As we have been enjoying the mild temps the last few days and looks like a few more coming, this has been enjoyable for getting out but not so good for the ice on our lakes. Driving by a couple of lakes this afternoon we are seeing the snow is completely gone and there is standing water on top of the ice. Folks out still out there fishing and that is our plans for tomorrow so hopefully we have a few more days of being able to get onto the ice. The rain last night didn't help any at all either and between the rain and sunny warm days, this is going to take a toll on the ice. The fish are still there waiting to give us a tug on our line but we know that we are going to be having a spud bar with us for each step that we make out there. If you are going to venture out onto the ice to do some fishing, we are becoming a broken record and keep saying to be very careful out there. New England's weather changes just like the days and we can go from one extreme to another in a matter of hours. Always be aware of what you are doing out there and also kind of watch what other folks are doing as well as we need to keep an eye out in case someone needs that extra hand. Enjoy these nice days of late December and being out on the ice in these temps doesn't get any better but there are circumstances that come with that and we don't want anyone to become a statistic...
