A box full of mousees were waiting at my door when i got home this evening. I am looking forward to positive ice reports asap.

Can you keep them alive all winter? Or do you reorder later on? I usually use spikes, they last a couple of weeks for me, maybe my refridge temp is a little off.

I live about 15 miles south of Richmond. Small 10 acre ponds completely frozen with a 1/2"-1" of ice and still some snow in the shady areas. Warm weather is going to melt everything. We need steady temps with no warm ups.

icefishingct98 · « **Reply #36 on:** Nov 14, 2013, 05:57 PM »

were getting steady temps from thanksgiving on so i think we might have December ice this year!

IcyLargeMouth · « **Reply #37 on:** Nov 14, 2013, 05:59 PM »

That much skim ice before thanksgiving. I haven't heard that in awhile...hopefully a great sign for the future!!! I'm definitely ready for some hard water fishing.

Larger ponds just skimmed over or still open. Also being at 1200' elevation helps.

I'm in north central ct on the way the duck blind this morning we were busting through a quarter inch or more the whole way literally 90% of the pond was locked and its a big pond I don't remember the last time I had to do thy before December

fishville · « **Reply #41 on:** Nov 16, 2013, 08:58 PM »

I noticed alot of skim ice on my way to work Thursday. Seems the water is ready to freeze as soon as we get the air temps.

sr73087 · « **Reply #42 on:** Nov 21, 2013, 10:13 PM »

Looking at the forecast next week, temps are looking pretty good.

lowaccord66 · « **Reply #43 on:** Nov 22, 2013, 05:10 AM »

I'm hoping it isn't too windy. Was 16 degrees outside when I left for work yesterday.

octanehi5 · « **Reply #44 on:** Nov 22, 2013, 07:46 AM »

You guys may get your wish, turning colder sat night, not going above freezing sunday.Small ponds will lock up ,big waters are cooling nicely,snow on weds.not much sun all week.Northwest corner or up state new york best bets

Kierran · « **Reply #45 on:** Nov 22, 2013, 09:12 AM »

Sunday's wind won't help us. Let's home for some frigid calm nights soon.

eiderz · « **Reply #46 on:** Nov 22, 2013, 09:37 AM »

A couple of windy, cold nights will help the bigger lakes cool and turn over. After that, cold and calm is best for sure.

bugchazer · « **Reply #47 on:** Nov 22, 2013, 01:39 PM »

finally saw a deer , unfor. was on someone else property. They must be hiding until I start fishing on ice.

eiderz · « **Reply #48 on:** Nov 22, 2013, 02:14 PM »

Anybody care to guess whether there might be ice on one of the small northwest ponds in a couple of days?

lowaccord66 · « **Reply #49 on:** Nov 22, 2013, 03:16 PM »

There may be, its been cold in my neck of the woods....

gadabout · « **Reply #50 on:** Nov 22, 2013, 04:34 PM »

My hope is that we may possibly walk on water somewhere before Christmas. Anything before that will be a miracle.

Agree.

I have seen posts of guys fishing up in the Adirondack's on small ponds with 2 " of ice already. I still say someone will be fishing on ice in the northwest corner of the state before Thursday.Rain makes corn,corn makes whiskey, cold wind makes ice.

ctice84 · « **Reply #53 on:** Nov 23, 2013, 12:26 PM »

The 10-14 day temp forecast looks very promising if it holds up. Get ready everyone !!

I've looked around up here and before Thursday isn't going to happen, not even a remote chance.

Spoondangler · « **Reply #55 on:** Nov 23, 2013, 01:52 PM »

There is a chance for ice for thanksgiving in CT. Ponds don't take long to freeze and i know some that are already fully iced over with an inch or so.

bugchazer · « **Reply #56 on:** Nov 24, 2013, 05:07 AM »

tis wind wont do ice any good , hope it stops soon .

Agreed. Good for stirring but bad for freezing.

20-30MPH Winds today (11/24) into tomorrow. And Tuesday is predicted 43 with rain and Wednesday 52 high with rain...

Spoondangler · « **Reply #58 on:** Nov 24, 2013, 07:12 AM »

oh, you guys are talking shoreline? you wont see ice anytime soon, I am talking NW CT, it is 14 out this morning, and the ponds that are frozen already, wind won't hurt much!

octanehi5 · « **Reply #59 on:** Nov 24, 2013, 07:22 AM »

Small ponds that are already frozen will make some nice clear ice,the wind will drop the temps in the big lakes quicker,than if it was clam.You will be on your favorite lake very soon.NW will be the first to icefish. Or call Eiderz and tell him to break out the wilcraft
