Not to worry..........scientists from a major New Jersey institution of higher learning are working on a way to get all of you hard water anglers a chance to drill some holes on your favorite ponds much earlier in the year. It won't matter how cold or warm the nights are to get the water to firm up. They are experimenting with a substance which, when added to the water, will end any ice dancing forever. What is it you ask? They are adding little blue pills to some selected lakes and ponds to get things firmed up. It promises to get the waterways harder and thicker than by just waiting for things to happen normally.
