If the past repeats itself I will have my first open water bass 2 months from today. Last year I got one my 2nd time out on March 7th. I've re-read the whole Beaver Fever jon boat mod thread getting psyched up for my conversion when the tax refund rolls in. I'm so excited about the 2013 season. I just feel so much more confident about catching big bass. I can't wait for Spring!!! Cabin Fever has a full hold of me
With only 4 to 5 inches of ice and were in the middle of January the odds are in your favor. Especially if the weekend forecast holds up. I just hope it either gets cold to be safe ice fishing or warm up to get the boat out. There's nothing more depressing than having unsafe ice for a period and not being able to launch.
I'd imagine the capes gotta have a few lakes or ponds with no ice, at least by the weekend if the weather goes as there saying. I know a place in CT that had no ice a few days ago but sadly my truck needs work done so i wont be able to get the boat out, but might hit a few off shore spots if i can find some open water this weekend.

Its suppose to be 40 all week down my way, there is still some open water on the watuppa, i dont think the frozen sections are more than just a thin covering
