indian ice

read on another site today, earlier indian had 4" but after warm and rain ice is unsafe, next ten days are supposed to be cold so new years is a possibility, ratherbe, keep us posted

well if I would get my butt in gear I would be keeping the indian page updated

lakes and ponds freezin over down here, hope we get the cold so we can all finally get together

I've been posting on "Let's Talk FIshing" at the indianlake.com site..... keep an eye on it... I may take my daughter for a drive today and break out the auger.

Sounds good Ryan!!

Let us know!!

I drilled a 3" hole at Lucy's about 15 feet out..... went about another 10 feet and drilled one about 3.75". We have some snow coming so we'll see if it messes up the ice we have at all.... we should be in good shape though!

That is pretty good

I have a report from yesterday, only 2.75!!!!

what do we need 4" ?

4in is the least I personally like to fish on

if you're a bigger guy like me... better stick with around 5-6" plus!!! I was out at CJ today and the outer edges of the lake around the rip rap dam and the beach are skimmed with ice... and the marina was skimmed... but no where near being close to fish on.... I'd say it will be mid january before CJ is safe... and that depends on the weather... I know we are getting snow tonight, or rather forecasted to , but sometime snow isn't a good thing... DANGEROUS!

Yea you guys are dead on 5 to 6in of good ice is the the least I would be on . It will come even though I can't wait , I will . I wish it would get here .

There is a mix up on my post from yesterday.. the holes drilled were on the north side of the lake, after driving by moundwood, Long Is, and Old Field. I apologize for any mix up. I was on the phone (at the lake) and my wife made the post for me. I need to get back up there this morning if I can, but my partner is hunting...

By the way, we went out Monday and I didn't even see a tail... he was 100yds away and had a bunch of does come right underneath his stand. They spooked when he tried to flip his safety.

Gotta be quiet about that saftey, lesson learned lol
Didn't knwo you hunted too Ryan, good luck out there

Thanks to the better half too

just starting to get into it... tried a couple of times in high school and it was alright, but I'd have rather fished. I like bow hunting though and I have two uncles that are about as close to experts as I'll ever find.

ratherbe any ice updates after the snow, read a couple of posts on another site about them catchin some small gills today.

Just came from Indian Lake MOUNDWOOD HAS 4". Some gummy stuff on top but 3" or so of lake ice underneath.
Now let's hope the weather doesn't mess it up again.

with highs the next few days in the mid to upper 30's and rain... dont plan on it being like that come the weekend

we can only hope for new years

The temperature will not hurt the ice one bit, it will get back down in the 20s at night. It takes longer to melt ice than to make it. And if anything, the rain will melt the snow/slush on top. You guys should be fine.

Yeah, we'll just have to keep an eye on rainfall... standing water is heavy, and I don't like it being on top of the ice with me

I hope I can make new years

If moundwood has four I'm thinkin somewhere there will be fish!!

don't try to back out now jonny. come on cold

Jonny you can relax , I wasn't really going to make you pay for gas so you can still go .

skweeek, come on jonny

I might have basketball that day which is complete BS

I'm just thinking this because there isn't any fishable ice now after this wind and rain, not even long island and the first isn't far away...
