Good deal. 2.5inches is ok with me. I just won't go out with full gear and my shanty.  bucket, pole and auger only.

How about ice picks, a rope, life jacket, cell phone and a buddie, maybe your floaties, oh and a hovercraft.

  There aint no stupid sunfish or dink perch worth that...I'll wait til theres 4 inches evenly.

If I have to be worried about how much gear I can bring with me to keep the weight down I’M NOT GOING

I'd tell you were the pictures are posted but that's top secret info. 

[SNAGGER]

  I didn't see any shanties there yesterday, unless your talking about the south pond..I was on albrotract rd..probably safe there.

[Reel Addiction 2]

Snagger I sent you a PM. I'm not posting pics up until I've been on the ice myself and make sure it's safe but at least you'll know where I got the pics.

I am really confused why fishing the Elms and Wigwam is made into such a secret...

Where else would you fish the pond?

[SNAGGER]

  I used to be a regular there til the canadians killed all the walleye with the lampricide, I'd show up at wig wams 2-3 hours before dark, walk out maybe 2-4 shanties most days, and get 5 or 8 eyes, usually 2 or 3 keepers, haven't been in a while but i here theres more people than that now and alot less eyes..

[huntny30]

I caught some on the South Pond this Summer...didn't fish very hard for them...I heard you were the best of the best for eyes SNAG...I have never caught one through the ice...I have never targeted them...I did break one of, good one too two years ago at Chaumont...Maybe I'll get lucky on the S. Pond this winter and get a couple...

[Reel Addiction 2]

on some nights this summer you could hear the eyes popping the top of the water. I love that sound. not a lot of them on pond though.

[huntny30]

Shine a light along the Shore of the South Pond in the Spring and you'll think a little different but definitely not recovered from the die off a few years ago...

as long as the ice freezes even it's cool but when the goon says his bung puckers i would listen , and fri. high about 42 have at it boys

  Oh I used to be a bouy boy too, top water for bass and jigs for eyes under the alewives at dark.

  I'm by know means the best, not even close... just enjoy doing it, to get eyes at the pond, stop targeting the perch and disipline yourself to go reel big last hour and into the dark, most times nothing these days probably, but those blitzs were awesome in the mid 2000's.....

So in anyones opinion, would it be worthwile to drive up (over an hr) and check the south pond for thickness?  With the intention of getting on it?

[BudMan]

High of 40, 20mph wind and chance of rain for tomorrow. I'll honk as I drive by and continue north.

[perch picker50]

how thick is the ice at the wigwam thinking of heding up there

[Ranger_bound]

Roll the dice bud. With the warm weather and threat of rain the ice might be in trouble.

[perch picker50]

needs to get cold at least 30 to keep good ice  i think i can Waite a week to get thicker

[obrien380]

Just gunna have to wait this out if this weather keeps up I'm going to have to put my 14ft seanymph in the water and do some walleye and crappie fish in on the south pond I'm having fishing withdrawls....
