Getting nasty

[jibbs]

Lakes region ice is getting ugly ..we either need a good freeze or a big warm up..bass bite is hot at least

[Tony Thunder]

Good low digits at night still coming

Good freeze coming toward the end of the week.  It will make for much better traveling as the snow will continue to compact and then freeze hard at the end of the week.

Took the hardside off even though we still have plenty of Ice in SE NH. It is messy water on the ice today.  Happy to have a decent year in the hardside.  The ice can go really fast in my area and last week and this week really don't look good here for temps except Tuesday.

I took a walk out today to check on my hardside in the Lakes Region.  I was fully prepared to have to either move it, remove it or jack it up.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had to none of the above.

Looks like it’s sitting pretty! How’d the lakes look around the lakes region? Snow all gone? Just trying to game plan if I’m gonna struggle keeping my snowmobile happy this weekend

Every lake is a little different but today on the walk out I found a mix of 8” of slush and completely snow free areas.  This week is looking good with temps during the day to melt and then refreeze overnight.   I think things will be easily manageable by the weekend

I'm still high and dry so the wheelhouse stays out a little longer.

Took a spin over to find ya after fishing 2 weeks ago but didn't see the house out. Hope you guys did well this year

It froze back up nicely last night with the wind.  Bring your cleats.  Should be fine.

The ice conditions have been terrible from the start. Only had the wheeler out once. We fish at around 1500 ft and last week we belly panned the gator on tracks. Had to drill a hole and winch a few feet forward to get er going again..., a rare event with that beast. But it happens now and again! Double layer of ice with water in between... Walking is almost out of the question! Breaking thru the 2 inches of sleet we got on every step, calf deep, slush and water. No wonder most people are fishing near boat launches/parking. I long for the days of firm surfaces and better ice travel.

But yes the bass bite is on, thank goodness.. There are some good drain holes to watch for too! Soon we will drag the BH across the big water to the shallow cove, if its still there after these big winds we've had! Be safe all!
