    Some bad ice

    Yeah without the snow we definitely can put on more ice much faster but like you said that doesn't look to be in the forcast yet. Unfortunately that leaves us with the flip side of that equation where the sun is able to penetrate the ice and warm the sunken islands and points causing hidden land...

    Some bad ice

    That very will could be true and especially up in your area but down here in Bismarck and the guys further to the south and west we are getting into some shady territory. We have 40's scattered throughout the foreseeable future and so we are looking at at best maybe maintaining the ice we have...

    Some bad ice

    The ripping raps must be a hell of a trigger to fish since I have caught multiple carp on them. Not sure what it is but if it can make crap aggressive imagine what it does to bass and walleyes!

    Is there a cottonwood lake in Mclean county? Just wondering if this is the cottonwood in McHenry County instead?

    I will ask him in the morning what chip he has. He definitely needs to lower the elevation some since he has it set damn near to peak 2011 level.

    Yeah there is no river chip....well atleast anything remotely accurate. Not sure what one my buddy has but its pretty damn helpful for the ice fishing I've done down there this year.

    fishing the river?

    Went up and looked and this is approximately where the ice line is as of today.

    fishing the river?

    The ice line looks to be a couple miles north of double ditch and have to believe she is working south at a fair clip with highs in the fourtys and lows barely below freezing. The ice in Bismarck is fairly young and is rotting fast. If next week is warm she will likely bust open....hell I...

    Depends on what forcast you look at. Some have us in Bismarck at 16,19,23,27,32,21 through the weekend. Hell the National Weather Service had Bismarck at 27 for a high today but our overnight low was 28 so kind of shot that forcast to hell from the start. Yesterday they were off by 9 degrees...

    Yeah the boys in South Dakota are not to happy with the way we have been hogging all the geese the last few years. Oh well their pain is our gain. Is nice though to have it set up the way we do with all the safe zones to keep the birds fat and happy and here!

    I'm not sure if this is the actual line but on here it looks like its open down to a few miles north of double ditch. Wonder how the ice on the lower end of Sak is since it only got around 10 days to form before it got hit with warm weather.

    I would agree with you 9 months of the year atleast as far as temps go but from now through spring they always seem to go into underestimate mode. I'm not sure if its due to a goofy model they run or just the hay its better to be low then too high type of thing. If the forcast 43 and we only hit...

    Oh I'm sure oahe took a hit but she didn't have much for any snow pack. No snow means you make ice fast but you can also loose it fast. Now crimmins where I was the ice its self was fine because the snow on top absorbed most of the beating this week. But with much of the snow it had now gone the...

    Yep and there in lies the rub....most of the best fishing has been. Better to get further south where there is less current. For those that don't know the lake that well the casinos rap is just kiddy corner to the mouth of Beaver Bay. Here is where it happened.

    That will probably hold true for NE and what not with the big storm rolling it but its not set to be correct for Bismarck. Loosing the snow changes everything and the forcast has bumped up a fair chunk over night.

    Really where is that at? Just looking at the ten day for here and it's above normal all but a week from Monday. As long as we can keep the ground clear of snow I bet we see a pretty big jump in the over all temps.

    Was fishing north of wing today and the lake I was on the ice varied drastically from spot to spot. First spot was 18 inches second spot 200 yards away was only 9!!! The warm weather didn't appear to have damaged the ice much so this looks to be just random variations in the ice caused by the...
