Sprained wrist so I can't operate the auger. Will have to wait. That's what you use your friend for, slipperybob.  |

Water & Air temp have been in the low 30's upper 20's is that cold enough for a 2 acre pond to ice over? |

You should probably wait a few more weeks before going out on the ice, vweeks. |

Good to go here in Northern Ontario with an average ice depth between 6"-10" thus far. |

Enjoy taking fish thru the ice, but won`t go out on less than 5" of clear "virgin" ice, no remelts. Several yrs ago saw a guy take a ladder and lay it on 3" of ice out from a dock, chip a hole in the ice and yes, he did catch fish; just wasn`t the safest thing ever saw anyone do...he must have had the fever BAD. NOT SAFE at ALL! Want to see you ON the ice, not UNDER it! |

BrBubba it's nice to see you again. Either I keep missing your posts on here....or you just re-emerge when it's time to go icing  . We should be heading out tomorrow for our first trip of the year on the ice. There's already been two people go through in Northern Ontario and they didn't come back up. It happens every year - it's really sad that people gotta push it. |

depends on how long has it been below the freezing mark. just remember that it takes allot longer for safe ice to form at those tempts. another thing to remember with this type of ice is, just because you might be able to walk on top of the ice, doesn't mean that the ice is hard enough to drill a hole and have you stand near that hole. |

No ice fishing for us this past weekend. It''s been plenty cold enough to make ice (-25 Celsius this morning)...but I let my nephew borrow my sled Saturday morning and he hit a tree. He's fine, but the right bumper, nose cone and belly pan are shot. There's no damage to the bulkhead or skies, but replacement parts will be around $800....and he's only 9 yrs old. so it looks like the repair costs will be mine. @#$%&! |

Thanks mrbill. I'm hoping to find used parts at a decent price so I can get the sled going asap. |
