Thanksgiving Day Nov.28th,2013

This morning before dinner I spent 4 hrs getting down the ramp onto the ice with the beginnings of the road approach.  This year we had quite a bit of ice pile on shore as it froze with a strong NW wind.   And yes the ice is rough out there.  Not the best for walking, but doable.  When we do get enough ice I will be pulling the disc this year!!

Today I only checked a little distance out as it was open water just a day or two ago.  While Cindy and I were at Bluefin Bay on the North Shore for a break before it starts, (the couple of days),  What ice we had before we left, blew north and it had opened up.  So there is only 2-3 inches in the first 100 feet.  We are going to wait awhile……

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving with family and friends.  And lets all hope we get some more ice out there before we see much snow!!

Keep a Tight  Line!!

Looked out over the lake this morning the SE winds was breaking up what had froze on the main lake overnight and moving it north.  Even though it was cold, the main lake was not ready,  There will be ice in the bays that will stay, but the chances of the main lake locking up are pretty slim for awhile.   The forecasted temp the next seven days are cold, but not cold enough I’m thinking to get it to freeze up and stay put.

Hope everyone stays safe and uses some common sense out there in the next couple weeks. Meanwhile we’ll keep plugging away getting houses and equipment ready.

Keep a Tight Line!

Making ice this morning.  Last night the N-NW wind kicked in and the cold came with a vengeance.   I’m thinking we are going to see alot of ice on the main lake by the end of the weekend.

Not jumping the gun yet, but this could be an early start this year.   We’ll see…….

Keep a tight line!
