain again, temps are rising, cold fronts coming. Time to go stock up on bait and wait some more. Guess I'll go do some more jiggin on the couch.
-
2 to 5 inches snow saturday night to sunday.
-
Look on positive side, says high for next Wednesday is 14*
-
38...Rain
-
37* with a steady drizzle. Supposed to stay above freezing until Sunday and then drop
-
48 and rain on the way....... >:(
-
40 and rain but looking up:
http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/l/Niles+MI+49120:4:US
-
37 with drizzle here
-
38* and the drizzle continues. Winter Storm Watch issued for Saturday night through Sunday, 5"- 9" of snow is the last thing we need
-
now im hoping for it to rain harder to melt what little ice we have and dump all that snow into the lake.its not going to make any ice if it dumps snow on the little ice we have now.its not going to matter how cold it get the ice will rot.
-
7 layer ice
-

Hoping the same thing here, might as well start over than have double layers!!
-
37° But the cold weather will be here Sunday. I hope it stays for a while.
-
I know the ice is coming, but the suspense is killing me.
-
Cloudy and 42* here, got .29" rain
-
44 and drizzle. 2.25 inches of ice on my pond is wet, but held up... I'm not sure that's a good thing
-
A calm foggy 41*
-
46 here, hope it takes what little ice we have off, don't want a double layer!!
-
I guess we'll take what ever we can at this point, beggars can't be choosers. Looks like winters coming back to kick our butts!
-
39 and rain.
-
Raining fairly hard now, thankfully the ice will be gone before the CRAP really starts
-
Doesn't seem like we're going to get as much snow as they predicted. The amount of snow keeps going down.
-
If we ever get ice, Im staying the night on it
-
41 and a steady rain!! BS
-
Also 41 and rain here. Of course it doesn't matter what I hope for. We're gonna get what we get. BUT maybe around Lansing this rain will take out the skimpy ice we had, whatever snow we get lands on open water, then the nice cold temperatures come in next week and make beautiful ice! Might as well hope, cause we can't fish yet!

My thoughts exactly. Fingers crossed.
-
31 here currently wind about 5 mph around half inch snow. The rain was .39" before snow started
-
27* and windy. Received about 1/2"of snow after 1/2" of rain, we got lucky. Temps (theoretically)going to drop and stay down this week, maybe this coming weekend we can get out but not going to hold my breath until it happens. Advanced weather reports haven't been right in seemingly years, we got lucky but they actually missed on this one locally which is fine for now
-
27.6 Got about 1" of snow so far and coming down hard,it was 31.1 at 700am.
-
27* calling for 2-4in of snow today.
-
I see its 12* in Chicago right now, so its coming!! Can do without snow though!!
-
No complaints 25° and a beautiful January day.
-
My neighbor (87 years old) stopped by yesterday with a bucketful of big bluegills......so there is ice somewhere. Guess I am going to have to keep an eye on him! ;D
-
23 degrees 12 inches new snow and still snowing. No fishing for a while here
-
27
-
13° and light snow..
-
cold as can be with light snow lol's currently 14*f feel like -2*f with the wind chill by the way light snow....
-
10 degrees -1 wind chill. Game on!
-
5* here currently. with a 8mph wind!!
-
9 degrees, and only 2-inches of snow!
-
13* which is good. Problem is 1"-3" of snow over night and a projected 5"-8" for tomorrow. Have a spotty reasonable skim on a couple small waters I checked, but that's a lot of potential weight/insulation on not very much ice
-
Finally good and cold snow stay away
-
Guess they didnt factor in the lake effect snow, when they said precipitation would be below average this winter, just another monkey wrench
-
19* here windy as he$$!
-
14* and the wind is hopefully pushing the snow off the ice, West @ 15 - 20 mph
-
14* and the wind is hopefully pushing the snow off the ice, West @ 15 - 20 mph
Just checked a couple local lakes, about 4" snow on them and don't seem to be blowing off, ice was shaky, but some guys out!!
-
I got out on a few small ponds today here in lansing. Two had 2 1/2 inches with some slop on top. And another had three inches of solid/honeycomb mix with 3-4 inches of snow on top.Didn't catch much but it was great to finally get out.
-
14 :tipup:
-
4* here
-
-2 real temp, -14 with windchill.
Will have the truck on the ice this time next week.
-
17 degrees but not making any ice.went to miner lake today got out about 5 yards and fell thru up to my knees.all this snow is rotting the ice.there was about 2 inches of slush ice with to much snow on top.we need a melt down and start over in Allegan co.its not going to matter how cold it get with a big insulation snow blanket on top of piddly ice.
-
10* but supposed to steadily rise to above freezing over the next couple of days. Local ice is somewhat of a mess at the moment with the snow on top, not going to take the risk of even considering it. With the small amount of rain coming for Friday we're screwed for a little longer
-
10 here also, said warming to around 21 by morning!
-
13.6° and light snow!!!
-
It's been in the teen's for 3 days straight. Going to get out this weekend.
-
38* and a foggy, moderate drizzle. Cold is coming but not apparently for this weekend, safety wise
-
I got wet yesterday.todays weather sure didn't make any ice.im not even spudding around this weekend and hopefully the cold snap coming hardens the slush we have now.and no more snow..
-
28*
-
Im starting to feel like a procrastenater, keep saying maybe tomorrow or next weekend, but then again it is raining out
-
Im starting to feel like a procrastenater, keep saying maybe tomorrow or next weekend, but then again it is raining out
That's exactly how I feel. I really want to get out, but I don't want to go through the ice, so it just keeps getting put off. But the weather for next week is really looking good!
-
27* and windy. Better conditions but decided against even a road trip to look. Waiting is getting old but it seemed senseless to waste the time, thank God for trivial hobbies
-
29 here, waiting for tonite , hope weather man is right calling for 4-6* Yeah!!
-
8 degrees in the swamp. I'm going fishing today!
-
Found some ice in Genesse County yesterday, shore was rotted with about 3 inches out on the lake. Went in up to my waste on the way back trying to pick up 2 paper bags that blew away earlier, should tighten up after the cold. Travel lite
-
11* with gusts to 25-30 mph, not snowing here at the moment. Subject to change without notice
-
high of 16 and dropping to 9 by 4pm with a low of 5 tonight. should be hearing the ice song all day and night !

glad it wasn't deeper and you didn't loose any thing! hope you had dry clothes to change into and a bath towel. i have to load that bag and the spud to check ice and extra boots. i needed them a few times now.
-
Got up at 7 am this morning 17 here, down to 9* and wind is howling!!
-
5*, wind chill -11*. Snow never really made it my way, ice to be checked tomorrow

mt.perchman
-
12* but the wind is blowing the snowy dust around.
-
5* here slight wind
-
these single digit temps make me glad i have a roof over my head and i feel for the homeless and have no idea how they can survive in this.
-
15 here and just came off ice, its really singing!!
-
8* and dropping!!
-
37*F watching ice grow thinner
-
36 here and light mist
-
looks like a week of warmer temps and cold for the next two so lets just hope it not a end to the season...
-
quarter inch of rain tonight 80%. 40's near end of the week and beginning next week. shore ice may be a wash.
-
Weather Channel is predicting a significant snow event for early next week after a warmup and rain this weekend. :-\
-

