Some "Observations"

[SkunkedAgain]

Hey Lynn I don't think winter is coming this year... Worst ice year I've seen in a long time...  Crazy to be towards the end of January and still not having decent ice... I'm predicting an early spring if things keep going like they have been... Last week when we got a couple feet of snow I was getting nervous especially with 17 below zero temps... But a couple days later we're back in the 40's and the snow is down to maybe a foot left, and so who knows what's going to happen this year...  Later Jeff

Jeff, I hope you and all you cold-blooded ice fishers are blessed with a good 4+ inches of ice. Used to ice fish but bones are now too old to endure the misery. I'm waiting for 60 degree plus weather and it can't get here too soon. 
Best to ya,
Lynn

Thanks Lynn, just got back from trying to freeze my toes... I sure hate slush... There is about 4" of snow/water and yuk on top of 4" of marginal ice, so unless it decides to get pretty cold I don't think it will last too long, once it's gone I say bring on the 60 degree days... except I'll have to start farming so it's good and bad at the same time.. Good luck keeping warm and getting excited for the spring cat season... Later jeff
