Cookslav Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 How quickly is the ice gonna go? Was hoping to get out on the ice this weekend but geeeeze....16 degrees tommorrow, with 11 on Saturday. I'm definatly no expert but I'm guessing its all down hill from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 rivers and edges can be affected but the lake no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leecher Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I would not worry either.... might want to bring rubber boots and cleats tho.... could be a little wet on the surface Leechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 16 is warm but it's the rain (that's in the forecast as well) that will melt the ice faster. It couldn't wait 2 more weekends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 LOL...ya I'm a big Chicken I guess. There was an easy 18" of ice last weekend, so I guess it should be fine minus the edge... There is Zero Current there so I'm guessing it'll be ok. Its just I've never ventured out there in that kind of weather... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries.... go for it and enjoy your day out But like I said in my previous thread, bring some rubber boots and cleats cause it will be wet and slippery Leechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Bernie, it's -5 up here right now and the winds are from the east.... suppose to get 5-10cm of snow and then turning to freezing rain Hoping to get out tomorrow for a little while if the weather holds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Snow isn't as bad as freezing rain Jacques. We have been putting up with a sheet of ice everywhere since a quick melt a week ago. It's been so cold that the sand just blows off it in the shade. A thaw will be welcomed here to get rid of it. I wanted to get my family out this weekend fishing but it will end up too wet and sloppy out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I think I'll stay inside, by the fire, tying harnesses and bucktails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
