29 Dec we had almost 4 inches of ice on Mogadore. If you look you can see the water line on the tape.

Had to be pure magic that made it. But in reality it was a bunch of pack ice that ended up pushed in the bay must have thawed some and with those 16 degree nights tightened up and got nearly 4” thick and sold as a rock except the edges were awful.   I fished it  Monday and Tuesday it actually made a half inch of ice from Monday to Tuesday. 

There are other lakes in neo with ice in very limited areas that is going to be fished today. I know I’ll be out somewhere.

Actually I was just told by someone who’s on the ice right now where E58 took that picture.  It gained 3/4 last night which is kinda interesting.

sooooo   do we have a winner ?     winner winner chicken dinner   hahahhaha

[slabslayer]

That is interesting, but it did drop to 22 there last night.   Tonight is going to be the killer I’m afraid.   I’m so sick of these warm fronts.  On Tuesday the 5th I should be released to do whatever I want, so it’ll be all open water everywhere by then.

30 was closest with 12/30.   I’ll send his Gruv box out on Monday!

We did have one guy get a wet foot getting off the ice. You know how shallow weedy areas are, that and the fact he weighs in at 270.

Hey! I won... I was really just being a smartass, but I guess it counts. Lol. If you need my address Joel, just look on the other package you haven't sent me yet...

[slabslayer]

Haha!  It’s actually going in the mail this morning.   
They both will be.   You guys were on 4” so it counts, as does the online tournament post!  Glad you got on, looks like by next week it’ll be improving all over.
