How was the thickness?  Friday would be my first chance with work.  Think it?ll hold through then?  Should build more tonight, then a warmup with rain.   >:(

It?s been fairly cold so I set out to Mogadore to check a few spots. First stop was palm road most spots 2? good black ice. Didn?t fish it just spudded around. Then I headed to clr two guys were coming off the ice they informed me of the ice conditions and wished me luck. I spudded my way out to 8fow water was gin clear ice was 2-2.5 with some thinner areas.  Saw some dink gills and shad but couldn?t catch anything. It was also windy and I wish I?d have brought my shack! Packed up and headed to lansinger ice was 2-3? good hard black stuff! spudded out to 12 fow moved around some but couldn?t find any steady action.  It wasn?t nearly as windy as clr the sunshine felt good the vexliar was humming and the Iake was moaning! Caught one little perch and a few small gills! Felt great to be back on the ice even tho I know it?s gone by Saturday it was nice to get a taste of that sweet sweet December ice!

Agreed!!  

And I remember a time I did that too.  Fishing on thin, black ice I had to move every 20 minutes because it sagged so much it was flooding my fishing area.  I don?t think I?d do that again with things as they are with my family.  However, I?d have been at Mogadore today if I wasn?t so slammed at work!  Fingers crossed for Friday!

Luckily this ice didn?t have a bit of sag to it today at all.
