Has anyone checked the bay at the Park? How thick is the ice? It's usually the first place to have safe ice.

Yeah, but you cant get to it unless the main lake is frozen safe. Heard it was open 2 days ago. Think it will be awhile yet. Too bad they closed the park.

Just got off the phone with crappie rob. He said he was standing on 2 inches in the pocket. He is going back home 4 his gear FISH ON. He walked thru the woods 2 get there. On the way out some guys were heading in, so, after talkin with him again he said the ice was 3 1/2 inches. IT IS SAFE

So how did you do Rob? We're all waiting on your report. Hope you caught a bunch.

crappie rob · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 06, 2008, 02:43 PM »

Heading back out around 4 p.m. I kept 8 nice crappies last night. Fishing without the shack was brutal last night. Ice was 3.5", going to drag the shack through the woods tonight. Alot of work, hopefully pays off!! C-ya, Crappie Rob.

Did anyone make it out on Loomis today? I'm in the DOG HOUSE so I couldn't get out!! HO HO HO!!! C-ya, Crappie Rob.

high_flags · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 07, 2008, 07:08 PM »

I just got done cleaning fish. It's 7pm. I fished from 2pm until 5pm . I got 2 nice bass on tip-ups. 22 gills. What a nice start to the season. I will try to post some pics.

crappiehunter · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 07, 2008, 07:37 PM »

High Flags, glad you got out and did well! Any size to the bass? How thick did you find the ice to be in that spot? It was 12 degrees last night so I'm sure it's making ice. Rob, here's something about being in the doghouse that you might enjoy.....we've all been there. I hope the review board is easy on you and you are wise with your words!! LOL!!

Awesome pics and nice bass and gills! Thanks for sharing!! I'm going to try to be out there later in the week or next weekend. I need a bit more than 3 inches for me!!

high_flags · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 08, 2008, 08:52 PM »

abishop, I was in the bay by the Park. bsufishinguy, I did not mind the questions on the ice , it's that I was having to yell back to you on shore and it was spooking the fish. I guess you weren't ready to take the risk and walk out. Just us crazies out there this time of year. You said you were going in the morning. How did you do?

crappie rob · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 09, 2008, 02:34 PM »

Anyone check Loomis today? I'm going to go check it out around 4!! We'll see what happens. C-ya, Crappie Rob.

bsufishinguy · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 09, 2008, 03:15 PM »

high flags...i was planning on going out in the morning..i got all my stuff around..and then realized that my uncle still has my auger from last year...lol...i got to the point where i loaded my stuff up and was going to go and see if i could kick in some holes left over from you but decided to wait till i got the auger on friday...now ill have to wait for more ice..cuz i don't think the ice we had will withstand the rain thats been pouring all day...

fishinfiend · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 09, 2008, 03:50 PM »

Nice bass, now we need more cold temps.

crappie rob · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 09, 2008, 08:14 PM »

We're sitting right next to each other in a two man shanty, hopefully next time he outfishes me........ Well you know what I mean. C-ya, Crappie Rob.

How much ice was there before the rain and how much was there now after all the rain? How were the edges of the lake? I think we got at least half inch of rain here if not more and temps were near 45 for much of the day.

Last time I fished it was Saturday, had approx. 4.5" of ice, there was 4" as of 7:30 this evening!! One other guy out and he said it was about the same as last nights ice. Did break through at the shore on the way in. That was in less than a foot of water. I was amazed at how well the ice withstood the rain. Go figure!! Glad I went and checked!! C-ya, Crappie Rob.