They're talking 8"-12" next Tuesday which is the last thing we need after a warm up. Ice is tolerable for early December at the moment but it's actually late January, give me a break
-

Didn't hear that, what station forecast that?
-
Wunderground http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=KBTL Over the years if it's been a forecast I really desire they're rarely close, bad ones they're nearly always on target
-
this warm up won't hurt my area i don't think we have 8-9 inches on most lakes and tuesday night thru thursday is cold then friday thru sunday is warmer then monday cold again
currently 33 degrees
-
39° and rain...
-
Is it the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning? The throes of ice fishing
-
I hope the forecasts are wrong. The only good thing is its still below freezing at night. Its one thing if we had a foot of ice with only 4-5 my area its not good. This is the ice fishermen nightmare
-
Seems they've backed off the heavy snow forecast for next week, for now. 32 *, overcast and gusty winds to near 30mph presently. Visually checked a couple waters from a distance this AM, plenty of water on the ice being blown around by the wind, ice underneath getting that air infused look, not good but still there

-
35 * and dropping here, winds 18 mph gusting to 26 mph, only .06" rain so far, don't look like a lot more, as most went north of here. Gonna get little more rain or snow tonite, hopefully in my neck of the woods, wont be too bad!!
-
thunderstorms in February here..
-
37* and a steady light rain, at least the wind has died down some, weather not good for much of anything except washing the excess salt off the road
-
1/2 inch or more of ice pellets on the ground. WZZM 13 is still saying we are getting rain. Hopefully it does warm up and turn to rain to melt this ice.
-
46* and foggy, light rain
-
50 in Howell, hopefully be back on the ice the weekend of Feb 13th & 14th.
-
Shoot almost ready to scrap the idea of getting safe ice again and just pray for open water! As zad as it is to say:(

-
29 and about 1/2" of snow but we are going in the right direction.
-
29 and just a enough snow to cover the ugly spots on the ice.spud time for sure.
-
27* and a solid dusting of snow that continues to fall
-
28 here and a little snow falling, just checked a pond and top real soft, didn't try to fish, just fyi

Rp
-
Still above freezing, 42* here now!!
-
Says it's 42 here as well.
-
I drove up to houghton lake yesterday, the rivers were froze over and there was a foot of clear ice. What a difference a couple hours north makes. Cold snap coming this week, round two.

-
27 and starting to snow .i hope Allegan co. don't get dumped on.the ice needs to get thicker and will with the cold temps this week but not if its covered in up to a foot of snow.
-
Good ol lake effect, its 25 here and dropping, light snow starting also!!
-
currently 11* and calm, this is more like it!!

it's so cold, your battery is almost drained!
-
I had -2 here in the Cedar Swamp this morning. With the lack of snow in my area, the ice should be perfect for some 40 degree fishing next week.
-
8 Degrees
-
-7F in Howell, MI. @ 5:30am Sunday February 14, 2016. Gonna start the day going for panfish, then maybe get a few perch. Good luck and stay warm.

-
30 here, temp dropping, barometer rising!!
-
Tied the record from back in the winter of 96 !!

5°F here in Howell at 3:30am, a little colder than the experts predicted, could be the last single digit night of the season. : (

Weather Underground says it's 0 degrees here.

3* here and clear
-
10* :tipup:

This should get rid of the snow. Looks like I'll be fishing in the rain, oh well nothing new!
-
34 here, and the wind is a howling!!!
-
26
-
It was cold as hell fishing today, some warmer temps might be kind of nice. We should get another arctic blast before the years out one would think, but who knows
-
38 and real windy!!
-
38 here with wind good day to catch up on honeydews
-
Above Freezing :(
-
up to 50 already, don't look good for tomorrow either, calling for over 50 again!!
-
wow 63* not a cloud in the sky, wind 22mph!!
-
Interesting. I checked the satellite view this morning and Saginaw Bay appeared completely frozen over again. These high winds and warm temps will make short work of that new ice, I think.
-
57* 30-35 mph winds, gusts to 45
-
58°.. Pulled my shanty this morning. Shore ice is getting soft already. Big windy.. Temps this week will probably blow this ice up in a hurry.. I caught 11 last night. Might be it for a while..
-
62 in Grandville :P
-
63 and high gusts up to 45 mph. Just got done cleaning some branches. Checked out a local spot near the house that I fished last nigth and open spots which have springs/currents are getting bigger and away from shore. Suppose to cool down starting Sunday night, but doubtful it will be accessible for the rest of the season. Other lakes away from the lakeshore near GR will be fine.
-
62* and extremely windy. 😥
-
Made it to 60* with wind gusts to 55 mph
-
was on a lake today and the wind was pulling my shanty/sled like a dog pulls it's owners with it folded lol! good thing i had ice racing screws in my boots. a buddy didn't have any thing for slipping and the wind was blowing him and his sled/flip shanty and i had to stop him like a tree. good thing i was there to help him.
there's over an inch on the lake and when i drilled holes water was rushing down them and the sonar was picking up the surface debris flushing down the holes and clogging the holes with dirt. the ice was hard tho and not springy at all, for now and same for the shore. the ramp end had 7" and the other end has 4 3/4". the fish were in their usual spots.
would have been fun on skates to see how fast you could go.
more of the same tomorrow, but not as bad.
-
still 56 here and hurricane force winds!!
-
Still 58° here. Still windy. Power is out, been on the genny for a while.
-
29 here, might be too late, although seen couple guys on ice yesterday, but with 60* and wind don't know about today!!
-
was making ice last night while fishing in the dark even tho the temps were 39. the transducer wouldn't get thru the holes that were open while it was light out.
going today will be fine on the lakes you know were good yesterday. the bite is so bad tho, i wouldn't drive too far to see how they are today.
we had 7 inches in sw branch county yesterday on a lake that's supposed to have a tournament on right now, so i won't mention lake names and ruin their tournament.
-
41 here now, I see they changed the Wed. forecast from 5-8" snow to 1.19" rain now, either way in my neck of the woods we are probably doomed!!
-
36 here, and that horrible wind has stopped. I know I spend too much time looking at the 10-day forecast, but it just changed for the better. After only a little snow on Wed, starting Thursday I see 6 nights in a row of lows below 20, and 3 of those in single digits! Could we really be lucky enough to get some sort of mild Arctic Blast? I think that could heal whatever damaged ice we've got left.
-
31* and rising. They still can't figure out the weather for Wednesday/Thursday but it's not promising, temps projected to be marginal at best. Need substantial COLD down here or it's truly over
-
news said the more significant snow will be to the east of the state.
if we get it, it may push the snow plate under and freeze the new snow i hope, if we have to have it.
says rain to snow and 2" wed and 4" wed night.
also the winds will be gusting to 38 mph day time and so it should be in the night too. so that should help. it's a north east wind too. that will shove the unwanted snow to the other end of the lakes where i fish.
-
now we're in a winter storm watch for middle of wed into thurs night!

