Now we are making ice ice baby
« on: Dec 16, 2016, 03:20 AM »
With the wind dying nh off and staying below zero I bet we made some good ice overnight and will continue through the day today. That is, until the rain Sunday
Wait there's ice????

Not sure how much rain we're getting, but temps drop right back down the next few days. People forget it's only mid-December right now and we're starting off much better than last year. Lots of season left!

It's off and on prob more like freezing rain which will eat up the snow and increase production

The temps suck for end of next week in S. NH but mid to north shouldn't lose much ice with next week's warmer temps. I'm excited for this season

Good ice today sun is going to melt snow so it can freeze as an extra layer of ice and then with some more freezing temps tonight we SHOULD have thick enough ice, with that said don't go out and start fishing with that in mind bring the spud and picks. Good luck to anyone heading out this weekend

I have been surprised this week at how little additional ice has formed on the ponds I was on last weekend, considering the cold temps. Dont just assume that because its been so cold, that there's an abundance of ice.
One of the ponds I fished today only added 1 1/2" since sunday. While another pond added about 2 1/2".
USE THE CHISEL

Yep, fished Tarleton Saturday and was surprised to only see 2.5"-3" 20 feet offshore followed by 5 inches of slush on top. Not sure how we got so much slush in single digit temps

lol wasn't too bad! 10 flags from 7am to like 10am. Left after that due to the slush and storm. Buddy iced one nice 13" brown. I wanted to go for Lakers since I was expecting at least 4" but we didn't venture out past 7ish feet

Too much tea, perhaps?
Don't blame yourself for that one, Denny.

You got Bam sick a couple years ago. She could barely walk. Your getting a BAD reputation, but I'm not afraid to fish with you.

Last night probably made 3-4" on lakes that were locked prior. VERY cold and still when I poked my head out at 3:30am.

That was also self-inflicted. Captain you and I went to different schools together. I'll see you in a couple weeks at "The Dark Side".
