A little late....
NW Ohio farm pond.. 2" of ice. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!! While everyone else was waiting for ice 2 of us hit my honeyhole. We both had on Striker Ice flotation suits, ice picks, throw ropes, spud bars and we went light on gear. NO ICE IS SAFE ICE!!! Check your own ice, have all your safety gear and go with a buddy.
39 Gills in 4 hours(all between 8-1/2" and 10"). 2' off the bottom in 14' of water. Eurotackle Drop-X 5mm tungsten jig and Eurotackle Micro Finesse plastic Stonefly(looks like a wiggler) in brown.
Next day the ice was gone!!!