you know whats weird about this summer is I haven't been bit by a single mosquitoe.or seen any really..there were tons of little black gnats early spring but that's it around here.i didn't do much night time catfishing this year tho either.
-
Very few skeeters here also

I have Tree Swallow houses. They devour mosquitos all summer, but they left at least a month ago! They must have gone to Brazil for food.
-
Maybe went to Florida to help on those zika skeeters!!!
-
Skeeters out of control while out Crow hunting this AM. Potholes overflowing with standing water in grain fields, farmers a little concerned over field conditions for the harvest. Very warm and extremely humid, even around dawn. Been mowing the lawn twice weekly lately, garden growing like mad. South of I-94 is soaked, North is hit and miss
-
skeeters just drove us in the house early tonight. the sun's still out and they are biting and flying all over in the sun. must be they got some new blood that lets them stay in the sunshine like tru blood. huge too!
-
85* with 80% humidity, feel one can drink the air. Skeeters still overwhelming at dawn/dusk/night. Cicadas have been going crazy for a few weeks, maybe there's hope in sight.
-
I was out picking some ripe maters and got nailed by a few skeeters early this morning .ive got a pond in the backyard and the fish love when the skeeters try to breed in it.fattens those big panfish right up.

70's after friday for a week at least.
pavers were in my driveway yesterday and i asked if they wait for the hottest of days to work because that's when you see them around here. i asked them how hot is the asphalt and they said 300 degrees. it was still hot last night and would burn your bare feet (ask me how i know) like a hot sand at the beach.
-
Getting slightly better, only hit 81* Friday
-
had some rain while salmon fishing.. but it was warm and muggy early this morning.and I take back my no skeeter this summer remark. they are horrid now and at nights I cant even go outdoors around here.

22 this morning. On the way to dropping kids to school, small pond completely locked up with skim ice! Larger pond was 98% open water. At least its a start as the water needs to drop around 8-10 degrees before we even get serious.
-
18deg this morning for me....my bro said in Howard City he had 15deg. Skim ice is a start!
-
Long way to go but found some skim ice on some shallow channels!

-
Just seen a prediction from the weather channel that said above average temps and precipitation for Dec thru Feb. Shaping up to be another iffy ice fishing season, I hate to say.
-
no offense but the weather channel is full of crap, waters are cold up my way, two weeks of cold could change everyones thinking
-
ice will be here when its here I guess.i will keep catching steelhead till its time.
-
I didn't mean to be a doubting Thomas or a negative Nancy or a Debbie downer, I'm gonna fish either way someplace or somewhere, just might not be able to fish the big waters I dream about.
-
Looking at the extended forecast it looks like ice will start to form (and hopefully stay) starting next week Thur Dec. 8, 2016.....the 5 days following it's currently predicted to be below freezing for daytime highs & lows. Here we go ya'll!!

The pontoon came out Monday.....BRING IT!!!!!! :tipup:

-
The couple of deer I've cleaned this year haven't had much fat on them, the leaves have hung on longer that usual too. I can also recall cold November's not equalling cold winters in the past, so I'm pretty sure it all means nothing

-
Currently 38*f here looking at the extended forecast we got snow.. this Sunday and 1to3 inches comeing December 15.. in the extended forcast... hopefully the snow that is coming will cool the lakes off and get them to freeze over...

Hope the snow come before the ice, or will be a real mess!!!
-
Just checked river temp and it was 45.3*f in the st clair river so that means the lake surface temp is about the same?? In lake huron.. any how it is 32*f with a low of 25*f possible tonight..

The weather service has an updated winter prediction for January, with close to average temps in the southern part of the state and below average temps up north. Better than above average.

2 days of 40 and rain and one night of 40 and rain should do some melting. if the winds are strong it should hurt it some too.
the rest of the forecast looks great!

The worst part is I bet the fishing would be fantastic.
-
47* with some lightning and a heavy downpour at times
-
Time to get out the row boat lakes are going to open up sooner or later if there not already.. start jigging them from the boat..
-
thunder,lightning and heavy rain.the lakes around here barely had 4" on them and 2 of it was white crap ice.sucks because I steelhead fish as back up but the rivers are blowing out too.
-
Cretin river it can be good to have rain others it messes with the fishing..like said above
-
47 and rain, pretty sure the shore ice is gonna be shot everywhere, be careful if you decide to fish or go north a couple few hours.
-
59 and about to start screaming again... But a cold spell in its wake...
<°)))>{
-
41 right now a small 3 day cold spell then back to 40's on my ten day forecast all the way to Monday January 23, 2017.. hope that forcast is so far out that it changes..
-
Had 57 for a high last nite , 37 and heavy thunderstorm s now
-
21 and calm where I'm sitting. What a difference a few hours north can make. I'm hoping make it out tomorrow and Saturday.
-
29. Shore ice has blown out 10-15 ft on a couple lakes around town
-
35* now hopefully most of rain is done, last nite and this morning rain totals, .56" rain
-
28 here hi of 30.at least the ice can thicken a little the next 3 days.
-
23 out now, looks like people will be golfing and riding motorcycles next weekend.
-
19 here now, seen a guy on a area lake yesterday
-
these Temps suck. I'll b there by feb 11th. need some cold
-
back to the cold side for a little while. what a roller coaster this has been tho. much below to much above temps. long term looks good for us!

35 and raining in Zeeland. High of 40. Looks like I might have to take a break and hit the river for chrome this weekend.
-
I am going to try and find some ice a little north this weekend. Anything around me in Byron Center will likely be junk by weekend.
-
I don't think we will have any safe ice by the weekend. Im reading reports all across the state of guys going through. The faint glimmer of hope is that the extended forecasts i have seen put the next two weeks below 25 for highs and below zero for lows. If even a little of the ice survives we should be good to go in Feb.
-

