Ice Thickness


Recommended Posts

I am planning on coming up to fish this weekend off of Arneson's. What is the ice thickness in this area? Is there a road going out from the access (not Arnesons access, the other one)? Do we need to bring the four wheeler or can we get by with just the truck? Thanks for the replies.

Jacob -

Ice is good, about 24" depending where you are. Road access is Babblers rd. It's just before arneson's. No worries on a pick-up, the road goes all the way to 16mile. Good luck and can't wait to hear a report when you get back....heading up next weekend, can't wait! gator

We fished at Gull Rock, just off out of Babblers again this weekend. The main road is good, but some of the side roads are not cleaned. Be very aware of were you are as we had to shovel last weekend, this weekend we were able to push out. Have Fun!

We were in 27ft of water with about 24" of ice. 2 perch, 1 was a keeper, 1 eel pout, 13 sauger/walleye 4 were keepers. Pink and white angle eye, pink/white jig heads were most effective. No fish after 1 pm

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.

      I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!
