There was 2.5" ice all across the south end this noon. I drilled 10+ holes. It opened up in deeper part in the afternoon.
going out on Thursday ice picks and spud in hand.will be checking a few areas out and post my findings.these will only be my observations on certain areas. just remember never take anyone s word on ice thickness at first ice. and especially when there's snow cover. what's 4-5 " in one area may be 1-2" in another.
just got back from the lake checked out a few areas that i fish first ice and found 5-6" pretty well in all areas.was able to get out to 22-24 fow. did not go to the north end... don't fish there.or Evans road should be the same ?.anyway going to have some lunch then load up for an afternoon evening fish..... IT,S ON................
oh yeah, I'm sure most of you know but for those who don't stay away from that white ice if possible. especially if there is snow on top of it. the stuff i ran into today was slushy on top and quite possibly very week this early on.