33 and foggy. Rising to 50 today
-
36
-
40* in the middle of a heavy downpour
-
51 today and a quarter inch of rain with more in the thunderstorms.
What do you mean by that?
jimmy said he wouldn't go on the ice he saw, but he did see people on that ice. i replied they must be skinny smokers.
i used to smoke and when i did i was skinny. skinny means less weight. less weight means people with less weight can stay on top of bad ice that heavier people are more likely to fall in.
what did you think it meant?
-
what did you think it meant?
Pretty much that.. It's funny, and I asked because..
A fishing buddy and I were talking, how, everyone we know are pretty trim, and in fairly good shape, but we all smoke..
The conversation went on and I wondered who's going die first, both 6ft tall..
1) a smoker that lives an otherwise active and healthy lifestyle..@ 165lbs
2) non smoker eating bacon chips on the couch watching TV @ 280lbs
Wish I didn't smoke, but I think there are even more common worse things people take as normal..
And in one case (thin ice) it's healthier to be a smoker lol..
<°)))>{
-
39 and rain let up finally!
i quit because two packs a day for 33 years of kools and coughing to wake up and go to sleep for 15 minutes first/after was trying to tell me some thing.
so after quitting i put on 35 pounds. i could feel the gut growing before it grew.
those were the days, but life teaches you what you have to do next to survive.
i quit one time and that was 9 years ago. hoping COPD doesn't play catch up next like so many ex smokers get.
i wore 28x36 pants and weighed 138 pounds most of my life. now it's 220! but i'm still here and not coughing any more. pants are 36x30 now tho. so yep, different health issues from either.
i grew up with smokers on tv and magazines and friends and family. it's what every one did. even news casters.
-
That good stuff.. use to smoke to but quit world's getting to pc the way it is.. I think I learned to smoke in high school got some of my cigs from welding teacher in high school as you can see why the world is too pc now.. strike a arc and light up a butt no one even noticed or said any thing .. same with work use to be able to light a butt up on the shop floor now they complain about heath insurance .. even though you weight 350+ lbs eating bacon bugers wile watching t.v. but weight 180 when I smoked anf yup gained some weight quiting hay it happens.. like saId it could be worst you could be dead..
-
I quit smoking a year ago, sure I put on some weight after but I eventually lost it from having an active job and lifestyle. It evens itself out eventually. I'm happy I'm not hacking a lung anymore, but in the end everything is going to kill you no matter what you do.
36 degrees btw lol
-
haha.i thought you were talking crack smokers,crazy to be out on thin ice crack smokers!never smoked a cig in my life,medical is a different story and gave that up to do to anxiety.helps for rhumetoid/psoaratic arthritis joint pain but I cant handle the anxiety.lol
-

-
I've had fun the few times I've been out this season, but it's been pretty underwhelming for the most part. Reminds me of a bad movie that I keep watching over and over again. Hopefully a few more outings are in-store

I'd love to see a mid-february morel. Your lookers will get some great practice that's for sure lol Time in the woods on a nice day is always worth it though.

Indian summer?? I hope ?? Ya it's a tad warm but have you seen the extended for cast 64 the high and 45ish the low for two weeks stright starting Wednesday or Thursday next week.. seem like there's hope??
-
that cool down sounds good. but we need some rain to go with that cool weather.
-
Did get a much needed 1/3" rain over the past couple hours but it's supposed to be even warmer tomorrow and stay in the 90's until we're maybe back to around normal(?) Tuesday/Wednesday. Bet there will be a sticky fog in the morning.
-
96* here, no ice in sight, other than the ice in my glass!!
-
Currently 91*f feels like 93*f starting Wednesday this week we got a temp drop for at least two week stright.. starting September 27,2017.. tell you one thing went fishing early am the fish were hiding deep cause waters so warm...buddy had one bass suck the scales off his bait.. in the deep and that was it for the rest of the morning.. you can tell the fish don't like this heat.. any more then I do..
-
Another 92+ day here again !!
-
Touched 94* Saturday, only supposed to reach 92* on Sunday, at least the humidity has dropped a little
-
Today and Tonight
Record heat, with highs into the lower and mid 90s, is expected
this afternoon across most of the area. Heat index values will be
in the mid 90s during this afternoon at most locations inland of
Lake Michigan. Those numbers are in the Extreme Caution Zone on
the National Weather Service Heat Index chart. If you plan to
spend time outside this afternoon consider some heat related
safety precautions.
-
Took a road trip today and 92 in charlotte Michigan !!

91 here right now!! Didn't even need a road trip!! ;)
-
its killing the salmon run..low water and too hot for the fish and me.it sucks big time fishing in this weather.fish are turning into boots in a few days and some are just belly up floating dead already.i can see if it was late October for them to get ugly and die but they are dying before they even starting spawning.

-
Looks like it's going to be wet and snowy for michigan.. according to this forecast which is a good thing for michigan.. cause I am welcoming winter this year..we need a good freeze that I think will happen with this weather.. cause when snow dumps in the lakes.. snow helps cool it faster and insulation will help keep it longer.. but hopefully not keep it from freezing ... cause insulation can go bolth ways.. any how see for your self see what you think.. see link ..
https://www.google.com/amp/s/articles.mlive.com/weather/index.ssf/2017/10/noaa_winter_forecast_screams_o.amp (https://www.google.com/amp/s/articles.mlive.com/weather/index.ssf/2017/10/noaa_winter_forecast_screams_o.amp)
-
sounds like they don't know what's up. so long as it's a better ice season than last year. i bought an auger extension because we had over 22 inches of ice not that long ago and it is still in the package because i needed it back then, but didn't get it til later.
" In NOAA's winter forecast, Michigan lies in a region where temperatures are not pointing in a certain direction. NOAA actually gives Michigan an equal chance of having normal, colder than normal or warmer than normal temperatures.
The interesting part of Michigan's winter forecast is the expectation of a storm track through the Ohio Valley. A storm center moving through the Ohio Valley puts Michigan on the cold side of the storm, meaning snow. It also would put Michigan in the heaviest swath of snow with any given storm.
If storm systems often take a track through the Ohio Valley this winter, Michigan will get plenty of snow. Michigan could also get plenty of slop with the expected track. Slop would be wet snow, freezing rain, sleet and rain. "
-
plenty of snow.....plenty of slop
Looks like my tractor will earn its keep in the snow removal department
-
Yup snow removal .. I hope the lake are not frozen yet with the first heavy snow and hope like heck they freeze shut with it.. for a good three months .. if you rember that year with the winter vortex?? It had tons of snow here In michigan .. but the lakes froze early .. so will see what happens .. hopeing for another polar vortex .. lol's my self want to get out on erie..

28*f currently wind nw at 2 mph currently increaseING to 20 mph over night and dropping yo 16*f over night...
Also just got done clearing the drive already got two more inches on it .. within one hour of doing it..
By the way snow can pe postive this early in season.. because once thin ice cracks it make ice thicker... when it refezees in a week or two this happened to me about 15 years ago we got 3 to 4 inches of fresh ice then bam... we got hit with 18 inches of fresh snow... wich the weight Cracked ice and made ice thicker.. but there is down side to snow one it's s insulator the other is it hides fault in ice!! so be sure to use your spuds every one!! So be carefull cause the ice can be thicker in one spot thinner in another.. this is were a spud will guide ya..
-

9' in the Irish Hills. 4" or so of fluffy snow.
-
7 degrees and 5 inches of snow. i took care of that last night and have 1 1/2 from overnight .
Not complaining by any means, but other than flurries, no snow here !! Yeah
sounds like another season of state line fishing. a buddy will be checking gilead friday.
-
6 degrees and about 5 inches of snow.enough snow to dig out the snowmobile for the 1st time this year and let my daughter tear it up.

