It's about time - been praying for zub-zero temps since last april - about time it finally showed up. Pulled the magnum III out of storage in September - high hopes back then - pulled it again last Friday - some weather jocky told me I should expect -5 for a daytime high over the weekend.

They don't start biting til the really cold stuff sets in - watch and learn - the bite will turn on tonight smirk.gif

It's about time!

I'm with you. I've had tremendous success when the overnight lows were in the -20's and the daytime high was no more than 0. There is a reward for those who persevere and buck the cold and wind.

I've got all my stuff nearly ready. I just hope my old truck will start after sitting out in the cold all day.

Will be curiuos to see the posts occuring over this next week - WC shows a nice stretch of sub zero readings - don't 'ya love that windchill smile.gif

Got a fresh batch of oak trimmings from a local cabinet shop yesterday - yes I'm the guy with the wood burning stove - and tonight's menu is crappie 'leluer with a hint of swedish kring la PIMPLE.

It's About Time !

      Just gotta use some common sense and have some ice safety gear.  If I hadn’t duffed the shot on the buck on the last day of rifle season, I’d probably be on the ice this weekend also.  Instead, I’ll still be chasing some vennie.

      just seen a report on fartbook the pines resort on winnie had 8-9 inches in the bay.  they did warn any further out the ice has not been checked, like over by the river!!!!!

      Looks like Vermilion froze overnight on Monday, which would make it officially frozen Tuesday, December 3.  I am going out to McKinley Park Friday morning to check out the ice conditions and possibly fish.

      Looking at the webcams, I don't see any open water. Is Big Bay completely frozen over yet?   The forecast looks like a few inches of snow Sunday/Monday followed by temps below zero.

      I'd say lakes under 500 acers less than 40 ft deep. They're targeting panfish. We're making ice everyday. Windy today, terrible roads, lots of people decided that they needed to drive fast and that unfortunately led to some vehicles doing some incidental off roading

      Falls gone Gim, time to move to ice fishin!!👍

      Fall was like a month long.  Maybe even less.  I'm quite a bit south of you but I can recall fishing in short sleeves in late October.  Less than a month later, prior to Thanksgiving, winter arrived.   September and most of October were way more like summer than fall.  Kind of too bad, I like fall.

      is that 5-6 inches on smaller lakes or ........... bigger water bodies. i'm guessing knowing the lakes i fish or would like to should maybe have more. i will be seeing a former coworker who livws of hwy 6 north of deer river saturday, hoping he's got a good report.   he's a neighbor and good friend to CO Fairbanks so should get some good intel. i know Mike well too!

      It's definitely winter, we have about 4-6 inches of fluffy snow on the ground which has predominantly blown off the ice. I have several friends out on the ice as of late 5-6 inches of ice. I work the next two days, will get the gear together Saturday and go Sunday. I'd be completely fine if we have an early spring like earlier this year.
