Ice predictions

Last year was not good. Coming off two fantastic years before, that was a disappointment. I think it was 2013-14 that was the best ice season I've seen in many years (Round Valley was frozen solid, how often does that happen?) I was still fishing through 14 inches of ice in late March. 2014-15 was pretty good too. Solid ice through late March. Last year was close to 2012-13, which was terrible.

I don't recall two years in a row like last year or 2012-13. Great seasons in a row like 2013-14 and 2014-15 are also pretty rare. The normal ice fishing season in NJ seems to run late Dec or early Jan. to Late Feb and ocassionally into early March. I'd be happy with that.
