                Just got off the ice and read your post,I agree the more ice we get the better.
                It looks like we are gaining an inch aday with this cold snap.Had 4 flags today,but they all
                got off ,had one screamer thought for sure we'd hook up but no luck.Caught a few small
                gills will try again tomorrow.Keep that ice coming....

I hope it gets thick enough so that when it gets mild we can fish in our shirt sleeves for a while. I enjoy that kind of ice fishing.

My pond was making an inch a day until it hit 6 inches. Now only half an ice per day. The ice must insulate itself somewhat once it gets thick enough and slow down the freezing a little. I'm now at 7 1/2 inches on my front pond. Checked it with a tape measure. I look for 10 inches by the weekend.

Man it was brutal outside of the pop up! Glad I have one!
