we still have ice?
« on: Feb 21, 2016, 07:41 PM »
Been in Florida for a week enjoying a little vacation with the wife and get back next weekend... So do we still have ice or is my season over now? I haven't kept up on weather, but what I have seen in ND has been quite warm.

I know some guys who are still walking out, 18 inches of ice per their report on the big lake by Garrison and Crooked Lake. I take kids with me so all this warm weather makes me nervous so I've started packing up and getting my summer stuff ready.

The Missouri river is mostly open and NDGF is opening the ramps today so they can be used.
In the Bismarck area.

I get my new FLX-28 today - i might try swinging out to Harmon Lake this weekend just to give it a try - hopefully its still good, i'll have to drag the spud bar out with me - they're talking 60 degrees on Saturday now.

That's what I was planning too for Sat evening. Fingers crossed those shorelines are still intact by then.

A 12' 2x10 will get you on and off even if it hits 60
30 extra seconds can turn the worst day fishing to the best

East of 83 the ice is still pretty good.  West and south of the river is rapidly approaching shot and with today looking to be around 60 and tomorrow possibly being around 70 that's going mess up what ice that is left.

Low 70's in bismarck right now so needless to say that's not doing the ice any favors!
