Where is "round here"? They aren't predicting anything above freezing for most of the state in the next 10 days. Just hope for no snow!!

sure is only about 12 miles south east of alexandria...........l ake villard is not completely frozen that was a picture from a smaller lake..........the camper must be at Canary Beach Resort I would assume or is it the resort on the south side of the lake

Lone Fisher · « **Reply #9 on:** Nov 19, 2008, 07:35 AM »

no i think the resort is on the north side.. but idk.. only been up there once.. so where do you usually fish in the winter?

iluvcrappie · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 19, 2008, 10:13 AM »

i usually fish Lake Amelia, Lake Westport, Grove Lake, Lake Minneswaska, Lake Reno and thats usually about it

Just drove by Okabena Lake in Worthington and its froze up tight. The weather report is definitely in our favor. Hoping to take the cover off the auger this weekend!! Difinitely by Thanksgiving!!

crappie rob · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 19, 2008, 07:28 PM »

Good luck!! Hopefully I'll only have 2-3 weeks to wait. C-ya, Crappie Rob.

I have ice fishing plans in Grand Rapids on Dec 5th, so I am hoping the weather people finally get something right!

Lone Fisher · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 19, 2008, 09:53 PM »

we got a small maybe 200 acre lake a couple miles outta town that has a solid 1 inch of ice on it.. as long as the winds and snow stays low we should be ready to rock n roll by thanksgiving!!

No way? My uncles got a cabin on Amelia.

iluvcrappie · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 20, 2008, 01:17 PM »

yeah i fish amelia all the time in the winter lots of eyes and big crappies

BUSSWAH · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 20, 2008, 01:37 PM »

Well, I have no idea what happened but that locked up Okabena lake in Worthington is now half open. Must have been enough open water somewhere along with the high wind to eat away half the ice. I guess being optimistic, we can say at least we know its almost there. And the weather still looks good?

Any of you minnesotians ever fish Okabena? It way down here in the Southwest. The DNR website says it has a good perch and Walleye Population. I plan on finding out if thats true. Never fished it myself so any information you locals may have would be helpful.

Thanks

a couple of the lakes aroudn my area are completly frozen over.. one guy i work with said one of hte bays on rush had 3 inches on it.. i'm going to venture out and look at some of the smaller lakes that i can normally get onto early and should have a report after this weekend

Haywood · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 20, 2008, 07:53 PM »

Fannie had ice quite a way out, but that wind had the middle opened up and the hole getting bigger.

brokenline · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 20, 2008, 09:10 PM »

do you think it will still make ice tonight even in the open ares and thicker in the froze over areas??

Haywood · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 20, 2008, 09:39 PM »

the existing ice should thicken up, not sure what will happen in the open water area's, unless the wind lets up.

there was anywhere form 2 inches to 7 where the ice chunks from the open water froze sold last night. do you guys think the cruches then refroze over ice would be safe? it is like 7 inches thick
