Wow! Be cautious?

    Checked one of my local trout ponds and found a little over an inch of ice along the shore!   Two easy hits with dull  chisel found water.
BUT!     For two hundred yards out someone had drilled holes to fish!!   Hope they caught trout, but I will worry about them this weekend    Please, everyone, be careful!    Three inches should be a minimum.   I need at least 4 inches of clear ice and I don't expect that until mid week.

I'm fat, 3" is not an option! 4 minimum lol, but 3 and 1/2" might have to do pretty soon haha... getting ice fishing withdrawls, I need a fix

I've fished on 2 inches of black ice but only in waist deep water. I wont trust this frozen slush until it's at least 4".

I checked out Partridge Lake in Littleton this am, I walked out about four feet and  a huge crack started between my feet.  I'm thinking next weekend will be the start of ice fishing up here for me !

  Thanks, You saved me a trip to Patridge Lake.   If that shallow cove hasn't formed good ice yet it probably won't be walkable until Wed.

freezing temps for a couple of days and then temps in the 40's isn't helping around here.

    Sorry!  Your going to have to travel north.  I'll probably have to use my power auger by next weekend!
