It is 12F outside right now and supposed to get to -4 tonight...doesn't look like it will get above freezing for the next week at least in eastern SD. Our hunting on the big water is done. We will keep some hardy mallards and Canadas hanging around on the ice as long as they can get to picked corn in the fields so its field hunting only in these parts now.
We have no snow on the ground. I don't want it to be over but we really need lots of snow to fill up our wetlands.
 
Dwight -

Are the water frozen around Bookings? I know that whatever hits your area hits mine a day or two later. I'm hoping the bigger waters don't freeze around here until after Monday but I don't think I'll make it that long. One last hunt in thw southern WI zone would be nice - especially after this weather that is coming through.

Mark,
I am pulling a 12 in the ER today but I will be on the road first thing in the AM to see if I can get the boat in the water one last time. The deeper lakes around here might make it one more night but I doubt it. I have guard drill this weekend but next week I will head down to the river at Vermillion and hope the current can hold off the freeze for a few more days. I hope you can get one more hunt in. We will be going back and forth to Pierre until January now since it is unlikely that all of the big water over there will completely freeze up.
 
Looks like its time to start getting my icefishing stuff sorted out. Travis, I know you're envious.

I might have to actually find some gloves for this weekend. travis
 
Just watch the ditch and I bet you can find a jersey glove or two along the way.

Minus 3 on the WY/CO border this AM. LOTS of flocks of Canadas heading for Texas under the stars last night.
 
still working trying to get off for tommorrow.... sat is gonna be on like a chicken bone, but I wouldnt mind a headstart on my crew. my indiana bud robert is scared to come down for the weekend, afraid he might not make it back in the ice... heck if the ice is too bad to make it back, he wont want to go back! I gotta dig up his number and call him myself... I can talk him into it! travis
