Ice Thickness??


Recommended Posts

Been out on it a few times i would say it is sketchy at best. Lots of areas of 4" but most aint that good. There is alot of air pockets in it with the weird freeze this year that are hard to see with the little snow. Should get better after this cold but obviously be careful.

Ventured out on the jagged ice pack, 4-8 inches of frozen ice chunks.  My spud went right through one spot so I didn't go any further.  This ice season is not for the faint of heart.  Stay off the main current and current seam edges or you could be asking for trouble.

Hello everyone, I had some general questions about ice fishing on the Minnesota River near the twin cities and if anyone has any recommendation or suggest where I could try fishing for cats. I just started ice fishing two seasons ago and finally have all my own gear. I live near the Burnsville mall and was just wondering if the river ever freezes over near black dog or some place close that would hold catfish. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just have never ventured out on the river. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Ice is never safe and adding flowing water makes it even more of a hazard.

      Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      First time ever going there with the wife. Little spendy but they make some darn good piles of meat! We had the brisket! 😋

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
