At this point I don’t really care what I’m catching, I just need to get out on the ice. There is only so many times you can go thru your stuff! I’m actually building a second smitty sled I’m so bored. Well actually I’m replacing my uprights from 2x12’s to 2x6’s. Since my PALS gave me grief all last season about my “Santa” sled and you know who you are.......HA HA
I just saw the latest update on the winter prediction and it might be good news. The cold index has moved to the east enough to include all of PA. We are now in the zone of below average temps for the winter of 2019/20! The down side is that we are also right in the middle of the index for above average precipitation. If this guy is right, we are in for a good winter but I might want to get a better pair of snow shoes! For the guys that head up to the Great lakes region, below average temps and average precipitation.
I'm willing to bet those guys weren't part of Operation Dingy. You're right about being a little jealous, last year was a tough year and I didn't get out much with everything going on. This year I'm in full ice fishing mode and am ready to go right now all I need is the safe ice.
Perry the bearer of good news, that’s great news, hopefully it’s true.
We need a good long ice season....no yo yo temps and rain.....I've got way to much equipment sitting in the garage and basement.....
