[MNBucKKiller]

swamps are starting to freeze... thats 'bout it.  It wont be long tho if we get the forcasted temps

[Mayfly]

Yeah.. Take a look at this!

[Desperado]

November 28th
I found a 60 acre bay in Aitkin County with a half inch to three quarters of an inch on 50 of the 60 acres.
I would guess that someone might sneak out onto that bay this weekend.
I'd be back up there myself to check it out tomorrow or Saturday, but I'm at the ice fishing show all weekend.

A few smaller ponds have gone back to skim ice. The forcast winds for tuesday is the only day i see the wind really dies. hopefully lakes start to lock up before then!

Looks like Duck, Little Jeff, and Clear in Lexington are covered, Tetonka, Sakatah, and Madison look to me to be 90 to 95%!!!!   Won't be long now!!!                   Hey KTapper hows German looking?

[Jdrummer]

If I can find my spud bar tommorow I might get out and try some bays on a few area lakes? Depends if my hunting plans fall through? :fishing2:

In the cass lake area my friends were out fishing today on some of the smaller lakes. 2 1/2 to 3 inches.

For those curious about the Winona area, The little ponds around Winona have a light skimming of ice and Lake Winona is starting to fill in around the bays.  We are supposed to get a storm, 6-12 inches, so that could put a damper on things!
I havent checked on Bartlet, but im sure it needs some more time since it has some springs!
I will be doing some scouting this weekend and hopefully finding thick enough ice to fish on!

ITS SUPPOSED TO GET COLD!!!! 

[Jdrummer]
