Heres 2 pics of 2inches of ice. There were some areas that were only 1 1/2 but every time i would go over to take pics the ice would start to sink.

BottomDweller · « **Reply #10 on:** Oct 26, 2007, 07:21 AM »

around the 20th of november i think. you'd hear rumbling ice on the other side of the lake coming toward you and the huge crack would go right under you. {pucker factor}

adirondackrick · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 01, 2007, 06:36 PM »

THAT IS WAY TOO CRAAAZY!

CrappieBuster · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 01, 2007, 06:53 PM »

First 2 1/2 inches im there. Ive only fell through once in about 10 yrs of doing that. Picks and boat cushion always come along...... Plus it has to be excellent crystal clear ice otherwise it aint gonna hold ya.

Heres a pic from last years first day out 12-2-06.This is good ice....

Neptune · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 02, 2007, 02:44 PM »

That looks like water!! it doesn't even look like ice....

Ya'll are Crazy walking on the thin stuff!!!

Stump Puller · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 02, 2007, 06:03 PM »

4", maybe, but not 2'

chimo · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 02, 2007, 06:54 PM »

And I thought I was crazy being out on 2.5 inches last year. the pic with the cracks is nuts. I've heard of people using boards strapped to their feet or ski's on an inch of ice or so. good fishing

if your only fishing in very shallow water whats the big deal. worst case scenario you go thru and your still standing up?

lets say 4 feet of water or less? sure u would be cold but i don't think it woulkd be life threatening. now going out in 10-15 ft of water on 2 inches i wouldn't do that

perchking4ever · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 03, 2007, 12:00 PM »

2 1/2"-3" is about my limit. My first trip out last year I was on 3 1/3" and we got that ice in like two days.

CrappieBuster · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 03, 2007, 11:11 PM »

Thats what I say, I'll go out and fish for Pike in big shallow flats as soon as there is 2 inches of hard ice. I wear wadders everytime and the deepest water I get over is maybe 5'. I've gone in waist deep a few times. The biggest thing is KNOW where you are fishing and stay in that chest deep or less water, the Pike are there and its pretty cool watching them swim around under your feet.

I keep hearing stories that a guy named Jesus used to out with less than a 1/16th of an inch

Icedog, that second pic is awesome!! Looks like you're just hovering there

Desperado · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 05, 2007, 06:50 PM »

this was on an inch and a half . . .
I would not have walked on it, but I'll ride on it in a vehicle that is basically a jonboat on wheels

Remember... When they are scooping your lifeless body from the bottom of the lake that fishing on thin ice does not prove you are a man...just stupid. Ever hear of natural selection? It's still at work in the human race.
