Fished today on 2.5-3 inches busted through about 60 feet of 1" ice in 4-6 inches of water to get onto the solid ice. Caught an 18" walleye jigging with a slender spoon. Few fish on tip-ups as well felt really good to be walking on (hard)water though and the fish were really just a bonus. More pre-cip coming tomorrow night and warm weather this week I can see ice conditions degrading. If you decide to go on the hunt for ice please be careful. Make sure you go with a friend first ice is no place for loners. Spud hard, make sure you know the lake, plan for the worst bring throw rope, pfd, change of clothes leave cellphone / things you don't want to get wet on land. Even taking precautions it is still very dangerous please be safe.
Was just south-southeast of minocqua on a pretty small lake I'd rather not name.
There is ice you just have to find it, I am lucky to be 1-2 hours from it. I really feel bad for the guys down south though.
Thanks for all the responses on this and sorry for hijacking the thread.upnort we have a family cabin on Solberg in Phillips. We usually do pretty well on gills/crappies in a big shallow stump bay at first ice. Looking more and more like it's not going to happen though.I really want to catch some fish through the ice...but I don't want anybody to have to come fishing for me through the ice.This weather is killing me!
I'm just north of Phillips in Park Falls. There's a little ice around. Enough to get on the edge of the lake, but the next few days are supposed to be in the 40's so probably won't last long. 😢
Looking like highs in the 40s for the next week. Only good thing about it is it should melt all the crappy ice of the lakes then we can only hope for a cold snap to but some good solid clear ice on the lakes.
