| I have some late fall experience, but have never been fortunate enough to experience the day-before-ice-up bonanza.
Any ideas why this reported bonanza takes place? Water does some strange things once it reaches 39.4 degrees F. Do you think this may play a role?
Is it worth breaking ice at the landing on a lake in hopes of hitting the ice-up bonanza or are your efforts just as well invested on larger lakes not yet forming ice?

| This past weekend we fished 5 different lakes. We had to break ice on one of them. There were 5 other boats on this small lake. We didn't see anyone else catch a fish. We caught one fish.
There was a lot more action on lakes with a surface temp around 37 - 39. The lake that was iced up had a surface temp of 32.6. |

| I have seen the water do REALLY weird things as it just starts to ice over, especailly if the temps are on the very freezing edge. I have never seen any increase in activity I could attribute to that, but was amazed at what the water I call 'heavy water' can do.[:bigsmile:] |
