Anyone know how the ice is the Sioux city area? Didn't know if the completely ruined it? Colder weather coming. Next weekend things should be good to go again. Night lows in the teens and low 20s. Day highs in low 30s

open water at snyder's as of Sunday. There's snow there but not at brown's lake lol that's how fast the snow cutoff was. There was a couple of shacks out on brown's Saturday, and i didn't see any standing water on the ice.

So the ice must be halfway safe at browns? Have you heard how the bite has been? Never have fished hardwater there but might have to give it a shot this weekend

I was thinking about trying tomorrow (wed) at Bacon or Browns. hopeefully the ice has "recovered" from last week's warm weather and rain

If you do end up going out tomorrow, please report back on ice conditions. Appreciate the updates!

Nice painting by the way man.

Oil? Watercolor? Acrylic?

LunkerPlunker · « **Reply #11 on:** Feb 08, 2012, 05:17 PM »

acrylic

was out at Bacon Creek yesterday. Ice was 5.5-6.5 inches thick. Bite was consistent. Not super fast, but caught fish all day long. Caught 30 fish: 6 trout, 1 crappie, 4 bass, 2 perch, and 17 bluegills.

cleaned 5 trout, 4 gills and a crappie.

Ice was extremely noisy from 9-12, then was silent after that. Spooky cracking noises freak me out.......even though I know that doesn't indicate I'm going to fall in.

Shane123 · « **Reply #13 on:** Feb 09, 2012, 09:32 AM »

thanks for the report

tjslim3271 · « **Reply #14 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 03:40 PM »

Anyone plan on going out on Browns this weekend?

tjslim3271 · « **Reply #15 on:** Feb 13, 2012, 10:36 AM »

So does anybody know where they were "supposedly" catching walleye at Browns?

The DNR said straight off the boat ramp. We went out on saturday and fished the deepest spot of 9ft and out from the reeds straight across from the ramp in about 6 ft. We didnt catch a thing. Should we of been more into the reeds in about 4ft? Any help would be greatfully appreciated
Thanks

tysontia · « **Reply #16 on:** Feb 14, 2012, 07:47 AM »

I've heard out from the swimming are, not the ramp. But that's just talking. I've never fished wally in Browns

how thick was the ice.

Shane123 · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 14, 2012, 11:31 AM »

7-8 feet of water, straight out from either point really. they come in thru that area. if you wanna walk alot, you can go down to the bend and fish the area closer to the houses on the bend. they hang there in spring and fall.

tjslim3271 · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 14, 2012, 12:32 PM »

Ever any size to any of them?

tysontia · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 14, 2012, 02:15 PM »

someone told me they have caught them in the 17-21" range........decent, not monsters but decent.

tjslim3271 · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 17, 2012, 07:20 PM »

Hows the bite on Bacon?? Never targeted trout and wouldnt mind trying. What has ever one been having luck on there? time of the day? area of pond?any info would be greatly appreciated.

Shane123 · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 17, 2012, 07:33 PM »

dave isom was on bacon 2 days ago, had alot of soft spots that the spud bar went thru. its bad bad ice 2 days ago, and the weather hasn't gotten really cold, so i would stay clear away.

tysontia · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 18, 2012, 09:25 PM »

6-7 today. seeemed pretty safe. cleaned 4 crappie, 3 trout, and 8 gills.........1 9"er.

pretty good this afternoon/evening.

Shane123 · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 18, 2012, 10:10 PM »

musta built some ice or you fished somewhere else in bacon. the best fishing in bacon is always back in the creek area by the cat tails.

Heading to boji from S.C. In the morning if anyone is interested.....

LunkerPlunker · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 19, 2012, 12:09 AM »

caught 5 keeper bluegills and 1 keeper crappie at browns today. ice was roughly 4 - 5 inches. a bit slow today, but a great day to be out. Might be the last time i get out till next winter :/

tysontia · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 19, 2012, 10:14 AM »

I always start in the creek across from the cattails.......caught nothing and moved a lot......not marking much.

Moved out from the rocks. 16 FOW and catching them in 10.
