12"? I only seen 4 inches at best

Please be conservative with the ice reports, their are enough idiots out there all ready and more stting at home that believe everything they read. I didn't see anything near a foot thick ice. Was nearer 4 / 5 inch of real ICE, with the same amount of crystalized snow/slush on top. I did see thinner ice, Someone marked the spot with thier 4 wheeler, look for the 2 front tires sticking up thur ice off the Elms.

How was the ice today? did this warm weather do much damage? Plan on heading out of wigwam tomorrow....looking forward to some fishing if ice is good. Thanks!

Ice wasnt to bad- a little sloppy coming off, will only get worse with the temps and rain but plenty of ice- parked at the elms, drag back up was rough without any snow or ice, but had our limit by 1130 it was all good- mostly 9" and up, with more than a dozen between 11-12" - hope to be back out again, freezer is loving fresh perch filets

iceplank · « **Reply #126 on:** Dec 31, 2010, 09:58 PM »

Enjoyed my time there on Thursday.I am sure 4 hour limits of really good perch is not something I should ever expect again but I will be back.lots of $ making the trip for one day but worth it. so my question, is it pretty solid throughout the winter or is this an early ice thing that dies real hard later on like a lot of smaller bodies of water?those perch gotta migrate in from lake all winter long?or should I get my ass back up there asap?

Happy new year all. The ice was 4 plus inches off the wigwam snow mobiles all over it was a bit slushy but hoping we drilled enough holes today to drain all that water on top. I got my limit by 1/4 to 1 did good heaviest limit yet this season. I had to move about 200 yards away from my cell phone spot. I didn't get into them untill 10:30.

Never been to the pond... Looking for a place to park and ideas on where to start?!?!!?!?! any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Careful out there boys, some pretty bouncy spots out there this morning. Think light.

lovetofish · « **Reply #131 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 12:36 PM »

Hey Skidplate. How was the fishing? We went to moon lake foe pike instead of the pond. I looking to get back this weekend.

Cusefan78 · « **Reply #132 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 01:12 PM »

Brew and I went out and limited in three hours with a ton of slobs. Be very careful out there ice in spots is only a few inches with three and four being the average. If I was by myself I would have turned back.

Cusefan78 · « **Reply #133 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 07:56 PM »

Boggey I was walking about thirty feet from him at all times. I was afraid he was going to use me as a floatation device.

brewsta3224 · « **Reply #134 on:** Jan 02, 2011, 11:59 PM »

Floataion device? No...try anchor. There could always benefit from structure in such a flat bottom pond. @ Boggey... no offense taken. I wouldnt walk next to me on 3" of ice either. This is not ice to be just bombing around on without paying attention and really watching where your walking or stepping into. I've been walking hardwater for over 30 years, today the ice spooked me. Be smart, be safe, don't fish alone... i'm gonna give it a couple days to stiffen back up...

Cusefan78 · « **Reply #135 on:** Jan 03, 2011, 08:26 AM »

Just to rub it in brew had such a slow day that I decided to let him catch up by taking two hours off. At one point I decided that I should change my name to the cuseslayer. In all seriousness be careful on the ice. Brew weakened it yesterday when he carried all my slobs in.

brewsta3224 · « **Reply #136 on:** Jan 03, 2011, 09:34 AM »

Yeah, he was getting cocky and the Ice God slowed him down a bit...He didnt take a break as much as he went on a Dinkfest, and I may not have did as well as Cuse, but I kept 39 perch in 3.5 hrs fishing with 17 being over 10" and 3 of those over 12"...nothing under 9". The ice was spooky with no snow on it you could see where it had originally froze, broke up and refroze(prior to being good ice at all. I think I like a little snow on it)... realistically best ice I saw didn't exceed 3.5" and there were many open holes.

Cusefan78 · « **Reply #137 on:** Jan 03, 2011, 09:45 AM »

I'm pretty sure I heard you say "holy crap cuse is a golden god and no slobs are safe". On the lighter side brew just saved 10% on his car insurance.

Cusefan78 · « **Reply #138 on:** Jan 03, 2011, 08:09 PM »

Wait I'm pretty sure that I am king of the pond. Brew and I are in and so is my buddy matt. I think we need add one more title. The dink of the pond. We need to be fair so boggey, ht, and brew can fight over a title. Can't wait for Saturday so I can finally make my slayer title official. Eye of the tiger boys!

Haha "king of the pond" I'm in along with a few others. Who's feeling lucky?

600RevX · « **Reply #142 on:** Jan 06, 2011, 07:51 PM »

Anyone heading out tomorrow? going to hit the elms and the honey hole again, just wondering if anyone has any updated ice and snow conditions- would like to bring the little ski-doo, we'll see what happens- either way I'll be out there, blue fish trap and if ice permits yellow ski-doo- feel free to stop and chat if anyones around..

Yankee Troller · « **Reply #143 on:** Jan 07, 2011, 07:17 AM »

Anyone have ice conditions for the pond? Wondering if I can bring my ATV out there in the morning.

big rod · « **Reply #144 on:** Jan 07, 2011, 12:41 PM »

Anyone fish today? Just wondering if it is safe to run the wheeler on it this weekend?

A-TOM-MIK · « **Reply #145 on:** Jan 07, 2011, 01:33 PM »

RICK FULL THROTTLE BABY, JUST STAY AWAY FROM THEM 2 QUAD WHEELS STICKING OUT OF THE ICE

600RevX · « **Reply #146 on:** Jan 07, 2011, 05:33 PM »

Fished from 930-1, nice limit of 9" and up perch- water seemed a bit cloudy today, but the bite was on! switched from a minnow head to perch eye on a small glo frosty and bingo...

Couldnt fit anymore on the board....

Overall ice was in good shape, had 5-6" of good black where I was, snow was starting to build a little, probably 4-6" in some spots with some drifting-
A special thanks to KissaFish- Helped me out big time when not only could I not get traction with the sled but when I did I would drop to one cylinder- It was slooooooow and painful process to try and get moving, he zipped over seeing me struggling and offered to tow my shanty back in for me while I limped my sled in-

Just goes to show the high class of folks that are out there fishing around us! THANKS AGAIN!!!!

YES there are a few good guys left

600Revx has it right the water was a bit cloudy today, with about 4-6" of ice out of Eddy's Cove jumped up and down a little and the ice is still flexing pretty good, Similiar size and quantity fiah as Revx and followed the same baiting strategy. All and all a good day.....
