Rain
« on: Dec 21, 2007, 03:20 PM »
It is looking like it is going to rain this weekend in most of NY state how do you think the ice is going to hold up with an inch of rain and temps almost to 50 degrees :'(? I am thinking it will just melt the snow. Anyone else have any thoughts? ???

Things will be just fine. Melt the snow pack, then drop down to ice next week. Rock out Ace Freely.

I'm not worried about the rain it is the wind... hopefully it won't break up the ice on oneida

Went out for a few hours this morning. The wind finally drove Bucketbass and I off at about 11:00 am. I had 1 11" perch and a 19 1/2" walleye. going out tomorrow.

I have been hunting or fishing almost everyday of my life. The rest have been wasted.
