well with this ice melt we might have to get lucky if we want good ice and not like 3-4" of ice but i think will be safe

Minnow Mike and myself were out on the pond today for a few hours, the ice was a good 8" - 10" thick and almost clear and very slippery once it got wet from the rain. There was a lot of cracking sounds in the morning and we saw a few cracks as they happened but by 11am the Ice settled down.

I think the Ice will be fine for the derby.

I just checked the weather too. Jacques as long as the weather is low or in the negatives we should be fine, we might loose an inch or two but already we have a couple inches of snow on the ice, the snow will be the first to melt. We will just have wait to see what happens.

hey jacques if im going with you, you might as well pick me up since none of my friends want to get up at 6am and leave at 7am for a derby i got a 8" i want to try out too so ill chill with you during the derby. Im going to try and convince my friend to lend me his jigging tip-up as a second line for pike.
