if each person brought a log or two
you'd have plenty of wood for a heat source.

Do you want to borrow one of my daughter's skirts...I can bring it along for you.....maybe some of her leggings too...:hihi:

Its Ice fishing....its supposed to be cold.

Just bustin 'em...whatever you want to do is fine with me :hee:

Seroiusly, though...what does everybody think about 7-1?

7-7......right into the night

:buds:

I would say go til at least 2, if not 3... Gotta love that afternoon bite... But definitely want to have everyone off by 4 or so, no fun packing up in the dark...

If you want to stay warm... Wait till spring! :biglaugh:

OK, 2 PM it is...

Rick, if its too cold you can make an announcement at noon that its over at 1. If its zero out i dont think there will be much complaining.

It will be warmest in the afternoon. Tuesday had at least 8 inches of Ice. Plus 3 inched of snow. Add another 16+ inches of snow to that. Better bring snowshoes lol. Hoping for at least a sled and a quad if not 2 sleds.

Hoping the wind blew some of the snow off!

Yeah we have 8 ft to cross to get to the open part of the Lake. I will let you know next week.

Yeah, but after three years, I'm starting to collect a lot of ice fishing accoutremants...5 sleds worth of stuff this year. Phil Brown's bringing out his smoker and 20 # of ribs this year, too!

We'll be staying the night before. Hopefully Jay and the pirate crew will be closer than last year.:buds:
Anybody else coming in early, and if so, where u stayin?

I'm startin to think we might need snowshoes...Hey Raven, Casey or Rob...any chance you guys can give us the lay of the lake?

We are booked for the 22nd at super 8

Chance, a Chance of a another storm Friday night into Saturday as the coldest air of the season arrives.

I will be in Friday night and staying at RR's in Sturbridge... barring Snowpocalypse 2.0

Oh boy, that motel's gonna be like the Chateau Marmont in 74 when Zeppelin was there!

I will stop over at the lake tomorrow and see whats up with it. I hoping that it has been used a bunch by snowmobiles/quads to break up the snow. I am more concerned about parking with all the snow drifts. Not sure what the town does in regards to plowing the area.

Weather.com has the Saturday forecast at -2 to start, 16 for a high....ouch!

NWS

Friday: A chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 19. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Friday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around -1.

Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 16.


No Bathing suits

Yup,
That means Messy Matty will be wearing a jacket for once!

Mafia's Suit is really good too, we'll have to throw him in

The parking lot is looking good. Doesn't appear that there has been a lot of activity on the lake, at least not in the area where we usually set up. A pretty good crowd was out there today. The snow did not get blown off the lake as far as i could tell.

Thankx Rob...see you next week!

The walking on the lake I was on yesterday was tough. Bring snowshoes if you have them as walking in a sled track is still not easy.

Bait availability?
 

Does anyone know if...

If there's local bait shop that will be open early Saturday near the lake? Answers appreciated...

Freezin rain out there Tuesday night. Maybe a nice crust.

The Sportsman Cellar on rt 20 about 1/4 mile before you turn right on 148 will be open. If you see a small grocery store called Micknucks you just missed it, pull in there and park and walk back the 100 yards east. The guy who runs it is a cranky bastard but the only game in town.

Really cranky.

Thanks...Guy's in the wrong business if he's miserable.
