safe ice tomorrow?
« on: Dec 25, 2007, 09:42 PM »
does anyone think that the ice will still be safe tomorrow after all the rain and warmer days? I'm anxious to try out my new gifts!

Depends where you go.... I was at Dunmore yesterday and there was a good 6-10 inches after all the rain we got. Didn't get a bite though, and not another soul on the ice. Monkton pond you wont have any trouble with the ice. Any small shallow ponds you should be ok... But take a chisel and avoid areas where there is inflows etc....

I ended up going on St Albans Bay. 5-6 in. of ice by the boat launch. Only a few perch, lost a walleye in the hole. There were a couple of spots that weren't the safest so I'd keep my eyes open.

I estimated it to be 20-23 inches had it on a pin head minnow threaded on a small glow-jig
