Trying to get a collective estimate on the thickness of the ice, thanks!

Anyone out there with sleds or 4wheelers...what’s your take on bringing a machine out? Having wheels is always nice to bounce from spot to spot

No you're good. I take all the thicknesses reported to get an average to determine if it is getting close for the sled, ticker isn't up to the drags required on Oneida Lake... thanks!

Oneida Lake.

That 5-7" is what one guy found at his location, ice thickness can differ greatly depending where you are and the conditions found... tread carefully and good fishing to you sir!

Monster sea smelt on the Kennebec river   :icefish: That was the biggest smelt at the camps and her first one. Now she is ready for more

Got out on Oneida today, easy walking on the South shore. First time out with our new thermal frabill, I'll never go back to a shanty that's not insulated!! The warmth is amazing

I was out today. Ice where we fished was about 6”. There were sleds and wheelers running around. Need to watch for cracks. We found some perch and 5 keeper eyes. Tons of short walleye around. Creepers were a must for walking. Play safe guys and gals!!🎣🕳

Wiredstone, I know it's not as cool as a trip to Maine but the harbors in Buffalo usually get clogged with smelt buy mid season. If you need a smelt fix and you are in the area, drop a line.
If life were easy everybody would have one.

Fished out of Sylvan Beach yesterday.  Ice was great at 6-8 inches.  Fished in 18-22 fow  Very little action for me.  No walleye, few perch.  There were couple of sleds out.  Talked to few people, no one reported good action where I was.  Glad to see that other people did way better then I did.  Great job, guys.  Will try again next week.
