Accuweather 15 day forecast looks promising for ice making. The last couple days of January and first of Febuary look good. I got to get out if only to test new equipment. Got a Fish Trap Pro, LX-3 and misc. other new ice toys. With the holidays coming I blew the early ice. Who would have thought January was going to be such a krapper! Lets all think positive again.

Thanks for the hope fhsww48.

I hope it does happen. We will need more than a couple days of good cold nights and I also seen the 15 day, but the winds are supposed to be in the 20 to 30 mph range.

At least the few lakes that still have ice will start to build ice for the prespawn fishing. Hopefully, everything will tighten up, but it's a long shot on the big lakes in the Southeast, due to the wind that always seems to come with the artic shots. My fingers are crossed! Rally cap on, etc.

I hate fishing in the wind. You can't watch

in a clam. Jigging around here stinks unless your at blachard. Next weekend should be better.

I may head out to Black Moshannon. Latest report said 6 inches. I am waiting for a report from a buddy that went up today. Friends are going to Jean on Sunday, but I can't go.

I hope accuweather is right.

The graphic above shows the AccuWeather.com temperature outlook for February. It indicates a return of cold air, especially from the Great Lakes to the Northeast. Normal temperatures are expected for a broad area from the northern Rockies to the Southeast, where it has been above normal for the past several weeks. From the southern Rockies to California, temperatures should run somewhat above normal.

Ice nutter where is black moshannon?

Icenutter · « **Reply #8 on:** Jan 20, 2006, 06:19 PM »

It's about 20 or 25 minutes south of Sayers Dam. I believe it is RT 504 off of Old Rt. 220. It is way up on top of the mountain. About 2,000 feet and it holds ice incredibly well. It is not one of my favorite lakes, but it has ice. Check the report boards or try this. http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/blackmoshannon.aspx

It sounds like lake jean, hardly any fish but they have ice. I think those lakes that are 2000 ft plus are very prone to acid rain. Therefore I don't think that they have a very good fish population. Keep me posted on any changes.

I'll take a whole month of temps like that. Everybody else got to enjoy the warm weather in January, now it's time for payback. LOL

hithole · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 21, 2006, 07:31 PM »

Bean, I don't think a whole month. I think that after that week we will be good to go at most lakes. Maybe not blanchard but rose valley and jean, which me rv and bcjensen hit today, 9" today will be good to go most of next week. Met spud up there today, that was cool. Few pearch and a few pics, wind was brutal. Had a good time. Of course rv and bcjensen had there vex's out, I just dropped a jig in the hole sitting 5yrds from rv with his vex and kicked his butt, I jigged up pearch and he jigged up nothing. The price of a vex 400 the price of catching fish nothing

Let's fish old fashion they way that I was taught 25yrs ago.

RV, was the other half ok when you got home? I called her to try and smooth thing over. I don't know if she believed me or not. She seemed pissed off. HA HA good luck

ONCE AGAIN THE VEX PROVES WORTHLESS BOOOOOO VEXXX

Rose Valley, If I was as unhappy about a product as you, I'd sell it and use that money for some other ice tackle. You obviously don't seem to like it, so why frustrate yourself. That money could be spent on something you get some enjoyment out of.

Now enough hijacking this thread about that. Let's see if these weatherman know what they're talking about and have this prediction correct.

BEAN,WHO IS HIJACKING THIS THREAD???HITHOLE, BCJENSEN,,,THE SPUD,,CAN ALL TELL YOU ,,FROM TODAY,, JIGGING FROM NON VEX, OUT FISHED JIGGERS WITH VEX,,,,AM I CORRECT GUYS!!!!!

hithole · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 21, 2006, 09:06 PM »

Yes you are

Bean · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 21, 2006, 09:15 PM »

This thread was started about the weather conditions with no mention of anything about using a vexilar flasher. Then you guys hijack it by ranting about how it is worthless once again. Like I said earlier, If it were me and I wasn't satisfied with a product, I would return it and get my money back or sell it.

What does commenting about how you dislike your vex have to do with the upcoming weather forecast? Am I correct, guys!!!

Iceshanty · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 22, 2006, 07:00 AM »

SO WHAT???!!! I out fish people with flashers every day just for kicks, no big deal. It's rather easy when you are on fish and have the pattern nailed down. Quit hi-jacking threads, get over it and move on Rose. We got the point already.

Thanks,
-Scott

They get your hopes up and then slam back on the ice. Accuweather changed their 15 day forecast and there are no temps. like I previously reported in the future.

I checked for my area yesterday, and end of Jan/ Beg of Fed were High's below freezing, and when i checked today it said Mid 40's. What's the deal?

MikeThePike · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 23, 2006, 05:40 AM »

The deal is we can't rely on a 15 day forecast. They usually can't predict what will happen tomorrow yet people still will look at a 15 day forecast and expect it to be right. The reason it constantly changes is because they don't know. Thats why I don't bother looking more than 2-3 days in advance anymore.

Icenutter · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 24, 2006, 01:09 PM »

Well they have the cold weather back into the forecast starting late next week. Let's see if it holds true. If we can get the 5 to 7 day cold they are calling for we will have ice pretty quick.

Travis · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 24, 2006, 03:16 PM »

would be nice to get out for at least another week or 2

R.V. ICEMAN · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 24, 2006, 09:12 PM »

travis,,,another week or 2, was that a mistype?

how about fishing from this weekend until the end of march? atleast that is what seems to be the normal season here in central pa.

keep your head up, things are looking good as far as the weather goes.

Would like to see AT LEAST another week or two. I just started Ice fishing this year, and it's pretty fun. Would like to hone my skills a little more.

It is a forecast and there is always a chance. Yes, it is not always right. It can actually be colder than they are predicting or it can be warmer too. But it does give one an idea of the possibilities. There is always hope.

I like the National Weather Service prediction for the next month for the North east. They say there is an equal chance that it can be above normal, below normal or normal for The month of February.

Thats exactly what I mean. They more or less are saying they don't know for sure and rather than put there money on one over another they say there is an equal chance of either. I'd much rather hear that then hear a prediction saying it will be well below just to have them chance it the next day to say above.
