sooner Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I figured as much but just thought I would try for safety sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaterWolf Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 hmm I should really make it out somewhere this Sunday. By Sunday ice should be even stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyv Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Agreed! Couple more days n it should be fine if we keep up with this awesome weather. I didn't check the back Bays though... There's probably more there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I fished the back end today ....very slow bite & the ice is about 4" WHERE THE GUYS ARE FISHING ! Don't go out to the middle . I spud checked it today & it quickly dropped to 1" because the center of the pond is affected by the current from Richardsons Creek . Don't try to come in from Henley Island , very thin ice all along the island ,also because of the 12 Mile currents . As I was leaving I saw 2 guys walking toward the island ....hope they turned back in time ....... Note ....I found a hand ice auger cover at the top of the hill and also an ice hut screw peg.... if anyone is looking for them pm me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason15 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 A buddy of mine was out there a Thursday said it was 4" where he was the second hole he started was 1" so he didn't bother with it. But there is some safe ice out there just got to make sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry b Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Follow Smerch's advice and have fun. It won't be safe everywhere like he said but non current areas will be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I fished Rennie P. today with Bassmaster12 & caught a few small perch & lost the best one at the top of the hole . There was about 10 others out there and one hut which was gettng into the risky area near the current . They would have moved in if the ice was not safe I'm sure . It was nice to see other members from NFN out there today . Madam joined us later in the afternoon and soon after he launched a minnow down the hatch he hooked a nice 24" fatty pike . It gave him a nice scrap and added some great excitement to our day . WTG madam ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
