Ice Conditions

[crappie king]

Hey,

Has anyone been out checking ice depths Today.

Was wondering how the bigger lakes such as Lida Lizzy, and franklin were doing after this last cold snap. I was hoping to get out Saturday and im a little ways away from the lake and info would be appreciated. I did hear from the bait shop

people are out on Prairie lake and there is 4 inches as of today but no reports on the bigger lakes.

Thanks

I was out on Lida this afternoon (12/08/05) and it was between 6-9 inches.

Cliffy,

Thanks for the info, but i did make it on Lida last weekend

i was the only one out 1/2 mile and there was a couple of guys and a atv out in bass horbor, looked like Jason who used to own the bait shop. There was about darn near 6 inches where i was last weekend, i thought there would be about 10 inches by now, must be that little snow cover keeping it insulated

we need some 10 below to get it cracking, anyway the fishing honesty was terrible, couple small sunfish and small walleye

things can only get better. Stop by and see me if your out this weekend, ill be out Saturday in a one man fish trap.

Hey Shawn,

This is Steve C, Ya i saw that area, it was like a large circle, but don't worry its ok,you can 4 x 4 all around that area, the ice got thicker there. Brad said he was coming up but he may not make it out, he is working on his new house and may be to busy, but he will be up and he might make it out.I will most likly be up in the afternoon Saturday will talk to you then, the weather is going to be warmer, but then it always get windy, hope to see you soon and hopefully

the fishing picks up too.

Steve
