Title: Missy Red Bridge Recon
Post by: TennesseeFreeze on Feb 01, 2018, 01:43 PM
Went out to Red Bridge at Mississinewa.
                 Ice from Red Bridge Marina to Dam, Open water except for coves upstream of that. Pics are standing on top of Red Bridge looking towards Dam, The Red Bridge Boat Ramp looking straight out. The Holes I cut at Cove at the Ramp. The far hole thickness. I weigh 150, slowly worked my way out to center of cove at boat ramp. I cut 3, 10 inch holes. Ice increased in thickness from 4 to just shy of 6 inches as i worked further from bank. Edges generally bad but found several places to walk straight out. Tested several pressure cracks that appear to be tightening and seemed surprisingly solid. Ice i cut was not really honeycombed or grey, just felt a little soft as I turned the auger. Same consistency throughout ice, no layers. Just checking ice, no fishing equipment with me. Will check the main body out from the big point you see in the pic from the bridge in morning. Heres some accurate info as of noon today ya"ll. Do what you will with it and be safe. After having walked around a bit and putting the blades to the ice, i feel like I'll be comfortable pecking around in the shallows after a couple more nights. Good luck my friends.

That might be the best report of ice conditions I've ever seen on here. Thanks, beats the dropped rock from bridge all to pieces. What was the clarity like not that it needs to be clear.

 Update...
   I went back out at noon today. Last nights cold did the ice a lot of good. The water just under and upstream of the bridge is now glazed over, yesterday, everything but the cove in the top right corner of pic was open water. Looking From Red bridge towards dam the ice is forming up left side now. Open water is shrinking. The edge has tightened and thickened considerably overnight. I could walk on wherever i pleased.  The holes I cut yesterday were frozen over and could not be broken through. I cut four holes today. First was 8 feet further out from yesterdays, into middle of boat launch cove. One closer to shore.(big improvement there). Then two working out to middle at mouth of cove. I measured 6 plus inches consistently in everything i drilled today. Even closer to bank (just little shy of 6 there). there are shad everwhere out here. On the ice, in the ice, on the bottom, everywhere.  Ice was very vocal when i was walking around on it today!! I love the sounds it makes when its freezing up!! I'm gonna work around the boat launch cove with a beemoth where i know its solid in the morning.  I'll let ya"ll know if I get into em heavy.

Excellent report Tennessee Freeze! I went across Red Bridge at 3:00 PM just after you. The area of open water is smaller but there were a number of areas of open water around the lake. The "rock Test" was not good. The rock went through the ice like the stock market today. No more than one inch of ice near the bridge support and even some open water around the support. PLEASE be careful as the thickness will vary greatly. I was surprised at the amount of open water after a night where the temperature was at 9 degrees. I did see about one dozen bald eagles along the Wabash and the Mississinewa. Do not venture out alone and treat this like first ice even though some areas will have over 6 inches!

Post by: TennesseeFreeze on Feb 03, 2018, 02:08 PM
Took a couple of pics from Red Bridge when I left out today. The entirety of the main body is now froze over. Granted it is just "skim" in many places. It was still good to see open water close up. The edges have tightened considerably in the 48 hours. I have marked the guardrail post on Red bridge so i can take pics from the same general spot. A time lapse of sorts. It was cool to watch the lake freeze over for round 3 this year. There were a dozen or so people out, scattered here and there throughout the Lake. Mostly in the coves.  A few shantys. Mostly just guys on buckets. Caught a few, nothing amazing. Was good to wet a line and feel some weight. I mostly poked around the Red bridge marina, everything i cut today was 6 to 7 inches thick. Be careful if we get the projected snow. It will make the lake look good from the surface when in reality the thickness will vary greatly. Good Luck to everyone.

I went over to Red Bridge and the marina saturday. There were at least 3 big signs that said NO FISHING  in the marina area! I have not seen them before, anyone know what's up? There were 5 people fishing but heard the bite was slow.
Title: Re: Missy Red Bridge Recon(Updated)
Post by: TennesseeFreeze on Feb 04, 2018, 10:40 AM

I did not get your names. Yall shoot me a p.m. if you read this. They were killin em when i left the ice. 6 inches thick at all holes drilled today.

