Place your bets

Let's hear your bet for first safe ice in Indiana.  By safe I mean at least 3-4 inches.

I am going to say December 7th.

I think we will have ice around Christmas. The only problem about getting early ice is that it usually goes away for about two weeks then comes back again. When that happens it seems like the fishin isn't as good as when we get ice around Christmas and it stays till ?????????????    JULY!!!!!   LMAO

I'll hope for around December 10th.  I know last year I was ice fishing around the weekend of Thanksgiving and fished until close to the first of the year, when it all went away, unless you wanted to drive an hour or more north into MI.

It will probably be more like Christmas and then like others previously stated, it will go away for a week or so and then come back  ::)

Just after Christmas or on Christmas. When we get it early it leaves early. So far so good. Crosses his fingers...
I live in the midwest now but have fond memories of fishing in New England as a kid.
