Fished huntington today fom the ice.. got there about 10:00 this morning and headed for the ice..
got to the edge and walked out about 10 feet again and busted a hole only 2" thick. ok did a brass check at about 40 feet out as the ice cracked in every direction from my feet.. got the brass back in place and started out again.. got out and punched 2 holes.. call to my boy to come on out it was safe.. lol yeah at 2 1/2" it was sweet..
got him out and he brought the gear out in the jet..
let him pick the pole first and he got the one with the pattle bug on it.. then he started kicking my but all over the lake.. lol he had cought 4 fish before i got one to stick and stay.. lol

You ice fishing fool . Do you think a 220# nut could walk on that ice . I could go tomorrow but would be alone most likely . I guess I could get a life jacket on so they could find me .

Sweet! Maybe safe in one weekend. If not, then I'm sure by the next week.

Yea, Ron! Some set of cajones, man! Looked like a little less than half way out on the road side near the turn off, right? Small white tube jigs? With brassies like that, consider it that you have an open invite from me for Fish Lake in early Feb.
I know that I would leave a nice, brown trail from hole to hole if it was me!

Ok, Ok. I'm ready to take you up on that offer you made to learn me somethings about ice fishing now. Me and the hounds want some of that action - you bring your boy and I'll bring my boys. That pond looks like I could even bring my old hocky skates and zip around a bit(are you using boots with cleats or something - how are you getting traction on that glass ?). Anyway, I got all my winter ski gear out and I'm ready to go. I even got a bunch of minnows and a bucket with my paltry selection of ice fishing gear ready to go.
But, I gotta say this - Dude, that ice does look a little skinny for you or my hounds still(I could be wrong, but, I think one of them might outweigh you by a little). Nevertheless, in a day or two the ice will probably be thick enough for all of us to hang out on - if the hounds can get their footing and can stand up on it - that is. If not, they can "chill" in the vehicle while your fishing and I'm trying to figure out what you're doing.

Tuesday sounds pretty good to me.
One thing I have to warn you about - my hounds are probably smarter than both of us. It might only take one or two splats on the ice before they figure out it's not what they want to spend the day doing - but you never know what they might think is fun. However, you're right - it will be entertaining to watch them attempt to walk on it - who knows, they may just be able to negotiate the glass - they have 2 inch claws on thier paws that does provide a fair amount of traction.
If it looks do-able - send me a PM and let's work out the finer details and hook up !
