I generally shoot for the first of April. Sometimes we're a few days earlier and sometimes a few days later. Last spring was cold early, and I have a feeling this one may be as well. Still 6-8 inches of ice on my lake, and it's only 14 degrees here so far today.

As soon as the Ice is off the lake! April / May

Ha ha EK. We start at the later end of March with the dry suit same lake as EK.

Although EK is warm blooded j/k

I could even try to go in March, but I am a little afraid of shrinkage. I never tried using a dry suit.

No Shrinkage with this

[da.bell]

it will start some time next month

Why yes it does. The only problem is finding a weekend when it's not raining and <60 degrees in March.

Mayish, I wish it never ended, but that would be way to expensive.

In Connecticut it was May and finished in September.

Now in S. FL it never ends.

ktmrider Where do you live in Miami?? I am looking at Moving down that way but there doesn't seem to be as many Lakes down there as there are up in Orlando. I am looking at buying a place in the Independance Bay Community. Have you heard of if? its up in Deerfield beach off Sawgrass pkwy and Florida turnpike. Will I want to look at as many places as I can on lakes so if you know of any it would be a great help in my search??
Thanks

Crazy, shoot Fast1911 a pm also, he lives down in that area as well. Like me, I think ktm uses his boat in the saltwater mostly.

June

I'm with you!!!

Unfortunately, mid May is when the water starts to get warm enough to go without a dry suit. Although a wetsuit is highly recommended.

Same here. We usually take the boat out on Mothers day, give or take a week, and use wetsuits till June.

Yeah not to sure if I am hip to the saltwater thing. I use to wakeboard in the ocean when i was living in Japan. I means its fine just not the same a a calm lake at 6 in the morning. I will see what fast has to say and go from there. Thanks for the help though.
