Nice work Yote, I was out on Twin today and we had a quad and trailer out there. Saw a bunch of fish but nothing big and caught a few walleye.

Yote,
I was kinda thinking the same thing in regards to Marindahl. Once it freezes over it can be a fun lake to fish. We had decent luck last year. Ill probably be checking out Burbank Lake next week, Ill keep you informed on how we do.

Yote · « **Reply #33 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 08:34 AM »

Thinking about marindahl, twin, or wall this weekend. anyone interested?

I fished Burbank today for a few hours. 7 inches of ice and 6 ft of water. Caught about a dozen keeper bluegill. Going to fish Island in the morning

I was there yesterday morning and not a bite , I am going to have to learn that lake LOL

Yote · « **Reply #40 on:** Jan 23, 2012, 10:55 AM »

The bite seemed off yesterday. We fished Island yesterday for about 3 hours. Never found the fish. We went and tried twin for a couple hours after and couldn't buy a bite there either. Lots of good ice on twin though. Even saw a truck out there. Anyone do any good anywhere yesterday?

Yote I might have to look you up sometime. I will be moving to the area soon and am excited to find all of the local fishing spots.

Just wondering if anyone has been out to Lake Yankton to check on the ice?

Yote · « **Reply #44 on:** Jan 30, 2012, 03:11 PM »

gotb8t

i was out there the other day and there was no one on the ice. I stopped in at Captain Norms and they said it's not safe. I am going to go ahead and say we might not fish Lake Yankton through the ice this year especially since its almost 60 degrees out right now.

Yote · « **Reply #45 on:** Dec 10, 2012, 08:14 PM »

Some hard water..... for now. Went out and checked Burbank and Marindahl today. Burbank had 3 inches of strong ice and Marindahl had 1". Both were completely locked up. Any reports from farther north? Island, Twin, 81-ponds?

Going to check mc cook on my way into work in sioux city will post tomorrow morning what is see. Hoping to be on ice on Sunday.

Newbie here, gonna try to get into ice fishing this season for the first time, so I'm glad to see a thread regarding the southeast... I'm not sure which water has the fish but I checked out lake Alvin(close to me) yesterday afternoon and it was frozen, but I didn't have a chance to check the depth of the ice. I'm hoping to go out and check some other spots tomorrow while making an attempt at a final duck hunt for the season...if anyone knows of decent places to check let me know and I will post what I find...and if there's any advice for someone who is trying to get into the sport I'm all ears

It can be expensive to get into and its addictive. The main purchase is your equipment and which one to purchase first. I bought a gas auger first then the wife got me a vexilar for Christmas and then I finally got a shack. Fist was a pop up hub. Nice shack the only problem I had was heating it. I have a big buddy heater that used a one pound tank. The tank would freeze up after a couple of hours. Switching tanks was getting to be a pain. So I got the hose and hooked it up to a 20 pound tank never had a problem since.

I was lucky and had a friend who ice fished and he taught me a lot.

Was going to mention this yesterday but I forgot until I read this. Marindahl is down almost 10 feet it seems like. Anyone know where the fish might concentrate out there?

Vex-Um · « **Reply #51 on:** Dec 11, 2012, 09:51 AM »

In front of tr dam is always a good place to start. Glad to hear things are freezing up. You didn't wet a line did you Yote? The fact that McCook is so low is a little disheartening just because it wasnt very deep to begin with.

Vex-Um · « **Reply #52 on:** Dec 11, 2012, 09:53 AM »

http://forum.dakotaangler.com/index.php?topic=13205.msg121886;topicseen#msg121886. Looks to me like 81 ponds may be fishable if try are fishing on brush. I'd take the risk and drive up there. If not there are other sloughs around that would surely be frozen.

NB7314 · « **Reply #53 on:** Dec 12, 2012, 05:50 PM »

Anyone got an ice report for Alvin?

majormaj · « **Reply #54 on:** Dec 12, 2012, 06:26 PM »

It was open on saturday and froze over on sunday the 9th. And it hasnt been super cold here. Havent actually checked the thickness.

B010699 · « **Reply #55 on:** Dec 12, 2012, 07:36 PM »

I went to Alvin yesterday, was able to kick through the ice a few yards from shore and it was 2.5 maybe 3 inches....still pretty unstable...warm weather couldn't have helped today

B010699 · « **Reply #56 on:** Dec 13, 2012, 06:24 PM »

Anyone been to loss lake south of humboldt, or know how thick the ice is? I've been told that there are fish to be caught there?

NB7314 · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 13, 2012, 06:52 PM »

alvin had about 2 inches of ice.

Yote · « **Reply #58 on:** Dec 24, 2012, 01:16 AM »

Anyone checked out Lake Yankton? Would like to wet a line out there soon.

rags · « **Reply #59 on:** Dec 24, 2012, 08:16 AM »
