Nat'l Lampoons Ice Fishing Vacation

[icedog]

OK...so here it is almost New Years eve and yesterday it was 53F here in CR! So, as my dear old mother used to say, "where the heck is the ice?" I got out on 5" at MacBride yesterday morn...fishing in a tank top, cut offs and sandals...(please pass the sun screen!) hehehe Fun time! Just don't chase that frisbee to far toward the middle.....
Found a lot of cooperative fish where there was SAFE ice...crappies, BGs and bass of the aquarium size! Fun to have a tight line again...just wondering where anyone else has been going in the land o' Hawkeyes????
Farm pond directions would be welcome and appreciated....hehehe

herbacious, I think that there is still plenty 'o ice on Bussey Lake(and points north!)...if you can stand the crowds. I am sure that you have your own places "north" that will hold good size panfish...by the way, don't mind the GPS tracker I put on the roof of your truck...it don't mean nothin' hehehe

Isnt Iowa weather just peachy! Hit Clear last weekend and did well I guess....dad told me I should have saved the 2hr drive and tossed some bait in the river if I wanted to catch nice catfish. Being from Des Moines area I am dying for ice too....I guess you cant beat getting a tan while ice fishing, but this is silly to say the least. I have never really asked for an Alberta Clipper to come our way, but that may be welcome. I cant even find farm ponds with enough ice in my area....oh well, there is always January....

icedog,
I'm tired of catching all these open water saugers and eyes and I can't get any reports from Mark Twain so I'm heading north for some ICE FISHING.
your friend in need of ice,
