I'd like to give a big Thank You to all the guys we meet yesterday. We had a great time. Having never ice fished there before you were great at letting us join in the group.Thank you Bruce for the use of your crappie checker there's one in my shanty now ! John.
Drove over after work. Couple of guys on the ice behind the brick house on 119. there were 5 or 6 at west end Minster branch. They said Ice was 3 in. Be safe !!
Drove around Indian yesterday, 2 guys fishing first pull off at Long Pond. They said 2 to 3 in. of ice. Checked Blackhawk 2 sets of tracks heading to Lucy's 3rd set of tracks made it out about 10 ft. from dock with a 3 foot hole in the ice. Not safe enough for this chubby guy!
I bought the Under Armor long underwear 2 years ago. It's not cheep but it is the warmest and lightest that I have ever used. I just put on a pair of sweatpants and sweatshirt and my arctic armor suit and I'm ready to go. Now getting into my Under Armor is another story,man that stuff is tight!
I just hop them about 6 " off the bottom. I let them down to the bottom and just give real short jerks up and let them flutter back to the bottom. Works for me. John.
