just be careful everybody. Hearing about that father and son dying really woke me up. Don't think I will be venturing out again unless we get some solid ice again. until then im looking for open water again.

Went to Struble this morning, there 4 guys out on the ice so I figured it was good. I joined them and quickly realized the ice was questionable. It measured 4- 5 inches but it was soft gray ice. There are also small open spots here and there. I wasn't comfortable being out there, fished for bout one hour and then carefully made my way back in. I'm certain the next cold blast later this week will stiffen it up, until then if you venture out, use extreme caution!

I was one of the guys there iceman and left about a half hour after you. I thought that when the other three ventured out that it was OK. I left and they were still out there roaming around. As iceman said, if you go out there use extreme caution. Better yet, give it a few days to tighten up before you give it a go.

Has anybody taken a look at the lake lately? Looks like its going to be plenty cold throughout the weekend. If it is good to go by then I will be out in the hut with the heater on. Just wonder how bad it got beat up since you're last post iceman

Spent 6 hours on the ice today. The snow was flying which added a little slush on the ice. Early morning bite was good then it was a slow and steady bite of bluegills, crappies and perch. Panfish and I were fishing in 14 feet of water. The ice is about 5-6 inches and should really tighten up after the next artic blast this weekend. Been getting more ice time than I would of imagined, Fish On!

There is some real cold air moving into the area starting tomorrow night. That ice should build up pretty quickly especially over the weekend. Think there is any chance the coves at marsh will freeze up enough by Monday? Haven't driven by in a couple weeks

Just wondering if anyone else is planning on going out Friday. My Friends and I are planning on going out this weekend but I'm looking to get for the first time Friday.
