I drove past this afternoon. It looks like the middle turned to white ice. I see they moved the west aerator farther east. It's in between dodges and the island to the north.

The little lake is ready I even seen a few snowmobile tracks out there. Alotta the snow blew off. There are some slushy spots that should turn into white ice. I measured 4in of good ice off the grade about 75 yds. Gonna hit the 24 ft hole tommorow morning. Should be even better after -10 tonight. Stay safe fellas shes gettin there. 8)

Bigblue: big blue froze over last night snow free! should be out there soon

how many lakes have gone to spit and had to be drained because of yellow bass? TOO MANY. What needs to be done is everyone of those that comes out a hole taken out and I bet even then you still wouldn't notice a difference. It would take years. Just think how many eyes those fish eat. You can jig a spoon as fast as you want and they come charging. Just think about that. Keep em all

They were biting pretty steadily today. Whites,Yellows,Eyes,Crappies the whole shabang. Snowmobilers thought the ice was safe enough. $:-\$

I'm stuck down here in southern Iowa waiting for the bigger lakes to freeze up. I am going to get the gear ready and head up there this weekend. This will be a one time trip for me (due to the drive time) so if anybody has any advice it would be appreciated. I am not looking to steal anybodys "honeyhole" just a point in the right direction would be appreciated to keep me from wondering aimlessly. Send me a P.M. if you can help out in anyway. I have never been on the lake and am just looking for a good starting point. thanks!

In past years find the Island and go a bit past it on the West Side 14"fow and good luck..... They seem to bite early and then at dark... I hope I can get up there this weekend...

CrappieBuster · « **Reply #656 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 09:53 PM »

Its pretty much all good for an atv and portable on the little lake. We brought our house out today smack dab into a tough bite. When we were hooking up to bring the house out we talked to someone that drove their car out. I wouldnt no matter how small it is.........The ice isnt very consistent. Theres 10 inches of junk in some areas and 7 inches of good ice in other areas. 5 in others. Be safe or wait another week.
