Ice Fishing Season 2013
Message:
Hi, Well ... Since being trapped at home by the snow -> I've been reading on many Ct. fishing forms the fustration of many old hands on ice fishing. The general consensus, by the majority of seasoned older ice fishermen, is that with this blizzard -> This years ice season is pretty much over with ! :shock: Too much heavy snow - Warmer temps (and more coming) - Slush under the snow - Rain - Serious inability to detect thin or weakened ice ! Plus ice fishing should be "FUN !" ......... "NOT WORK or STRUGGLING ONTO ICE" to catch a stupid fish :!: Present conditions require a much more "MANDATORY" effort on Safety ! My personal opinion is -> " When Ice Fishing Becomes More Work then Fun !" ....Then ....

When these dedicated pros (using common sense) call it quits -> IT'S OVER :!: SeaDog1 :cry: Oh! :shock: -> I'm absolutely sure there will be the "John Belusi's" that will say "It's Not Over" and that the German's bombed Pearl Harbor :roll: [img:e463dafb5c]http://www.ctfishtalk.com/gallery2.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=17414[/img:e463dafb5c]

Seadog your right it is definately alot of work just to go ice fishing but i think i am going to go somewhere NW that has good solid ice and only like 1-2 feet of snow :roll: still alot of snow but better than 3 feet down here in central ct and that will be on the last weekend in february. This spot had 8-11 inches of good black ice before the storm so i am not worried but it sure will be sloppy fishing! :lol: :lol:

I'm not throwing in the towel yet. But I'm not gonna wade through knee to waist deep snow either. I will burn gas looking on the chance that someplace the wind cleaned is fishable and has parking. Now that I said that my chances might be better buying a powerball ticket.