Let us know what he finds on Gilead. Thanks

This upcoming week they say it will hit 40! Because it is so early yet do you guys think it will be better in the final result? Getting rid of all the snow then refreezing? Or loosing everything we have gained?
-
Won't come close to getting rid of all the snow... Will surely whomp our the shore ice though and make for sketchy conditions
-
I'm wanting warmer daytime temps.it will melt some snow so some ice can be made..night time temps will still make ice.theres not enough ice around here to wreck.
-
I don't know where you are, but for Lansing area it looks like starting Sunday we'll get two or three days where the temp doesn't get below freezing but doesn't get above 40. They're not calling for rain. I think this will be okay. It won't get rid of all the snow, but it will reduce it and when we get back into cold temps it will refreeze into good ice. It will not take out much of the ice we have gained so far. Remember, snow is an insulator. It slows ice creation when we get cold temps, but it also protects ice if it gets warm.
-
Out further will be ok but any shore ice will get smoked by runoff.... But you are right it should be better in the long run
-
Two days is not going to do any thing to ice.. with the shorter days and longer nights.. think of it as nature's zamboni and it will be better later on.. melts some of the snow off the ice if any thing so it freezes better..
-
9:49 am 33 F and sunny
-
36 here sun peeking thru
-
32 here with about 8 inches of snow.
-
36 here in A2, was out yesterday fished in 3 fow, 50 yds out was as far as I dare venture. However 2 inches of clear ice and 2 inches snow pack ice. 3 Solid spud whacks. Now a little farther out, whacks were one and through.
-
38' Here in the Hills, and it is raining.
-
29 with a light snow. Suppose to warm up to the mid 30s.
-Kyle
-

-
46* and windy

45..picking up things out of the yard that I missed during the 1st snow.was able to get to my wood pile and load my garage full before the next cold blast.
-
Good to hear you got the rest of your "chores" done Dr. Speckler. I'm down state in Lake Orion for the weekend.... looks like more snow hitting the weekend. The little body of water my folks live on still is locked with ice after the warm snap. The positive is all the snow is clear of the ice. We shall see how it goes.
-Kyle

23* here

-
Waa Hoo ! We should be on all the early freezers before this time next week. My home lake on Allegan/Van Buren county line mostly retained thin ice coverage thru the thaw. Awesome prospects for the next few weeks

News said -7...got going down the road and thought something was wrong when my truck said -19! Eventually "warmed" up to -12 by the time I got to the office...LOL. Was thinking about taking the morning off tomorrow to fish but with these temps I'm not sure it's worth it.
-
-4 this morning near jackson
-
-3 here . Be careful what you wish for.
-
Bring it on! The longer the negative and single degree temps stay, the better the chance our ice isn't touched during the inevitable 2-week January thaw.
Keep the snow away, and keep bringing on the cold. Lake Erie will be ready to roll soon!
-
Lake Erie will be ready to roll soon!
I have been seeing some FB chatter on Erie....people are getting super excited.
-
-5 in Pinckney mi. I think I can hear the ice freezing!
-
negative 2 at 10am.
. Don’t get ur hands wet !
that's great advise!
keep a towel nearby in case they do get wet.
a tip- i use my scoop spoons and marked one inch increments on both sides of it so you don't have to measure using your hands like so many do. i just scratched the marks (straight lines, no numbers needed) into it and used a marker and marked inside the scratches. on the hook side i started measuring where the end of the hook is and on the opposite side i used the spoon to start measurements. then use one side or the other to hook on the bottom edge of the hole.

Heat wave, not complaining, up to 11* here

They don't make plastic like they use to do they?? ;D. J/k.. worst part is 90%of most modern cars trucks are plastic.. boy we did not think about that.. at least ford kinda was doing some thinking on there f150 with the aluminum bodies.. cause aluminum don't rust.. it turns to white powder from oxidization.. but don't rust like steel does .. and if it starts to get white powder on surface it could take 100 years just to rot the pannel out.. so much for chevy and there bed claims now.. plus on the saftey side.. those rusted out crumple points are no more in a accident meaning more life's saved.. hopefully replacing the engine is easy on the 150.. cause that body will last for ever unlike mine .. then there is dodge at least there making them better now adays.. not like in the 60's as my dad says they were junk then ...
any how it's a whole 0*f right now and feels like -14*f with wind chill going down to -6*f tonight so hopefully it don't wreck the ice next Thursday when that warm rain and so get here..
-
1F° at M59 & 96 with no wind. Time to make the donuts
-
-6*f@ kent lake..
-
-14 in Cedar Rock
-
with the 40's warm up for next week and rain, it should help remove the snow cap and let us fish local again after that.
-
I had -33F air temp just outside Grayling this morning, but most of the area was a balmy -25F.
-
-2* last real cold nite they say
-

Warm and humid here .. lol's waiting for that temp drop to relocate ice but hopeing gor no more snow!!
-
Currently 49 here foggy
-
44 heavy fog.snow is slippery as all get out.shanty dragging is going to be easy now.
-
45 and breezy.... Tomorrow's winds will melt some ice but should be good to go after that....
-
53 and rising. strong winds with gusts to 24 and 80% rain of up to 1/4".
5:40am calhoun.

18* here and another 2” snow !
-
3* light snow
-
7 here.another warm up coming to melt the snow down again.about 4 inches of snow now.its becoming a pretty good ice season so far.
-
Half inch of rain coming Sunday. The last round of warm and rain blew out the shore ice on my local lake
-
man it was a blessing here, it melted over a ft of snow and left 4 to 5 inches of hard ice when the water on top froze.hard black ice too.
-
1/20 was 38 out fishing day time and went to 36 at nite time (land temps). the solar rays are making just enough of a difference for keeping holes open in daytime and keep water from freezing on the line guides.
once the sun is gone the frost sets in and so does the freezing on the guides and ice holes from the ice plate making the air on the lake colder than land temps.
it's fun to be part of it.
-
Have 40 and cloudy at the house now, say 3/4” rain on the way, that’s no good !!
-
here's an ice melter forecast.
Monday
Rain before 8am, then showers between 8am and 11am, then rain after 11am. Areas of fog before 11am. High near 47. East wind 7 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.
today is another great day to be on a lake!
-
Hopefully Wednesday will be able to repair some of the damage done until then.
But it's right back to warm after Wednesday too.
Consistent temps back below freezing aren't predicted until February 2nd. 5 days between now and then will be around 45-50 degrees
-
41' Here, along with a thunderstorm!! :(
-
same here.if I was going to worry about the ice,its now.no snow protecting it and above freezing day and night.but I don't fret over it because I cant predict the future.ice will survive or it wont..ive got steelhead fishing as backup.
-
Balmy 50 here, snow gone, light rain on and off
-
48 here now, not good as ice is getting fried by the sun!!
-

Got up to 49* about 11pm last nite , been holding at 46* and windy since

The future forecast looks promising, think I might skip fishing this weekend to work on stuff and eat some frozen fish.

