I was out yesterday on a small lake the water temp 46 deg . Skim ice in bays near shore. The smaller creeks and water filled ditches were froze over. Picked up a few Crappies . Very slow bite. Time to put the boat and lawn mowers away . Good chance of ice fishing by Thanksgiving if not earlier .
I am with you. time to pot the boat away for the season.
Snow on the ground and more coming today.Attachment 386975
Temps are cold enough now to be making ice but weather forecast of 4 to 7 in more snow Thursday . It would be nice to have a good ice base so old duffers like me can drive out. Been having thoughts of early ice Walleyes on Lake Vermilion. Fishing memories again.
Wanted to try to get the boat out one more time, doesn't look good. That's what I get for buying a new boat late in the season. Oh well, let the winter begin I guess....

I was caught the same way waiting for the nice October days which didn't arrive. Oh well get the boat put away and get out the ice augers .
Darn! Winter has come early up there!! Used to live in MN and since moved to NC where the temp was 82 today. Come on down!
Keep that white stuff up north please.LOL

15' On the Iron Range this A.M. Looks like more snow later today. Got the boat put away and snow blower working. Could possibly be a repeat of last year had really good ice early then the snow started . Lakes were slushed up and hard to travel on. B52 you can send me a box of that 82 deg any time .
My 2019 notes say I was catching Crappies on 6 to 7 inches of good ice on Nov 15.
Oops is too late ! Looks like the boat might be going back in the water this week .
I'm with you. Gonna take it out tomorrow, should be a nice day, close to 60 in Garrison.Sent from my SM-J337V using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

Nice Wayne. I was out again yesterday on a lake south of Ely. 38* water temp. Managed 2 small northerns . 7 hrs fishing it was very hard to marked any fish . ( turn over doldrums ) Waiting now for 1st ice.
Thanks. A 12" and 13". I was on a lake real close to Mille lacs. Abit windy but had fun
You're right, time to put the boat away and check the ice rods. Supposed to have temps drop Monday.
