I know that there is none yet, but getting close........ Can feel it in the air and a check of some local skinny water spots in SE Wisconsin this morning are showing positive signs of icing up!
Let's use this space to post ice sightings and conditions throughout the season.
Travel safe and use caution checking early ice spots. Safety first!

Thanks for the update Jim. Nice crappie that you caught!
Ice starting to form on SE WI lakes! Tichigan, Big Muskego, Eagle! Larger lakes still open but should lock up with the predicted cold over the next 36 hours. Tichigan gave up some good gills and crappies today! Clam Caviar jig with white Maki Polli plastic.
Be safe and always aware. Check with your local bait shops before you go out ensure that conditions are safe for travel. Have a throw rope and ice picks with you at all times. Make sure that your ice picks float!

Ice conditions in south east Wisconsin have claimed a life this week. Lake Geneva, a large spring fed jewel of a lake is not safe at this time. Please be aware as you travel the lakes in this area over the next few days. Ice conditions can change quickly as we have had no -0 temps in the past 18 days and we have experienced only 3 days in the last 18 that were in single digits. Prediction is for some low temps in the next 3 to 4 days, so things should firm up a bit. As shared in the first post - have your flotation devices with you and take every precaution that is necessary. Fish with a partner, let other's know where you will be fishing and apply common sense at this time.
RIP Mike............. My thoughts and prayers to your family.
