I think there was only a couple people wishfully thinking that's what happens on shelbyville, but many of us knew better!

Im gonna bring my Auger and short poles to camp.

Holy Crap---I saw that in the long range forecast, it is supposed to get above freezing toward the end of the week. Come on thaw.

You can watch fishing shows so you still know what open water looks like!

I hope it doesn't hold on that long......If I were to quess I would say the first week in March. Here in western Illinois we have 12 inches of ice however the forecast is for temp in the 50's later this week. If we get some rain and wind it will be hard on the ice.

We've got wind today. Talked to a guy yesterday that fished yesterday morning, said just @ 2' of ice. Let the thaw begin!

If y'all would install a few ice eaters around the lake, wouldn't have this problem.
