Fortunately, I don't get ice fever until there is ice. Then I spend the hour or so to get all my stuff ready, and go.

This morning, with no ice anywhere, I drove down to Naples Creek and did a little rainbow trout fishing instead. The first time I've fished there in December in about 25 years. The water was about perfect after a day long rain. No one else was fishing. I expected to come home empty handed, but came home with a limit instead. Sadly the limit is now one fish per day when it had been three. it was a beautiful 20" male. Too bad I did not have a camera with me. Fishing in Naples Creek has been steadily declining for the last 40 years. With spring coming earlier every year, the April 1st opener has become a bad joke on the many fishermen who still throng there hoping to catch one.

Gonna be laid up from surgery for a few weeks at the end of December, plenty of time to sit on the couch and get my gear ready! Maybe I will get a new X67C in my Christmas stocking this year...

I'm looking at you, Santa!

Just finished planning a trip for the 21st. Got the report this morning of skim ice from shore to shore on a secret spot. With temps barely going above freezing from now to then and quite a few days in a row without getting above freezing it should be good. This lake holds northerns eyes Lakers and perch and has never been ice fishedd. If you guess it ill tell you. But you wont as this lake barelygets fished open water. Not sure too many people know about it. Hint adirondacks.

Go north and to high elevations and you'll have fishable ice next weekend. Buddy walked out onbthe ice at lake x last night when he was passing on his way to camp. Too sketchy for us to fish but with cold temps there from now too next weekend its going to be on.

not yet, but after new years I will if Oneida Lake hasn't froze.
