I remember I think in the early 80s I was at the pond hand drilling well over 2’ ran to town and bought a model 30 jiffy by the time the freeze subsided I was bottoming out 1 more day and I would have had to spud , in those days we drove our trucks out ,

Now you are talking icefishing..

Hit some real small water close to home yesterday, the crappie bite was on!

Called a friend and his son to get in on the action.

Oh come on --- It's been a bit more recent than that that we've driven a truck on the Pond!

ahhh yes, the day we went to retrieve your machine because you left the kill switch off and it wouldn’t start!!😜😜😜

Bribed release with a beer 🤪

KingPerch · « **Reply #1029 on:** Jan 01, 2018, 02:30 PM »

I can remember when I was a kid, walking out of mill street with my uncle. A bucket, two rods and a spud. He’d tell me to spud holes as he fished.Had to be 2’ or more of ice. He always had a away of getting limits before I finished spudding holes. 🤨 crazy ol buzzard!!

i think it was 2014 or so we had over 2ft of ice and i saw several cars out there may have been earlier the 2014 but it wasnt to long ago

Hey ..... I think I know where that ''secret'' spot is!

Nicely done Rugburn.

I remember spudding holes like it was yesterday KP. That was always fun. 2' deep hole would be about 2' across too.

KingPerch · « **Reply #1036 on:** Jan 02, 2018, 06:01 AM »

Lol, I got yelled at after the first hole... “ You gotta start about 16” at the top.......!!!!” 😁 I miss that ol buzzard!!!

12-14” of new snow in Parish last night!!!😡 -1* this morning. How much snow did the lake get?

fishhooksul · « **Reply #1037 on:** Jan 02, 2018, 06:10 AM »

about 4 TO 5" here in brewerton. Sully...

Chowdaire · « **Reply #1038 on:** Jan 02, 2018, 06:58 AM »

Only an inch or 2 of snow in North Bay.

Same amount in Constantia. That will slow the ice making down for a bit.

pimplepounder · « **Reply #1040 on:** Jan 02, 2018, 07:49 AM »

Hopefully those winds keep the ice clear supposed to be up to 25mph

definitely truthful, fish absolutely head lower in the water column when they are seeking stability.

fishhooksul · « **Reply #1043 on:** Jan 02, 2018, 04:31 PM »

got out for the 1st time for a couple hours this afternoon. ended up 37 nice gills, and sunnies. it was great to get out on the hard water. 12" of clear black ice with 3" of white ice on top. the wind was a little tough !! Sully...

filetandrelease · « **Reply #1044 on:** Jan 02, 2018, 04:33 PM »

Well done Sully 🎣

atta boy Sully.......good talking to you today........that wind had to have been brutal

scout57 · « **Reply #1047 on:** Jan 02, 2018, 04:46 PM »

quite a bad situation up at Chaumont today........blizzard conditions popped up rather quickly apparently and stranded some guys in blinding whiteout conditions......quite a descriptive report on Chaumont Hardwares website.......kudos to Greg for some quick thinking........this kind of thing can happen out of nowhere......scary stuff

choo choo · « **Reply #1048 on:** Jan 02, 2018, 06:07 PM »

Definitely scary stuff...they are lucky the guy's Navionics worked during that whiteout rescue....sometimes the GPS fails during whiteouts and blizzards. Compass should be carried by all out on the ice, especially big lakes.
Glad everyone got off safe without frostbite or worse.

It was online. Didn’t get a chance to read beyond the description of the graphic yet.
