Upper Red lake is posting on FB with 5" of ice.  hmmmm...I need to go to the local lake and check out how much ice!!!!

Time to dig up the floating assist suit, hand auger, hand chisel. 

Or should I go all out and grab ice fishing gear and all.  Well looks like forecast for next few days are well above freezing thaw so, maybe no ice fishing.  We were so close to ice fishing Thanksgiving this year.  But as long as the temps are below freezing at night, maybe Xmas will be a go for sure.

Bad sign if here's still water anywhere on the lake.

I don't do ice-fishing, so I don't really care though.

And now some snow, so definitely gonna wait out till Xmas.

Snow on top of ice, builds slower ice.

Many people are already fishing up north.

Christmas is a good time.

Probably more wishing this season rather than ice fishing.

With this cold weather on week of Thanksgiving.. .maybe the daring will venture out this holiday weekend.  I will not as older me, will not swim alive from a dunk.

After a few years of really not ice fishing...seem s like it's all just wishing now.

no enthusiasm for me this year.  It sort of seems like things have plateaued or the niche has become saturated.

The bait casting BFS is still not emerging into ice fishing, after so many years.  I've been at the forefront of it, but I'm not an influencer so it's just an old man's secret technique.  Actually super old before the spinning reel trend.  But I know I started the inline flyfishing reel trend, not really as it was actually old timer's method, but I sort of re-lit the fire under that.

Getting older and less energetic.  For sure less risky.

Nothing new for common folks, except for rich people stuff - like electronics and recreation vehicles.

Wish they would just really create insulated portables...do uble wall shelters, double paned windows, double zippers, weighted shelter skirts or at least skirt weights,...lots of other ideas lost at the back of my head...
