I'm not ready. Equipment is handy so no hurry for me. My older age and knees say wait for 3 or 4 inchs of ice on shallow water.

Been modifying me Shappel sled cause I'm so antsy. Should be done tonight. Then it's on to the rod and reels. Just placed my second order with Custom Jigs and Spins. If ice doesn't form soon, I'll go broke.

Well I'm here and can be ready to go in a matter of 2 hours. With the cold weather last weekend during shotgun season I was ready for ice. I'm hoping that maybe to be on the ice by Christmas but I'm not holding my breath, going to warm up next week. Hoping it comes soon,,,,the wife has invaded my deer hunting this year but says there is no way she will go on the ice.

Im here but not ready. It wont take me long just put some new line on and I will be ready for early ice. I am done hunting with gun just been bow hunting when weather hasnt been too cold cause my freezer is full. One upland draw permit to hunt then concentrate entirely on ice.

I was informed that people have been on the ice at Rockwood State Park. It can't be very thick yet. They were in the northeast bay area.

Definitely here and... almost ready. I just got my first flip-over on Black Friday with a heater and all that's left on my equipment list is the Power Auger that Santa's getting me this year
Hoping for that cold weather to make some good ice by the time my finals are over with.
