Just use pipe insulation. I saw a video Blaine did and it worked well.

You have a busy schedule Billy. But I dont think we will be on the ice before x-mas. But if we are,Im sure you will find the time to make a quick trip.

I definately plan to be on the ice before Christmas......but it will require a New Hampshire License and a 2 1/2 hour drive North!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was on 4 inches of ice on December 14th last year. Three different ponds, even.  No need to go to New Hampshire!

As long as it's not windy. We would have had ice around me a week earlier last year if it hadn't been so windy. I think it got a lot of oxygen into the water, though. Didn't seem like the fish slowed down at all.

I was on the ice last year the Week before Christmas on 4-5" of clear SOLID black ice.
Managed to jig up a couple trout and a few pikerel.

That first ice was awesome last year. I found weed edges I never knew were there!

so much for early ice. All those days that were supposed to be in the 30's are now forecasted for upper 40's and 50's

Checked my notebook from last year, I was on good ice the 14th, and the 21st you guys came with me. I think it will be earlier this year, though. Cold nights, and the days are getting colder.

I think they might be looking for one more guy. Give me a call sometime and we'll talk. It's not really a job for just anyone, but I bet you can hack it there.
