Drilled and sat on one hole for a couple hours and caught fish consistently without having to move bounce around searching. Plenty of ice on little lake although I did not measure.

There was at least 18" of ice yesterday. I could haul my mother in law's fat kiester in the back of my 3/4 ton jeep and not go through. Not sure how I would get her up there. Maybe roll her down a hill or throw a Little Debbie in the back....

I seldom drive on the ice. I have a fleet of sleds I tow. The auger is starting to get heavt, so maybe next year I'll rig my 4 wheeler for ice travel.

A few were driving out today, getting on was starting to soften a bit but still OK tonight. Spikes and minnow heads were about even for me. Bigger ones came on minnow pinched

Had a good day today. Fishing was great right from the start! We used mudbugs and buckshot spoons. The ice was 15-18 with 3 to 4 inches of slop on top.

How thick is the ice on little lake

toofuss · « **Reply #2056 on:** Nov 27, 2013, 07:56 PM »

well?

CrappieBuster · « **Reply #2057 on:** Nov 27, 2013, 08:10 PM »

Oldbear: I'm still in the North Central Iowa area...

Little lake on the west end was 3-4 inches(estimated) and silky smooth. Even some kite skaters out there covering most the lake. After a few more cold nights and the slight warmup it should be good to go for quads next week. Houses in a week and a half i'm guessing. Fishing was piss poor lotsa lookers no takers.

A lot of lookers and no takers $:-\$

We fished Clear most of the day and managed a few small eaters. Found a few perch today also. It would be great to see them make a good come back.

SpoonieLuv · « **Reply #2060 on:** Nov 30, 2013, 09:13 AM »

IAEYE were you on the little lake or the BIG one. Nice bunch of yellows and a beauty of a crappie.

redshackdistrict · « **Reply #2061 on:** Nov 30, 2013, 03:15 PM »

Thats a nice pile... How was the ice up that way? It was 65 here today so thinking about heading north tomorrow. I can't wait any longer, need to get some fish on the ole short poles.

Oldbear · « **Reply #2062 on:** Nov 30, 2013, 06:54 PM »

Redshack I think you need a new thermometer I live 25 miles straight East of you and its half that temp now.

To bad those weren't perch instead of yellows!

We were on the little lake yesterday and it was slooooooooow. Everyone else said the same thing. Caught a few yellows but very slow.

icefisher4 · « **Reply #2066 on:** Dec 01, 2013, 09:04 AM »

Yeah. Were you on McIntosh? I think one we get sine snow or should pick up.

cyclones30 · « **Reply #2067 on:** Dec 01, 2013, 09:03 PM »

Yeah I was, sounded like the others out there on Sat had the same experience. Today and Friday were a little better. Go figure...

IAEYE · « **Reply #2068 on:** Dec 03, 2013, 08:48 PM »

The ice took a hit but it wasn't bad. Should be great by Saturday or Sunday. Just a little heads up if your fishing over 8ft your fishing to deep. At least that's what I have seen.

icefisher4 · « **Reply #2069 on:** Dec 03, 2013, 08:51 PM »

How thick is it now?
