When do you think we will have safe ice?

Still_Learnin' · Oct 5, 2015

In particular, I'm talking about ice that's thick enough to walk on. As much as I hate to see the lakes ice over, I am a little excited to sit in a shack and drink beer while staring at a bobber again.

Busted out the short rods on November 17th last year. I'm going to guess December 5 will be my first day on the ice this year.

December 5th? I like that prediction!

Last 2 years it has been Black Friday for me.

I'll second black friday

Still_Learnin' · Oct 5, 2015

I'm pretty sure Black Friday was the first time I've been on the ice (on lake darling) but the lake already had close to 10 inches at that point. Logically, I would think I could have got out there maybe a week or so earlier. Then again, I'm extra safe with it and won't go out on the ice until I see a fair amount of other people out there.

I feel safer on the ice on black Friday than shopping with my wife. One year I did the "running of the retards" because I wanted a good deal on a tv. I will NEVER do that again

I'm thinking black Friday for this guy if there is no safe ice by then I'll just go to the river.

It's typically black Friday for me. It was a week earlier last year though.

I would tend to agree, the term is less offensive if we were to call it no longer red Friday.
Use a little common sense fellas

What if we called it "Not White Friday"? Then it would have some jazzy abbreviation like NWF. Makes it easier for texting and social media. the kids will go nuts over it!

Might be the best year to buy one. If there isn't think enough ice I bet their discounts will cut deep to get rid of them.

One big cold storm/blizzard with 50 mph winds can get lakes back to "normal temps" in 2-3 days.

I bet ice up will be within a week of the 10 year average

Maybe you should run for office, with posts like this.

Probably should be "no longer losing our arses, but not making more than our fair share, without lording it over our employees, bilking our investors or sticking it to our customers and not hurting the planet or using too much child labor and gee golly we are sustainable and by the way it sucks to own a business in this country with our dipstick leaders thank God it is Friday, I need a drink, Friday."

I think it will be around 12-10.....

Since shorthairs is calling for dry again (like every year), it should be one cold snowy SOB. Haha

If you win the presidency, you could put guywhofishes in your cabinet, just a thought to consider.

When do you think we will have safe ice?
