depends on rain.

Drive by LA this morning predator hunting hoping some of this snow on there melts and refreezes but it’s getting there.   Hit a local pond and had a good sold 4 inches or so of ice.  Fished from 9 to 12 and hammer the slime rockets and some gills.  All on the secret plastic.

Try them cheese puffs. Me and chute kill em at muddy creek

Two guys said they were on 2 1/2”. Not quite enough for me. Sled marks and a hole at McDaniels. Probably 4-5 fow someone went through just off the ramp. Stay safe and tight lines!

I love to ice fish but love life more....I can wait for better ice....I MEAN SAFE ICE...

[Coonhunter34]

That was me out there.  Stay close to shore tomorrow if you go out. Everything that's gray is bad  the snow has water under it  most measured was 2.5.   The patch to the left of where you walk on is basically just slush.  As seen in picture from bigfathead  the frozen slush that looks white felt ok. I'd suggest waiting unless you are prepared to go for a swim

I'm ready KOV'IE. Time to test the float suits. Let's see who's the first to swim tomorrow.

nice to meet you out there today beck... I hopenot too many guys venture out there tomorow.. Like you said. Most likely there will be quite a few out there tomorow . and most likely somebody is going through... Be safe.. As for everybody else... If you have not been there the last few days to actually see with your own eyes. I suggest staying off.. Yesterday there was a lot of open water patches. Today they are capped over and look ok but are most definitely not safe at all... I have been there a couple days in a row checking things out...i will be very carefull on there tomorow... No offense to anybody. Please stay away from me... I want no extra weight near me because ice is very sketchy..... I will be wearing a life jacket tomorrow.. If i move around... So should you

[Bigfathead]

Would’ve came out and introduced myself to you fellas but not on that ice. Big Fathead is my screen name for a reason😂

[TAP66]

I hope everyone stays safe. I'll wait for a solid 4"

[onestring]

ok so I guess you were fishing there with me then or can you tell how thick the ice is from a pic or in your car huh I didn't say the whole lake was 3 1,2   4  I said I found a spot with 3 12 4 and stayed there so it must be easy to tell me what I experienced from behind computed keys huh

I took  the picture cking ice  after cking the ice  and seeing what there was and the temps. You and your group being that close to each other  were lucky you all did not take a swim today...yes one did changed and he went on was crazy   No fish  is worth it ...I been ice fishing maybe  more years than your age....I love ❤️ the sport  and I love my family more just saying    Be safe not dumb just to say you were 1st...Merry Christmas...better ice is coming being retired I can wait...

[1moslab]

Don't pay them no mind onestring those 2 are always like that.thanks for the post explaining the ice conditions might keep someone dry

[jarhead]

If your still alive after today enjoy it because the next ten days don't look so good there are a lot of 40 and even a couple 50 degree days and the nites are mostly above freezing!! I will wait till after Christmas when in some years the ice is much safer. But enjoy it if your out and be Safe!!!
