ice?

Anyone have a prediction as to if we have any ice this year

[takem]

I would think a week of these cold nights would be a good start as long as the wind holds off. I wonder if the lakes are glazed over at all.

I have off Tuesday and Wednesday and was hoping to get on somewhere close to home. My buddy was by Struble Sunday no ice at all. Next best bet is Scotts Run or Ontelaunee is usually one of the first to have ice. Ill be out checking things out tomorrow. If anyone on here is familiar with any of our Northern lakes that have ice get ahold of me would gladly drive up north for some good ice. I was standing on my goldfish pond today but got some dirty looks from the old lady when I pulled my auger out.

Walked out on Struble today, completely frozen about 2" thick just out from the shore line ,then it thins out. Got within 25 yards of where I was catching crappies last year.

On the way home from work today I saw someone on the ice on Marsh Creek. Lake side, bout 100ft from shore. Not to sure this was a very good idea. Don't know about the thickness of the ice.

we are so close to having safe ice I can taste it

Hawgcatcher, NOLEGGS would've been out there! I guess we are a bit more cautious as we age although the urge to pull them thru that 6 inch hole continues to pull at our wants!

[Hawgcatcher]

I'm surprised he wasn't out there. Fished with him a little last year. I'll be on it tomorrow but don't think i'll be able to reach the fish.

[Hawgcatcher]

Hit Struble today but no luck. Just can't get out far enough was only on about 1 1/2 " of ice where i was and it wasn't very good ice so don't risk it.

hey hawgcatcher go north promis land and fairview lakes have good ice, did'nt set the world unfire but caught fish.two nice crappies 14 and 13 inchers 15 gils 10 perch and 3 bass14inchers. not a great day but better than not ice fishing at all

[Hawgcatcher]

Great, yea I saw some reports on Promised Land from another ice fishing message board I frequent. Plan on making the trip on my next long weekend I have off. Thanks for the info

[takem]

looks like warmer weather next week. Highs in the mid 40's lows around 32-34. Not good ice weather. It better freeze cause I got a new auger for xmas.

[takem]

anyone been to hopewell or scotts run? Saw 2 guys on marsh creek today. Didn't look very thick.

[Gsseagle]

Drove to Scotts and Hopewell today, and no sign of any one been on the ice on either. Both were froze completley over, but no one was up there. Also was by Struble and there was a person ice skating about 25 yds out from the parking lot. Stayed a while to see if they fell thru, but it didn't happen. Person was skating all by them selves, no one else was there.... not to bright

There has got to be ice somewhere fairly local, I was on a pond today that had about 5". If I have time today I will check out the Coatesville resivour. I will post if I do.
