When does everyone think we'll be on the ice this year?? I predict the week before Christmas, say the 20th.

Same. Went out and popped a hole last weekend but didn't have a rod or time to fish. I found a couple places with a couple inches on them yesterday. Got out and felt pretty comfortable on a few inches. Too bad it will probably be gone this week!

Finally safe ice Canadian border of ny 4-5".We need colder weather to start making ice.Hopefully end of dec or I'll be in for a 6hr drive because I can't wait.

Safe ice in NJ already?! There's several lakes in NW NJ that are locked up with under an inch. But progress nonetheless!

Evil Tom · « **Reply #9 on:** Nov 30, 2014, 03:37 PM »

53 today 55 tomorrow unfortunately progress reversed. I'm not sure what lakes you are referring to as being locked up with 1 inch of ice but it's not gonna last.I just checked my early season spot that sits in a valley and always freezes first because of location and there's barely an inch in the coves.

I said less than 1 inch but it doesn't matter at this point after this warm front we'll be starting over. I have several little private ponds that always lock up pretty quick so we'll just have to hope we get a long enough cold spell to at least get rid of ice fishing fever.

Not sure what's gonna happen in nj but just booked trip for upstate ny next month

cchick27 · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 03, 2014, 07:03 PM »

I think there will be some smaller stuff with safe ice before the 25th. Lets hope and keep our fingers crossed.

Last year was December 16th for me. Got off on March 27

explorer53 · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 04, 2014, 09:34 AM »

After this sunday, it's supposed to start getting cold. Lows in the mid to low 20s and highs in the mid 30s. Hopefully the weather stays like this

If the forecast doesn't change were in good shape.

The 10 day forecast looks good if we don't have wind on those cold nights.

Safe ice last year from about 12/16-12/20 then a warming trend before Christmas for about a week made it very questionable to be on the ice. I fear a similar trend this year and think we will have safe ice before Christmas eve but it may be short lived before locking for a longer period.

cchick27 · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 05, 2014, 07:39 PM »

I fear the same thing will happen but we'll see. Maybe we'll luck out this year and the lakes will stay locked up.

Got on the ice last season 3 Jan. last ice for me was March 9 65days total. That was a Polar Blast year. We will be lucky to see 1/2 of that this year if Lucky.

cchick27 · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 05, 2014, 07:48 PM »

What lakes were you fishing? I was on 2 weeks before Christmas.

Icemark247 · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 06, 2014, 01:20 PM »

I know my buddy was on like 4 inch's last december on the 20th i belive. Then we had a little warm up that right back to cold. I was on ice till almost april!

cchick27 · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 09, 2014, 01:29 PM »

Same here lets hope for that again!

Dem · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 09, 2014, 03:16 PM »

Well we are right on the edge the water is cold 1 night in the low 20's and I'm seeing skim ice. Just need a full week in the teens or low 20's at night and no higher than the low 30's daytime we will be in...or on as the case may be

cchick27 · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 10, 2014, 04:29 PM »

Im seeing several small ponds with some skim as well and they were open as of yesterday. So judging by the forecast we may be fishing soon, but we all know how quickly the forecast can change around here..

bmxrider11976 · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 12, 2014, 02:09 PM »

I'm predicting..... tomorrow will be the second time on ice this year
