does anyone on here live close enough to raystown lake that they know to the week when all the ice is gone?

Robdob,I was talking to a guy I work with today that lives right outside the lake by Seven Points.He said that in a normal year there would already be alot of open water by this time.He said they were on the lake last weekend and had no ice and water temp. was 39.From what he said they did quite well,catching some nice size largemouth.I hope this helps. Joe

Sounds like an early trip, any idea where the largemouth are?

Hi Mike.No he didn't give away any secrets.I have never been out this early myself,So I'm not much help.Good Luck!

My brother doesn't live far from there and said he hasn't seen any ice on the lake this winter.

i drive over raystown lake every week.. no ice at all allyear... water temp was in low 40s two weekends ago... im actually heading to the spillway of the dam here in alittle bit to target stripers and walleye and hopefully catch something

caught 3 largemouth and 1 smallie at raystown today

WTG Robdob.I haven't made it out yet,can't wait!
