lookinforwalleye Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Ya you`ll prolly be ice fishing in April!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I think the latest I have ever been on the ice is April 8. Very good chance that record might fall this spring. Edited March 1, 2014 by crappieperchhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 We have always had ice out here by April 15th. I'm willing to bet a beer that our bay will still have ice in it by the end of April this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've icefished well into April pretty much every year, except a few where we had really mild springs. One year I had the boat out in Feb, and two years ago, in march. I'm betting I'll be on ice until late april around here this year, but things can change quick with the right conditions. You can't base your ice out predictions on lots of ice and snow, the wind has the most impact on ice out. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattaw Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Up in the Bancroft area I'm hearing that we're looking like a late April ice out unless something changes. As sinker said, the wind is a main factor, as well as the low temps at night being warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
