Illinois > Ice Fishing Illinois

Ice... close, yet so far.

<< < (4/4)

zcm_82:
Hit a pond for about an hour this morning until that freezing rain rolled in hard. Edges were a bit thin, but the center was still 3-3.5" and solid. Landed a few small gills and lost a decent bass at the bottom of the hole. Conditions got nasty fast, though. Had standing water on the ice by the time I got off there around 745am.

IlliniIce:
gonna check out a small pond tomorrow, hoping for the "required" 4 inches  ;D

zcm_82:
Half an inch of slush on top. Edges are pretty soft, but had 4" solid clear ice one I got 10-15 feet from the bank.

Went and checked a small lake in Marshall County on Sunday.  Ice was sketchy but we punched a few holes, nothing but two dink bass.

Lots of slush and weight on the ice, hope it firms up this week.

I fished yesterday afternoon and had some slush and water on top. I had a quick look at the same pond on my way to work this morning, and it was all frozen up. We bottomed out around 23-24° overnight. The forecast looks decent... should slowly thicken up as long as there's no big high-temp blowups.
