[maros91]

[hawkeye43]

Is there snow on the ground yet???? May 13

[schr0563]

Average ice out date is the April 24. I'll go with 8 days after that - May 2.

Al Gore is not only a genius, but also a renaissance man..... just ask him.

[EYESTALKER]

Biff, Hawk.......

I REALLY hope you guys are wrong...:-)

[Team Otter]

I'll take May 1.

[TrophyEyes]

Fire up those trucks and SUV's and bring on the global warming... I want to go fishing. Should we invite Al Gore up for some fishing?

[TRZ II]

Sunday April 20th there were sttil plenty of ice fishermen out in isle bay and a few in wahkon, amazing. the sides are not opening up at all yet, only feeder creek areas. May 10th

[EYESTALKER]

May 3rd...one week before opener...

April 30th

well Minnesota have an average winter temp wise, but the month of March goes down as the warmest ever recorded world wide, but then again everything seems to go in 10 year cycles. 1200 miles on my sled in 3 years su**s forget the cold temps I would like some snow on of these years!

AVERAGE? It was the coldest winter I've seen up here in Duluth!!

[Woodduck_MN]

hmmm. Tonka is just about open this morning by what I could see driving into work this morning. My guess May 3. Hope we don't need to dodge the icebergs on opener.

[gizmoguy]

Or nets.

[RiverBassGuy]

I don't mind finding nets on mille lacs, I can always find a good use for them around the house!! Besides, there's usually a wall mount smallmouth or muskie in every net. You should see the mounts in my basement! clearly kidding....

[browning1]

The weeds in Isle bay are making the ice pretty soft from what i here. On another note Jamestown Reservoir and Ashtabula by Valley City are pretty open now. Sounds like there are guys putting duck boats in on Pelican/Devils Lake. Won't be long now.

[fishfry]

How's it looking? anyone want to change their predictions?

[bigsandynorth1]

July 4th!!!

[maddowg1192000]

Don't think it we can make it from here- may 1 ice out

all pics from south of garrison

[federline]

Holy ice pile batman! At least no houses were smushed... right? May 2, think positive it will be a Friday.

[Shack]

Not as of yet!

This late ice has this ability to do that, coupled with wind.

Thanks or the images.

[maddowg1192000]

i guess within 2 hrs they had this cleared, i think when it is a side road with no houses then they should let it be for everyone like me that hasn't seen what ice can do.

[walleyeking19]

i think the ice will stay around a little longer with the snow now. i'm going to say may 6

[TrophyEyes]

Anyone worried about dodging icebergs on opener night? If the water levels weren't enough of a concern, now we might have to watch which side of the lake the ice will be drifting to.

[skies_and_eyes]

How far is the ice from shore in front of the Rum River? Anybody taking water temps yet? Thanks

[RiverBassGuy]

It will be gone before opener. I hope.... I heard vineland was a few hundred yards out from shore on sunday. Rumors the that the north end was out approximately a half mile from shore. Just reports I heard. I haven't been up there

[Mark Christianson]

I drove by yesterday and its open water a few miles across the lake already. The south shore had some mighty large piles of ice. Wow!

[Scott M]

C'mon baby heat up. Break up that ice and crank up the water temps!!!

[csnez]

Mille Lacs opening fisheman may be happy to see the Hunter's Point webcam. Looks like the ice is head out.....check it out.
