Apologies to all of you fruitloops that always rush out this time of year and try to be the first to hit the hard-deck.
Ice-fishing season is upon us. It's here...

Was it thick enough to stand on and fish or just thick enough to keep you on the shore?

3" is thick enough, if you are careful...
didn't have an auger -- but a rock worked. Too bad the fishing sucked...

I, too, found ice today. This evening I'll flood it with brandy and coke. It came from my freezer. Let's not get in to big of a hurry. Some of us still like to fish the lakes of fall from a boat and I for one am not ready for icy roads and the miserable cold.

A little bit of ice never stopped anyone from fishing -- did it?
The fishing sucked. I don't believe any pictures were taken of the good looking guys in the group! Pics are (for the most part) reserved for fish!

Tomorrow I plan on trying my luck through the ice for the first time this fall. I will have my hand auger in tow, and I figure there is a good chance that it is about 3" thick, and if it is I will venture forth again.

Of course I expect you to tell. Just send me a pm. My bet is the lake is closed now.

Either way it's your secret. I can wait for some good lakes to freeze but it would be nice to get the gear wet.
To bad the fishing was slow.

I've been on 3" inches of ice before once...and only once. There had to be some thinner spots by how the ice was talkin'. When I got home I had to sew a patch on my overalls 'cause I was so puckered up!!![shocked]

PBH,
Go get em. Looking at the weather reports the last 10 days everything above 11K is probably safe. Wish I didn't have all these Ling Cod bothering me or I'd join you.

3" is plenty of ice. 2" is scary but maybe thats why I've been swimming twice. It really isn't that bad going under.