-
Doc what is "centerpinning" I've heard the term but haven't been able to figure out what it is...I know it is used for steelies so I figured you'd know
-
Doc what is "centerpinning" I've heard the term but haven't been able to figure out what it is...I know it is used for steelies so I figured you'd know
fly rod fishing. it's what they call the fly rod reel in short.
-
58* here this morning , still raining, 2.24” since started !!
-
Doc what is "centerpinning" I've heard the term but haven't been able to figure out what it is...I know it is used for steelies so I figured you'd know
centerpin fishing is not fly rod fishing fwiw.its a large arbor reel that has no drag but spins on a pin with 2 bearing inside.it lets you present your bait at the exact river speed.the reel free spins in the current at the exact speed the river is flowing making your presentation as natural as can be.mainly for float/jig fishing for salmon/steelhead.my reel will spin for 10 minutes with a good crank on the handle.we use longer rod say 11ft 6 to 15ft to keep the line mended and off the water so the float doesn't drag.these guys were my inspiration to start pinning and show a great example of center pinning.
-
3 more inches of rain on the way for today and tonight. we are in a flood warning.
thanks for the explanation of center pin fishing. seems a fly reel could do the same if you release the drag.
-
So it's slip bobber fishing with extremely long rods and goofy giant in line reels.... Whatever catches fish man lol.... Looks expensive tho... I got a boat but idk if it can handle fast currents it's only a 3 horsepower and these horses aren't too speedy in the water lol

You don't need a giant reel just a float/drift spinning rod and reel my float fishing set up is a 9 foot 6 inch okuma Celio salmon steel rod.. in a medium light action good for 6 to 12 pound test.. lures 1/8 to 1/2 ounce.. total cost $40... as for reels I got a shimano sedona I use for fishing I got three c5000 that work awesome for it.. loaded with 12 pound mono iam sure you can get away with a 4000 size shimano no problems.. I just go bigger then needed .. even Pfluger good reels to do this with .. then all you need is bobbers jigs and lead shot and hooks if throwing spawn.. and some waxies leaders etc I use 6 and 8 number for steel and 10 and 12 for salmon ..
I have been fishing the wall so have not float fished in probably 3 years
This is a Alantic I cought last week end fishin the wall.. but if you want to steel head float fishing is the way to go this time of year.. that or drift flies

Feels like we should still be on the ice. Oh well, been hitting the river for Steelhead since ice out.
Good luck to everyone! Warmer weather should be on the way I think.....

Over the 90* heardle dont see any more 90 * days in the 15 day for cast all are low 80's high 70's the lakes going to flip soon.. should bring the fall fish in early?? Hopefully ..
-
A nice 55* this morning. Hopefully the air conditioner gets a rest for a few days. We got a real surprise yesterday around noon NE of Howard City. A 20+ minute heavy down pour. The first real rain fall in quite a while.
-
An absolutely beautiful morning. Same for us, storm blew thru and dumped some rain. Thew gutters could not keep up.
-Kyle
-
Very nice morning but dry as a desert around here.corn is shriveled and brown,lawns are fried.rivers are low too.need a few days of rain.
-
Cooler this morning which is a welcomed turn of events - still no significant rain, but the weekend forecast shows some promise as we definitely can use it. Like Doc said, the corn is hurting, lawns are toasted brown, and the river where I'm at is as low as ever for July. I do enjoy the warm weather months, but I truly do prefer walking outside hearing crunchy snow instead of this crunchy grass...
-
Is it me? But are the days getting shorter and nights cooler??
-
Its almost 80 here still at 7:40pm.to damn muggy.i wish it would rain for 2 or 3 days and cool off the river,bring water levels up too..

From saturday night to sunday night there calling for rain and thunder around here labor day week end so it should keep the rafters / floaters off the river a little depending ware you are and cool off is more then welcome..
-
It looks like some fast moving storms coming on shore right now. From Big rapids to SW of Muskegon. Southern Mason county might be getting some rain for a change.
-
Is it me? But are the days getting shorter and nights cooler??
longest day was 15 hours and 15 minutes. it's down to 13 hours and 19 minutes.
-
50 Deg on my way to work this morning. Snow in Montana, N. Dakota. Possible snow in the UP this weekend. Deer Season a month away, I would say the countdown will be starting for some. For me, right after gun season I start my planning and equipment prepping.

40* this AM, nice and crisp, clouds looked like they're ready to snow lately. Talking near 80* again mid week, small dreams are a nice change of pace, in reality it's early but worth a comforting thought.
-
83* today, still picking peppers, cukes and tomatoes

Heard some fairy tale on the local new channel that it snowed in the upper peninsula last night?? Can any one confirm this??

-
Water is 42' at the dock.

Well, the cold is coming but...still takes about a week of 15* or less at night w/ no wind or snow...and that's on the shallower, near spring free lakes. There's a couple of them around me that qualify but fish quality is poor.

I had to break almost an inch of ice with a rock this morning in my live well that I for got to drain. I had to use a wrecking bar to o pull the plug as it was froze in.
-
Sorry to hear that Tom boat ok?
A pond I passed by had skim ice forming on it man these temps got my blood flowing for some ice fishing..
-
No damage to the live well but I had a dang cold arm from trying to get the drain plug out.
-
I see a skim of ice out there!!
-
Good to hear Tom cause it could be expensive if it put a hole in the boat cause ice expands..
Side note grounds not frozen yet had to dig a deep hole this am.. cause we're having to put down a dog ..
-
sorry about your friend chilly :(
-
Thanks 3300 not much we can do at this point she has tumor lumps every ware.. and last night fell out our door wall and down the steps like there is a mass that by her brain now.. she stumbles around walking when she does I have to carry her to the bathroom etc etc.. dont want her suffering any more so we know it her time ..

Has been 23 here all day and is 15 now. I went to Cadillac this morning and went past a large lake that has a decent size bay by the road. The main part of the lake is open but the bay was froze all the way across with snow sitting on top of it. Beaver pond on the back of my land has been frozen for almost a week
-
16 in Livingston county skim ice on a lot of lakes this morning! Might be able to get out on a pond or canal by mon-tues
-
16* here also, looking good !!!
-
20 Calhoun county
-
16 in Livingston county.
-
Checking on the statewide webcams I am seeing ice as far south as Coldwater Lake. The lack of wind lately producing some thin ice.
-
24 in the Irish Hills. Skim ice on the lake.
-
Looks like a inch of snow covered ice on the pound by me currently 30*f till tonights low of 23*f hopefully will get out on the shallows soon!!
-
28* here this morning . Calling for a slight warm up over Thanksgiving then then "significantly" :-\ colder the 1st week of December. Just hope the snow stays away.
-
Skiff Lake is locked up.28 degrees.
-
25 this morning. Howard city
Looking like making ice all this week. Hoping the 40's change next week like they did this week. Might be in business
-
Guess I'm gonna have to find me a small lake to fish. The three big lakes I fish just are not ready yet.
-
Oh man! Forecast has changed next week!
-
I noticed big and better changes for Gogebic and improvement all around the state; this is killing me!
-
I know can't wait!!!!
-
1 degree here now. Most all the lakes are ice covered with some of the smaller ones fishable. There was someone on HL day before yesterday but the ice was layered in east bay. There is no snow on the ice and t is slick
-
It was -4 just east of Grayling this morning so it should have been making good ice all night. Moon was out bright last night with no snow. Will go out later to check Margrethe and see how it looks. Got a call from my fishing bud from Gaylord and he said Otsego Lk. is frozen all the way across.

