WOZ -Crazy place to fish!!  We drove two hours for the chance of a bowfin.   We had a ball.   We have never caught channel catfish never mind catching them thru the ice.   We thought the first cat was cool (4lbs).  The 10 lber that came after was one of the coolest catches I've seen ice fishing.  Ditto with the Bowfin

I saw that tough break off you guys had.  We had a couple of missed runners. 

Skippy

Awesome trip to the oxbow. Never know what you can pull from there. What were you using for bait? A 9lb bowfin would have been a state record FYI

2 days ago was 6 inches. I suspect there will be enough ice for you to fish still - the edges were sketchy and will likely be tomorrow as well. Someone had left a plank there. Thank you to whoever that may have been...

Just left the oxbow around 430 today. All the edges were still locked in. Had about 6 inches of black ice. When I got there, there was a lot of water on top but by the time I left wind pretty much evaporated all the water off the top

6 " of ice today.  Easy on /off.    Most people in the pond area .   Just a couple guys under Powerlines  to 91.
We enjoyed catching bowfin to 9lbs,  pike to 7 lbs, Cats to over 10lbs, medium pickerels , bass and perch     The Bowfin was a quest for my son .

Wow! Congrats on a great day.
