Weather man said low of 16F on Wed night!! That should get things started!

Hoping to get a trip in up north in a few weeks.

  ??? ::) Forecast for Littleton shows 6  days of well below freezing providing
66  Freezing Degree Days!!  At 15 FDD per inch of ice than I should have over 4 inches of ice on small ponds by next Monday!  :o    Why is it that I don't believe that??
But I will send in my order for wax worms and maggots soon :tipup: :tipup:

Oh the talk of early ice seems so exciting but let’s also hope it doesn’t follow with “oh let’s try this out” seems we always have to focus on the importance of safety!! So please guys let’s be safe

 :tipup: :tipup: Perry,  usually   fish for perch and crappie but wax worms and maggots have taken trout and bass.   They make all lures taste better to fish.
