Ice
Posted: Thu Nov 15, 2018 9:39 am
We are several weeks ahead of schedule for ice up but............ opened up the blinds yesterday to see about 100 ft of ice on my shoreline. The lake I live on has extensive shallow flats so it is the first to freeze. In a few days it will warm a bit and can still fish about anywhere. Might have to fish some of the deep clear ones but will do what ever it takes to keep it going. Have a friend coming in the morning bringing his boat to get some work done with my marina guy. If the roads allow him to get here we will give something a shot tomorrow. I can handle the cold and a little snow but don't care for pulling a boat in a snow storm or icy roads. This time of year is so much fun. You are almost always by yourself and still a chance to make a good catch. It is mostly about the catching but peace and quiet and the beauty of mother nature is quite amazing. You have to take it all in. Love it. John
