The down south thread.

Still working down here in south land , no frozen ground in sight…. Usually done by now…. Will take it maybe this global warming isn’t so bad after all?

Heck...you can almost do both at the same time too.  Tiefsa posted a video of paddling out in his kayak, breaking some ice along the way.  Then busting a hole in the ice with his kayak paddle, jig fishing through the ice hole with an open water rod and caught a pike.  ​

Amen SM!

If this is climate change, I'm loving it!

Going open water crappie fishing this Saturday! 

That's the great thing about the diverse opportunities in Wisconsin.  The "down south" area spans 140 miles from its northern border to its southern border.  You can experience great ice fishing now "down south" and you can open water fish too.

Still open water fishing and loving it!

No complaints here!

There's definitely plenty of ice fishing taking place down south.  It just depends whether you are on the "northern zone" of down south or the "southern zone" of down south.

Christmas in the south is supposed to be 50° and rain

No ice Fishing down south due to having no ice. Just cold enough to be annoying but not ice making. 

Echo lake is only 3’ deep but under that 20’ of muck lol.    It should be very good after they drain and dredge it.    

I with you their pool, I don't understand how someone can put there life in jeopardy for a few fish. People die every year from being stupid.

Took these pictures around 2 weeks ago , Echo lake. More daring than I am.

Yesterday evening Echo Lake was iced over. Won’t be the case today. We’re getting a late start for sure. It would have been nice to get a good solid base down before the snow starts. 

High 40s for the rest of the week and a pretty warm weekend as well

We have ice here in the south. In the freezer. Won’t be any in the lakes or Rivers for a while. If any. 

Anyone notice how big the buds on the trees are?   Already!
