Well the time has come (patiently waited)and I’ll be headed out the next 3-4 days. Ice where I’m going was at 3.5-4” thick as of yesterday evening so hopefully it continues to build even with this blanket of snow forecasted. The plan is to target crappie , perch and some gills. I’ll post updates as I can. Good luck to anyone going and stay safe
@TinyTucky drilled some holes in my pond and had non-stop perch and crappie action. I'll probably set the shanty up so the girls can fish some this weekend. Should have around5-6" by now.
We will be out Friday, Sat and Sun. Good luck fellers. Wear your saftey gear.
Trying to talk my brother into checking his pond....he's a wimp.
Snow insulates ice more than you think. Be careful! As much as I want to get out I'll give it another week.
Guys ice fishing on the pond across the street.
Wish I had the time to break away from work right now. I’d be fishing somewhere. 4-7” of good clear ice up here at the moment.

Hit up two different lakes today with some success but not like I had hoped. Oh well..got enough perch for a decent meal so I’m thankful. Plus I got a couple dandy perch!
Ice was anywhere from 4-5 inches at both locations. It snowed 4-6 “ from the time I started until I called it after dark which made for one heck of a drag off the ice. I have the largest Shappell sled they make but obviously need to install some runners on the bottom. Tomorrow is another day

Classic problem… Good, fishable ice for a few days with ideal weather conditions. Word gets out, then the out of towners show up to fish. I’d be willing to bet most if not all of those folks getting rescued today traveled here from out of town. Open water in the south passage, a crack that was already open, and a stiff SSW wind… the perfect recipe for a moving ice flow, which most locals know to avoid like the plague.
