Checking the ice...

[FrozenBuckeye]

I'm gonna go to Delaware this weekend to check the ice and if its thick enough I'm gonna punch some holes and make a weekend out of it... Anybody interested in joining me???

I may be.  I'm not sure of my schedule quite yet but don't know of anything going on either.  I'll shoot you a PM with my number if you want to chat.

I personally would really appreciate you posting what you find out about ice thickness. Would be nice to out there.......

It wouldn't be a problem at all, checking the thickness will be an ongoing thing

MD told me yesterday the ice is about 5-6" with slightly muddy water but I'm going out this afternoon to see if its thickened or thinned since then. I will post an update asap!

Checked the ice on the lake, roughly 5-7" with a few thin spits over the channel. Saw and spoke to a guy who was on his way off the ice and he said the bite was slow and I didn't stick around after punching some holes here in there to get a measure. I'm going out next weekend to fish but I'll keep checking different areas of the lake to keep an eye on ice growth
