Title: Ice progress??
Post by: slabslayer on December 12, 2016, 01:38:27 PM
Being on baby watch has cut down on my ice scouting time. Anyone been by OSP yet?  Just curious if any chance of being on by end of the week??

was just talking about osp with my fishin buds, about how that area usually freezes first. im  bouncing in my seat as much as everyone too get on the ice, but this week end would be iffy at best... but dont despair   HERE IT COMES.....

Trying to be patient, but also trying to get 1 trip in pre-baby. We'll see how that goes. Truck is packed for pre-ice but who knows if I'll get on.

If no baby by Friday and work continues to be this slow, I'm planning on heading up to OSP for an ice check in the morning.  Hopefully fishing is a possibility.  If not I might check C-5 at Nimi. That's usually good at first ice. Although the gill size has definitely fallen off there the last couple years.

well ole bud  hope you can get out early ..hopefully the gill population will get better . but I see a perch explosion lately.  I know that place has a crazy cat fish population,   one of these days I may get to pass this whiskered wally curse on too another..

Hit OSP today for a few hours. Nothing but dinks for me. Ice was 3-4 inches though did hit one area that was more like 2. Some fool recently ran a boat there left a trail through the ice.
