I think we are heading for a season of no ice in Northern New Jersey, and long term forecast does not look good anybody else feeling depressed?

Been fishing in northern Michigan for 2 weeks. You might have to take a vacation.

No ice for me in my area either, lakes start to freeze.then we get temps in the 40's for days. Too bad I already winterized the boat a while ago.

May I suggest ROAD TRIP we have a good 10" been ice fishing for about almost 4 weeks this warm weather makes it seem like late ice beginning of April, you can almost fish in shorts and a tee shirt, it is knocking the snow down a bit. They staked the lakes and opened the snowmobile trails a few days ago. I think today will be the last day above freezing.

Yep. Bummed totally.

Fed up now. Will take a trip up north next weekend until I see some bucket sitters. Maybe that fix will get me through.

Same here. I am going to start projects on the salmon boat for spring. No sense in sitting around doing nothing!

The thermometer at the bank said 63F yesterday. I'm losing patience to say the least.

I played at Eastern Illinois and always enjoyed playing in the Unidome. We split by the way. You guys 1, us 1. Anyway. Hoping things turn around for ya soon down there.

have to say I feel sorry for those of you that cant get out on the hard water....I have been out there for almost 2 months now and we have great ice conditions.....12-14 on most lakes and driving full size trucks out there is not out of the question.......

CharlieBrn · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 06, 2012, 09:37 AM »

Measured 11 inches of good clear ice yesterday, plenty to walk on. Not so sure I want to drive my full size tahoe and heavy perm out there quite yet. Hoping for next week.

X2 people driving big diesels out on the ice here.

Gotta take advantage of whats good if you don't want to drive to find ice. Tons of steelies up in the great lakes tribs right now. Walleyes and crappies are biting good in the open water. Its also small game season pretty much everywhere. No excuses not to get out.

carefull guys and gals or big pharma will find label for your (illness) and find a way to put you all in an insitution and fill ya full of chems only to never see the light of your fishing hole again. THINK POSITIVE

shaun_300 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 06, 2012, 11:37 AM »

Gonna get out tomorrow hopefully to check the ice, should be enough to fish on now, been a cold week for us.

jamesboyle63 · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 06, 2012, 12:15 PM »

sitting on my deck smoking a cigar on Jan. 6. This is nuts.

Rebelss · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 06, 2012, 12:51 PM »

Well, I've done it.

Pushed all the ice fishing stuff back in it's Summer hole.

It's sunny and 44 here, with a warm front for next week....we have no snow, green grass, all open water. it takes the rivers around here a good two months to freeze up, with constant cold weather. Ain't gonna happen before it's time for spring fishing....I intend to purchase a new boat, looking right now in prep for the Spring Crappie season. I know, I know, someone go and slap me....

Look at the weather avatar!!!

I had to drive my daughter to Eau Claire, WI. today and saw 2 people in a boat fishing the river as I drove over the bridge. Good ice is only 1:45 hour drive north. I guess they couldn't wait for ice any longer down there.
