JIvers Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I found 3" of good clear ice underneath 3" of cloudy frozen slush on a small pond near Iowa City this morning. This was a pond that had a coating of slush and water on top of some flooded ice (no idea on how thick that ice was) on Wednesday before the heavy snow, wind, and deep freeze arrived. Caught a lot of bluegills through that ice this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbad401 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 RumRiverRat, were you the one that punched all the holes in Crooked lake? I got out there today to see what the ice was like and saw a bunch of holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 2-6" of ice on the smaller lakes in the Duluth area. Bigger lakes are still thin but the bays are setting up ok. Only about 1-2" of ice on the St. Louis Bay. Nights from -10 to 8 degrees are making some good ice with the little snow we got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g_anoka Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Oh oh, I wonder if that was my son. He bought a new carb for an old jiffy of mine, and he had to test it, kids. He did say he was only out by the public access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundguy21 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 That was me that put all those holes out from the landing in crooked, I was just checking the ice thickness. I pulled my portable out probably 200 yards from the landing, but that's as far as I got.Two guys were there with a SM Mag 2000 they said they had just rebuilt the carb, maybe that was your son?
