Because I temporarily changed the rules, and smurfy was the 2nd person to wager a guess, I changed his prediction to April 25th.  Also, since SkunkedAgain was the originator of this competition and was the 1st person to guess, I will give him until Friday to change his prediction if he wants to (although he may regret if the ice goes out on April 18th).  After him, no more "changes" will be allowed on my board.

 

Lots of "good" open dates available for those that have not predicted yet.  Updated board below:

Goodness. I feel like I'm on some kind of site for the mentally ill sometimes.  🤨

I know he said this but look at the last board printout!  He meant smurfy on April 29th!

It's tough to find the etymology of numb nuts. Lots of guesses that it came from the military and/or cycling communities, but nothing definitive. It's meaning has no doubt though...

You mean to tell us, that you live in a state where folks sit on a frozen lake ice fishing on a bucket all day. And you don't know what numb nuts are? 🥶 🤣🤣

Looks like Twin Cities lakes are about 2 1/2 weeks ahead of schedule. Our local lake (Medicine) went out 3/23 and it's average is 4/10. Hopefully the northern lakes will be similar

 I scheduled Medicine Lake early in our Fishing Club season for 2025, hoping to avoid some of the terrible milfoil that grows in there. An early ice out doesn't help my cause, but I'm sure that I'll still snag a few nice pike trolling around that western point.

Medicine is a fun lake for me.  Lots of different opportunities out there.

Well see there yea go. I'm just a humble fisherman, I'm not up on all those big words.  I thought etymology was some kind of rectal test you needed?  🤔 🤭
