Time to start watching this thread!! My pick of the 26th might be close!!!! Thats a week from today.....the shorelines along the eastside are showing some open areas that will start allowing it to get some movement!!

Might see some ice piling later this week!!

I'm guessing by the 27th of April it should be clear with all the wind and rain the week.

Babs · Member

Well, I just watched the coolest thing on the time lapse bobber cam. I have never seen a ice going out in time lapse and I think I just did. Not to mention that it also appears to be the day I picked!

Bobber · Admin / Moderator

sorry...2/3 of the lake is still ice covered!!!

Rickster · Member

The 26th is still looking good! I'm just glad to see waves again. Had a blast at the MTT in Red Wing and can't wait for Mille Lacs.

Babs · Member

(crap) I thought we were supposed to pick the date that the ice left Hunter's Point. That the only place that really matter right?

Glen Ertl · Gray Goose Captain

What ??? George ran out of ice !!! Say it isn't so....

Actually, when the Messenger blesses the ice as out, that's what we typically go by. biggrin

Jason Bongers · Veteran Member

As of noon today there was still ice, but I think it will be gone by morning

So what is the prize anyway? Hopefully more than just those bragging rights. wink

When I saw the lake last Sunday I didn't think my guess had a chance.

I didn't make to Formica Flats for the party until about 7:30 or 8:00. Things had slowed down a bit by then. Still, the drinks were good and so was my dinner.