Any thoughts on what this snow might do to the ice?
Title: Re: Missy Red Bridge Recon(Updated)
Post by: TennesseeFreeze on Feb 06, 2018, 11:22 AM
I hear ya Big buck..... Man, that was alot more snow accumulation than I thought we were gonna get! I will be headed out to check er out a little later. Super curious how shes holding up with all this powder on top of her.  Anybody got any input on what a good snow does to the bite? Not just at Mississinewa, but in general. Its got to be darker than normal under the ice. Maybe some extra pressure from the weight of the snow?
It was good to meet you bass head. Thanks for the tip about "the" jig. I picked up a couple that look very similar, ready to make em swim.

Post by: TennesseeFreeze on Feb 06, 2018, 04:34 PM
Went out and checked out the Lake. There is 3 inches of good snow on top of the ice. As of now it is not slushy. The edges held up ok. One big step and your on in most places. I measured 6 to 7 inches in all the holes I drilled. There were two guys at boat ramp. Seven or eight guys across the water on the north side. Talked to Danny, fishing in the Redbridge launch cove. He said it was a very slow day. He was marking, they were peckish. He had 7 in 4 hours compared to 23 yesterday. Thanks for the ride back up the hill Danny! I'll be out in the morning Reel Ice Hole. Pics are looking West, looking East, snow depth, ice depth. Good Luck Ya'll. @)

Met up with Reel Ice Hole, did some fishing. Thanks for the flasher tips Man. :) Ya'll Reel Ice Hole is one cool dude to fish with, and definitly knows his way around the ice. I appreciate the conversation my friend. Hope you wore em out after I left.  Very tough today. They were often interested, I just could not get em to bite. Wish I had a picture of a big pile of fish to show off, but it just wasn't that kind of day. Several people out. Met Big Willie and I Walton. Good guys, was nice to meet Ya'll. The ice was 6 inch. The edges were solid. 3 inches of snow on ice. No slush.

Post by: Reel_Ice_hole on Feb 08, 2018, 11:01 AM
Why thank you sir! It was nice to meet you as well! I stayed out til 6, got so fixated on watching my screen that I ended up being the last guy to leave the ice - edges were solid.... what I thought was kinda soft looking was on solid ground lol - I managed one that wrapped around my ducer and freezes himself from the skin hook they were coming in waves, and could get their attention, but they would get close enough to sniff my jig and change their mind and swim off lol. The day was totally worth it though!!

There were two people out at Redbridge boat launch. I did not cut holes or walk out but it looked good from the truck. I apologize for lack of measurement. Its fishable. Here's the the views looking West then East from RedBridge around 5pm.

Lots of Fish.  Always fun my friend :). Thats a "Reel" fisherman right there ya'll! Big Buck good to finally meet you brother!!!Figured it would happen sooner or later.
                       If your out there lurking, sign up, meet some people that like to fish as much as you do. Learn some things you didnt know, pass on something you do know. It will make you a better fisherman. Super Stoked about tomorrow! The Crew together again! See ya'll on the ice!

Be careful all those rushing out there... it's dying and dying quick, ice has gone from freezing and making ice two days ago to bubbled and slushy on top... may still be good tomorrow, but with the coming weather... oh and another thing the ground is warming quick and clouding the water close to the bank

Thank You Crew
Time to head up to Michigan, going to follow the ice north this year. I would like to thank the following fisherman from this site that came together to figure out the slabs while poking around Redbridge this season. These guys are Awesome. They were unselfish, open to provideing whatever knowledge they could bring to the table to help the group, and just Cool people to Fish with. I am a better Ice Fisher today because of them. Brian and Chance we are brothers from other mothers. Time to take the band on the road. The Crew will not rest. Its in our blood.

Reel Ice Hole  (Crew) Brian                                                  Offsite- Mickey, Russ, Jerry, Thomas
Ct83               (Crew) Chance
I Walton
Big Willie        (I wish you a speedy recovery from your 105 spill)
Big Buck
basshead
 
Good Luck to Ya'll and I wish you tight lines in the future, sincerely
Tennessee Freeze, Nick Haas
