We're screwed
« on: Jan 05, 2022, 06:16 AM »
Hate to be a pessimist but the weather this week has been worse case scenario for the 716 and surrounding areas. Hopefully any skim or thin ice that has been forming around here gets broken up by this wind, cuz if we get the snow theyre calling for around here and it dumps on top of thin ice we are looking at bad ice the rest of the season.
Real good Steve, we were biting this morning..we were biting this morning...

We will be on the ice by the end of the month.  The "brave" ones a little earlier.  Short season yes but it will last well past walleye closer again.

Sorry you feel that way. But I’ve watched this type of thing benefit.
Best luck.

There's no significant ice in WNY yet anyway so tomorrows snow will just cool the surface temp of the water further. Then we will hopefully start seeing some ice form next week and be fishing somewhere by the 22nd or 29th. Fingers crossed.
It's stupendous!  It's colossal!  It's putrid!!

X2 , It can help all depends on the thickness of the ice to start if no ice the snow will help cool things down as said by not me

it will be fine, give it a few more weeks, snow fall on open water will actually help.

My first ice trip last year was Jan 23rd, my last kayak trip was January 8th.

Good call! Yes, this weather does play and important role in making ice.
If you can't stand the heat, get your bass out of the kitchen.

Better Weather is coming for us! Maybe not for those who don’t like the hard water.

Looks like I will be able to ice fish somewhere in about 2 weeks. Looking forward to it.

The streams could use some lack of pressure and we will have ice, later than sooner. Just have to get out when you can. Knew I was saving those sick days ;D

There will be people fishing somewhere around here by this weekend. I’m not saying it will be real safe so as always spud, spud, spud.

I retract my previous statement.... :) :) :) :)  I was out on 2.5" last week, and then the weather set up perfectly for us: little rain over the weekend to melt the snow, followed by a deep freeze. Its on boys.

Better yet just give all the gear to me and I will dispose of it for you. No need to hassle around selling it. No ice now. No ice ever.
