NO ICE THIS YEAR

Same here. I didn’t get out either. Killed me. The window we had I was sick with flu. Then we lost the base and I won’t go out on 2” anymore. I have all the safety gear, but all the early spots by me only have dink gills at 2” of ice. We need a good 3-4” for me to get to my good spots. I’m not into risking my life or gear for a 3” fish anymore. Getting too old for that. I am super disappointed though. This is the first year I’ve missed in a long long time.

Yah I never got out once in Ohio. I'm in about the same boat as you Joel. Need some decent ice to get to my good spots and at 250 lbs I am not going out on 2 1/2 inches. If my butt hole is puckered up the whole time it really isn't that much fun. Lol. Did make a couple Michigan trips but really love fishing Indian and it's disappointing not getting on there. Did get the boat out yesterday! Got 27 keeper crappie using ice gear.

Agreed. Unfortunately boat season is here with zero ice trips! So disappointing!

Got an eighth trip in, but put all gear away today. Season is done I think.

I guess that I was lucky to get out 3 days in December on my pond. I thought it was just the beginning of a great season! Maybe next year................
