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

      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!
