I hope it freezes I've never had a chance to fish it but would love to give it a shot

I’ve been seeing that as well.   It’s looking promising for after the new year that we will be on some ice!

we average getting on  the ice around here about 11th of jan,  and i admit i have braved early ice with only 2 inchs,  tip toed out with a butt pucker of 10,  but i dont try it anymore,  just dont like getting wet    hahahah

Same here Rik.   I used to make it my goal to be the first person to drill a hole in NE Ohio.  I’m not in that much of a hurry anymore.  Most of my good big fish spots need a little longer to freeze and the danger isn’t worth a 4” bluegill, the loss of my gear, or even worse.
