Just talked to Tom at Marion Manor, 6-8 people at Edgewater catching some perch and a few walleye in about 10 feet of water. Stay away from Lewis Point, someone just went thru. Not safe ice yet.
Didn't anyone tell the person that it was open water about 5 days ago confused.

South Shore launch was good ice for about 100 yards and that was it 6" of good hard ice to a small horseshoe crack and maybe 2" of new ice after so yesterday morning the deepest you could get was about 5' tops from the launch.. Moved to Williams Park and found much better ice and snowmobiles riding at high speed alog the shore, ice was good all the way out to 17 plus " good solid 6" plus and quite a few guys out there. we caught mostly small fish and Tuzzy did get a couple keepers. Walking was great good traction and the trap slid niceley behind. Probably should have tried past the islands or at least checked it. We fished around the park area not catching any big fish..

Yup Bunch of snowmobilers was the first call, Well DUH!!!. The part that really gets me is the next call they got was for a father and son ice fishin duo!! Not sure how old the son was but if was just a kid, can u imagine the kind of memory he will have as he gets older? Will he ever want to fish the hard stuff again?? some people just dont use common sense..

Edgewater report - Past the shove ice around 9" of hard ice as you head west out to 28' 5" of ice. Snow was 8" to 12" and there was a main path but North Shore definitely got a work out. They didn't mark many fish and only caught a few perch and no slammers. On the way back in he noticed a few guys fishing 13' to 16' range.

Frank - Greg ran into Lek and Al when he came off the ice.

North shore would be Jewell, Timmy?

First ice is usually good for Waldos...at least that was the spot last year. Could you send me a email with directions, as I forgot from last year crazy

Thanks and be safe!!

I agree, so many times I've gone some place just to hear "You should have been here yesterday or all last week". Nobody ever tells anyone the bite is hot until it's over. LOL

It is real nice haveing a circle of friends, especially great friends like on here. But as far as reports go, we are all better of just going places and fishing... hopefully together as much as possible... cool

Thanks for the report on Chapmans Iceman. I hope it is truly fishable...would be nice to see how the fish will bite out there this year.

Sunday we will be heading West for a quick bite on one of the private Kettle Lakes.

Take care and be safe!

Any time AW. Right after I posted that I was headin to chapmans in the am I got a call from a buddy that wants to go out. Hes only been on the ice a couple times and Im more comfortable with a newbie on familiar water, er I mean ice.. so I made a quick intinerary change and looks like were heading to a smaller madison county lake in the am. But Sunday is looking good for Oneida if anyone wants to go..

Went about a mile out off Chapmans today in 26-29' marked a lot of fish, but was unable to ice any. Seems like they didn't like any lures or bait, also tried different type of presentations with no luck. Great to be on the big "O" again. Ice was 5-7" in most places, walking was some of the best I've had so far (easy pulling). Even going off the main trails wasn't to bad, just a little rough (bumpy).

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