I seen on the TV you had -6 Wednesday night the cold's spot in Michigan. Here at Otsego lake we had -5 and the lake frozen over at 1"to1"1/2 thick ay 60/70 feet out. Did not fish yet.
-
39 in South Branch
-
39* here. Bad news...calling for a fair amount of snow today and tomorrow with low temps not getting much below 20* in the next several days. Good news...no ice on the lakes yet (at least in this area) so the snow can't ruin what isn't there. Just have to be patient...long range is still calling for cold weather in Dec. and Jan. Fingers crossed.
-
Currently 20 here with warmup on the way for weekend
-
37° But my ten day forecast looks promising starting Monday.
-
38° and raining switching to snow shortly... We need some below 20s asap
-

I completely agree. Let's get some ice going here.
-
19 when I left for work this morning and below normal temps around us for the rest of the week. Our pond opened back up a little with the rain and wind but did retain some ice.
-
Reports are looking favorable for the next week or so. Minimum snow and below freezing.

Yessir...if weather holds true we "might" find some fishable ice next weekend on some of the early freezing lakes. But as always... ***USE EXTREME CAUTION***
-
20* here this am
-
It is 15 here and we got 4 inches of snow over night.
-
5° here right now.
About to hit the ice with the ice with the wife for the 9th trip of the year already.
About 6” in some spots.
-
19* here
-
9° glorious degrees. ;D
-
18 Degrees here. Skiff Lake is locked up.
-
11.6* here I’ll be in ice today
-
32 here got a little rain last nite
-
19 here this morning and a wintery mix last night made the truck look like a glazed donut and froze the garage door to the floor. The end of next week is not looking very good, if the rain stays away or is just enough to clear the snow and maintains 20's for over night lows we should maintain current ice conditions.

My thoughts too. Was out on a couple of lakes the past couple days...2-4" of good black ice. Rain is going to be cold and will freeze at night. And cold enough sub-surface to continue making ice. Heard it thumping all the while I was out. Disclaimer...I'm the eternal optimist. ;)
-
Supposed to be in the upper 30's the next four days. Not good for making ice. :%$#!:
-
Im thinking its safer for me to go steelhead fishing in my boat than get on sketchy ice now.not much of ice making temps in the forecast.im past the point in life where im taking chances of falling in on thin ice.its just fish..im patiient and will icefish when its time.
-
mid to low 40's for the next four days in a row and more for the middle of next week. my ice fishing gear is staying where i left it from last season until the temps stay steady.
-
Get ur kayaks out 40° 💩
-
38* currently, cloudy all day here, lakes still mainly capped, not safe I would guess!!
-
Looks like after wednesday alls well... Good ice making temps.... Hopefully ill be on saginaw bay by new years
-
35° did some checking this am. Shore ice is feeling the effects of this moderate weather.
-
26* Her at Otsego Lake right now
-
Be cautious, one fatality in Indiana last week, rescue in the UP the week before that. These things happen for early and late ice and one time is too often.
-
Had 19 here this am, 29 now ice is there but nobody attempting, just not enough , around new years looks good though. But that’s a long way off to change forecast !!
-
42 currently and light rain, not good, might be looking north. I see a cool down coming around first of year
-
32 now was down to 26 last nite, there are lakes that are still capped in the area but not safe in my opinion !
-
Looks like lots of cold in the future cast... 29° here now.... Hopefully be oon good ice by new years day
-
I have christmas to take care of like everybody else, then the last week of Dec. off to deer camp, then according to accuweather, I think it will be ice time
-
Down to 21 overnite, currently26
-
This weekend is calling for highs near 50* with rain and wind ...gonna pretty much take care of what little ice we have...gonna get out tomorrow before it hits. However, the following weekend the bottom is supposed to drop out so get ready. Might be good everywhere by the 2nd weekend .
-
Took a ride to Higgins Lake, and there is thin ice out about 100' then open water.
-
Currently 29*f on December 29th.. going from warm 54*f to cold 20 to 30*f is a big temp drop and seems to hold for the next week or two for below freezing temp...wich could be a good sign of what's to come.. as in hard water..

-
Here is some thing you guys are not going to want to hear.. 2 to 6 inches of snow coming January 19th saturday there goes the ice for a while.. but it may insulate what we have?? the weight may Crack the good ice so be carefull when gets here..
-
my weather app says 1-3" for my area on the 19th. it's over a week out, any thing can happen by then.
-
a week of these temps and the ice should be ok to handle a little snow
-
27 here, might be able to handle where you are at , but we only have skim ice here
-
my weather app says 1-3" for my area on the 19th. it's over a week out, any thing can happen by then.
Its coming out of North east so any thing in land is 1-3 inches from our easten boarder of the state ..
-
Calling for single digit lows NEXT Sunday and Monday. :thumbsup:
-
Down to 3* finally !!
-
Had -1 this morning
-
32 here and snowing
-
Pounds around here are frozen about to take a drive to check some lakes!!
-
my weather app says 1-3" for my area on the 19th. it's over a week out, any thing can happen by then.
Guess I was right today's the 19th?? Lols I am glad I warned every one?? Cause they can start there snow throws before it gets here.. a clogged carb would have ruined some one day. .. heart attacks shoveling snows not fun..
How's the ice doing with this snow?? From what I am reading is its going to be -4*f around here tonight..
.
-
16 here now, hit the snow forecast right on , if day we got 6-8”, seen a guy check ice at a public access near and was 3-4” slush on top. Lot of snow on ice, these winds will do little to take it off
-
With the temps were getting the slush should make thicker ice quick?? We're the water poured threw the cracks ..
-
It will but scattered spots, if the whole lake was slush, which it is under the snow that would be great but that’s not the case. I would say that lake has “slush” showing in about 20% of the surface
-
A lot of lakes were open water maybe it filled in those spots cooling water some leaving sluah ?? Let's look at it glass half full for now.. lol's. all i am is just glad Ice got here and am happy about it at that!
-
I see this lake every day , was completely frozen
-
Maybe the snow weight causeing water to come threw pressure cracks in ice?? Have had that happen on several lakes on several occations.
-
9° with a 25mph wind.... Its cold.... I hope the little ice on the bay withstands these winds i wanna catch a perch soon
-

