Went fishing on saturday - 23 degrees out - had ice in the bucket and the ground was even staring to firm up. Could be a nice early year for us it looks like.

Some years down here, if it gets cold early it warms back up and we lose our ice. I hope that doesn't happen.
I live in the midwest now but have fond memories of fishing in New England as a kid.

Jim, I'm north of you about 120 miles and I hope we don't have another like last year.  Very late getting on the ice.
Shut up and fish.
