Good finish LLBM!

Warm front coming our way. Going to be a high of 60 degrees on monday. Tuesday back to reality!

See that forecast for next week? Highs in the 40’s and sunny skies. The lake i fish lost 2-3 inches of ice from Sat to last night. Got about a week of fishing left. These temp in the low teens at night are not going to help at this stage, there is just too much daylight right now. And just a reminder guys, we move the clocks ahead Sat night.

Its finally starting to warm this week. Supposed to be above freezing all day and all night until Sat. The ice is getting really thin here in southern ny. Im getting really antsy.

Hell i went ice fishing last night. Still 7 inches out there. 40’s next week. Almost guys, almost!

no more snow on the ground ye my neck of the woods now we need to get rid of the ice on the lakes

you boys is gettin antsy aint cha???  dont freakin blame you...that much snow would drive me crazy...which would only be a short drive....too

I went on a ride yesterday, to look at all the flooding here. Not much damage, thankfully, but it is doing a number on the ice that is left on the lakes. WOOHOOO..!! I can almost taste it. Spring is coming!!!!!!!!

You know I live about a 1/2 mile from the Illinois River and its high. It just dropped below flood stage, remarkably. The ground must have been really dry for a long time to take up all the snow we had this winter. I drove 15 miles north last night and there was snow cover everywhere.. Wierd

Well guys, here in north central Illinois it has begun. The local pond is iced-out. And the strip-pits wont make it til sunday. Just for you guys that are north of me, hang on its only 2 weeks away now.

How far North Central are you KPD? im in Central Illinois basically, right off I-55. im an hour 15 from Shelbyville, 2 hours from Rend, Hour from Carlyle, 45 Minutes from Sancris and coffeen both, 1 hour from Springfield and 2 hours to Newton, 2 hours to Egypt. i really havent been to any lakes that are non powerplant. I had a Club tournament last weekend at Coffeen, another 29th at powerplant, then on 6th my 1st non plant lake

I live in LaSalle-Peru, its an hour north of Bloomington on I-39. Right were I-39 and I-80 cross.

Is this weather is the midwest going to keep up? Holy S***!!! I am tired of it. Last year at this time we had thermoclines that already formed up. This year we are lucky to have water in the low 60’s. Its unreal!. Heck its been in the mid 40’s here at night. This is late May right?

Damn that global warming!!
