Ice reports?

[geliason]

Out on Cannon with my wife yesterday. Got out about 10:00 and found 10" of good ice, although we did walk through a couple inches of slush near the shore. Nothing on the Vex until 1:00. She outfished me again, but got a good fishfry out of it. Had to have glow to get a sniff.

Do you have the ability to share the picture as that always is a great reminder for people who get a little anxious and don't stay diligent about ice safety.

Thanks Mike

I know no ice is safe but if you check the ice where you are going it's one thing, than just going out to a spot with out checking it. I went around on Saturday an checked lakes an  there where a cars an trucks out an haven't heard of anyone going  through on those lakes an they had some big house out with there trucks. I'm not trying to start anything at all just saying if you going to drive check the ice where you are going to go. 

I know I'm going to pull my house out this coming weekend with my truck but I did check it on Saturday an know how the ice is an it was good where I'm going an there where trucks out there.

SE bay on german,

Hello all, I am basically new to ice fishing and have never been out in this area. I was curious if anyone could share any insights about Lura near Mapleton. I found the lake on the DNR's lake finder tool and am interested in checking it out. I also read that it has two aerators and this can make ice thin? 

 

Thanks all!

Was out on Cedar lake today. Measured 10" of ice at 20 fow.

The panfish bite was pretty good but it was all small stuff. And got a 23" pike.

What does 20 fow mean? I keep seeing everyone using the word fow and I can't figure out what it means!

I got out on Washington with a group of guys and targeted some un pressured areas of the lake. The fishing was horrible in all the areas we tried. Ice was as little as 7" in the slushy areas to 12"+ in the bare ice areas.

I walked out on French this weekend.  Surrounded by wheel houses and full size trucks.  Measured 13 inches of ice.  Could not get fish to commit.
