Water still freezes at 32 degrees air temp no matter the wind chill

Where's your scientific evidence to back this up?

we  never  said  it  didn't  we  said  wind  will  cool  the  water  surface  which  causes it  to  ice  faster....  this  is  why  you  blow  on  soup  to  cool  it  ....  we  also  talked  about  the  venture  effect  and  why  ice  will  form  in  the  throat  of  a  carburetor when  it's  80  degress  out  ....  and  yes  it  happens  you  can  google  it  ....

Can I use starter fluid in my holes to stop them from freezing if I set it on fire to remove it from the water ?

Only in your jighole, and you have to light it while you're jigging.

This thread is awesome.

For the last time, here is how to keep your holes clear.  Take a box of ex-lax, crush it up and add 1 gallon of wine.  Using a turkey baster, apply about two ounces to all holes once every ten minutes.

What will cause your beard to freeze faster? Sneezing? Coughing? Drooling? Snot rockets?

It must be really cold if your applying once every 10 minutes.... I can usually go 20 minutes with antifreeze if I don't drink it first

Increases the chance of a fish biting.  It's made of fish oil.    I use it on my minnows to give them some stink

Yes since they are public waters everyone should tell yo exactly where to go   Heck they should be conciderate and set up your tip ups and catch the fish for you.

Question for everyone, one of the lakes I fish doesn't have much structure, thinking about taking my old Lincoln TC and filling it with ethanol, changing the oil with wd 40, using my 12"auger and my chain saw to cut a 10x20 hole in the ice and creating my own structure. There's only 2.5 " of ice now should freeze back up quick. Any feedback appreciated. Ps how many years will the wd last underwater?
