Looks like great weather for ice fishing this weekend

[EdWort]

Maybe even make some ice apfelwein with MNBugeater.

Ed,
I was thinking of you when I heard about the Alberta clipper coming through (well Yooper too) Stay warm and just keep singing "We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave."

Hope you catch your limit and have a good time.

 

[Yooper]

Yep, it's chilly out there today. I had to dig out a pair of gloves. If it gets much colder, I'll need a hat.

That's 'cuz a stiff wind'll blow you right over.

hmmmm..... where you gonna be Ed?

I was just serving up a few growlers of the last of my Bee Cave Oktoberfast on the ice. I am now a local celebrity with the guys.

Congrats on the Oktoberfest!

I'll be fishing on Lake of the Woods at Lake of the Woods, MN - Arnesen's Rocky Point Resort

It's pretty much the most northern latitude in in the continental US.

Sweet! Have fun!

Ed--

The national services; Weather.com, Accumeather, Yahoo.com, etc always underestimate and under report the temperature.
Thermometer hit -45 this morning but couldn't get a picture in time. Here is what we had...

See you Friday, ill bring some extra Barleywine and Apfelwein.

 

[EdWort]

I guess fishing in shorts is not an option.

 

[flyangler18]

Consumption of barleywine is unequivocably mandatory with no argument in such circumstances.

 

[MNBugeater]

Depends how good the heater is in the house.

Yeah, we'll be dipping ice out of the holes frequently this year!

 

[jeff967]

You guys frozen your @ss's off yet?

 

[GloHoppa]

EdWort Good luck!! I hope you have as much success as I did when I went up in Bowdoingham, ME this past Monday! We caught 150 smelts and my dad and I are doing a fish fry on Sunday morning. I actually drank some Apfelwein to keep warm

Here are some pictures

 

[BooneDocks]

Just wheel your brew stand out across the ice to your shanty -- no need for a wort chiller this weekend.

No worries- it's getting warmer today. It was up to -35 today for a low today, and it's supposed to be above 0 by tomorrow. Ed- you should be warmer just in time to go home!