Heads up about late ice dangers: cause of changing weather..
From now till Feb 21 is cold temps in mid 20's and lows in the high teens.. but from Feb 21 to 27 is a warm up.. the number flipped from what I just said to a high of mid to high 30's.. for the daily highs to lows in the mid to upper 20's ..
Just a heads up i was out on a lake it started spider web cracking.. this was cause it was not cold enough.. the ice was not expanding any more.. as in making new ice.. wich this makes easier to fall threw cause of... there maybe a week or more to fish and great fishing at that cause of the temp warm up turn fishing on.. but also letting you guys know the dangers of late ice at this point.. so it's at your own risk!! Me I don't have a death wish!! so i am planning to stay off ice around town.. I even heard sone one went threw on sag bay?? So just suggesting caution.. as for me i am better safe then sorry staying off ice..
Those temps were for south east michigan Ludington is around a week or two behind this.. and the upper Peninsula is 3 to 4 weeks behind south east michigan.. just another heads up about hard shacks might want to start considering getting them off the ice?? Depending ware your at?? And use a hub or a flip for remainder of season ..
-
Calling for gust at 50 mph on Monday .. this weekend might be last trip out for the year?? just a heads up so go whole you can..
-
Had 11° here this am and wind finally died down !!
-
82*f for today's high north wind and sunny ..
-
Got to 90 here today...... Felt like 900....
-
Well that's a good thing. Every action has a oppsite and equal reaction! At the oppsite end of the spetrum of summer is winter.. that's why I Love seeing 97* summer days.. not just 90* high temp days! The winters that were bad were only 70 to 80 for the highest part of summer.. granted this is not the hottest month.. august is considered hotest cause of the temps July built up in the water and the soil etc.. when the earth backs off heading towards fall from the sun.. it releases that stored energy from water/steam and soil/heat. That is why august feels hotter then july.. cause more condensation and different dew points etc.. then that of july.. I am just glad we're almost over that hill and on our way to fall!
-
Boy ice sure feels a long way off... Especially with triple digit temps coming at the end of this week.... But its not long now boys and girls
-
90 thursday 97 friday and 95 saturday not pleasent .. but a good sign cause every action gets a equal and oppsite reaction.
Like every year we had a 90+*f summer it had awesome ice in winter every time we has a under welming summer we had bad winter.. got to think what's on that oppsite end of spetrum of winter.. lol's I say it's summer and god bless this heat cause when winter gets here will have ice!
-
Amen brother..... Summer of 2015 was rough and then the winter was the harshest in decades.... We drove trucks 12 miles out onto the bay that year on 18+ inches of ivlce the whole way.... Praying for that again
-
Got down to the mid 50s last night..... I feel the fall breeze blowiing in now.... Pretty soon ill be perched in a tree ordering jigs online for the impending ice around the corner!!!
-
Sitting around fixing boats.. working with steel.. and waiting for water temp to fall for the fall fish to come back . Till then should be hunting sEason on top of the fall fishing so I will be keeping my self bussy till then..
-
Yea fishing is slow now unless you are after cats or on the big water..... Too many yahoos on jet skis and sport boats mucking up the waters i like to fish...
-
The water temperature at the dock is down to 78 from 83. Get ready here comes winter!!!! LOL
-
Lakes have fliped it's fall get your arses out and fall fish and hunt soon.
-

-
36° after the warm up monday it should be makin ice
-
I am going fishing tomorrow. Had fresh walleyes from last weekend for supper yesterday
e
-
Lake erie at the michigan end I am reading are in the high 30's as in 36 to 38 *f should be perch near shore and walleye steel head are up in the huron river last I heard
Sag bay is 34 to 38 degree too so ice is not far away.. it those pockets of 40 to 48 *f on these lakes that are keepin walleye out further from shore then last year around this time..
On Side note the avarge wind direction has been south west so I am assuming the wind will be pradomment north west wind come winter... causimg the northern cold air jet stream to dip over michigan so assuming ice will be as far south as southren ohio and Indiana this year and good freeze on great lakes for fishing..
This jet stream dips over the dakotas ect out west on a north west wind it will puch the jet stream over michigan.. this is a added bonus.. but don't thing will have fishable ice on great lakes till january 15 minimum thinking in canals to the great lakes in south east michigan?

Local weather just showed highs in the 20's, lows in the teens near the end of next week. If the snow stays away 🤔

Son is fishing today. 3 1/2"
Where?
-
I'm be looking around the line tomorrow. Should be able to find ice where it was last time. Been cold enough at the state line for a few days. Low teens tonight will be making ice!
As far as asking where goes I don't think you're going to get and replies with so little skinny ice out there. Not safe and even less safe when the crowd shows up.
-
I heard people were creeping out on 3-4 inches on sag bay.... I need a hair more than that for the bay....
-

C'mon. Somebody says somebody was on 3.5" somewhere in Michigan. That means nothing. It would be helpful to give a general idea of where. Mention county, around the line, sag bay. That's all good. Please don't give me this condescending crap about a crowd showing up. We're all trying to get general ideas about ice conditions.
-
The point is that there is 3.5" south of the border in Indiana (in very isolated areas of some lakes) and there's still jacksicles going through the ice on Houghton. When the conditions are like this which county the guy is in has nothing to do with it. If you want an general idea of the ice conditions from Fort Wayne Indiana to Grayling MI, it is SKETCHY! North of Grayling there is SOME good ice.
A general idea on ice conditions will get you wet without a spud bar and even then you might get wet. Be safe!

In absolute all seriousness this is the most accurate ice report I’ve heard all season.

I’ve been out twice this season and the first time was before Christmas. The last time was 3 days ago before a bunch of snow came. Ice was still 3-4 inches and that’s on small water. I don’t think I have to say it hasn’t been by choice. Add the snow and “general” advice can make for a real bad day especially if you're just hunting for a location with zero knowledge of the water someone told you was “safe”. Hope those 3.5 inches aren’t covering springs.
Not to mention most users have their locations posted underneath their usernames. That’s pretty darn “general” if you ask me.
-
It’s 17 degrees by the way :tipup:
-
Where?
Branch county, if you look around, you'll find some

17 degrees, South Central MI. It always cracks me up when I go out the check the ice with my inexpensive spud, and I see where someone is checking the thickness with a much more expensive auger. Unaware of thickness, because standing over it pushing down cutting a 4"-6" hole won't weaken that 2" ice at all.

Thanks CW. It seems you guys down there are in better shape than we are. Today I looked at a few lakes (didn't go out onto them) in Waterloo-Pinckney area and nobody was on them, no tracks showing anybody had been out. A few people had spudded holes not far from shore and it looked to be about 3" of crappy ice. Some lakes had wet spots. I'm not going to try it and won't until we get some good hard cold nights and days.

Was at the cottage in Irish Hills this past weekend.
Weather was gorgeous. Temps in the mid to upper 70s.

Looks like some colder weather is moving in next. Not cold enough for ice...but colder. Heard there was some ice on lakes in the U.P. Fingers crossed it won't be TOO long.

Pulled the dock out last weekend. Beautiful weather for that. Pulled the tin boat out of the water yesterday and had to break up the skim ice to get it away from the bank to get it on the trailer. Won't be long now. The shallows on our lake held ice all day yesterday. I don't like to wait until the last minute to pull the boat out. :)

pulled mine out on 12/12. It had been locked in for a week. The rain on Saturday gave me a break. Today it's locked back up. This is the latest I've ever left it in and I got lucky. But the fishing has been great! Bring on the ice!
