Just got back from spending the weekend in Ottertail County

Observed 4 to 6 inches of clear good ice on all lakes I ventured out on.

Some do have pressure cracks and ridges that are open so be careful out there.

anyone know about long lake in New Brighton. It was iced over last week, just wondering if anyone has a thickness to report. I will be able to check it tonight or tomorrow afternoon if no one has a report already.

Phil, email sent. Tonight is hard to nail down a time due to a meeting I have at work. I am new to the area and have never fished Long, Johanna, Turtle, or Owasso. I plan on trying these alot since I live in the area. If the ice is thick enough to fish, I may be out on one of these lakes tomorrow afternoon.

battle creek is fishable, just be sure youre walking out from the launch, not the pier as there is still unstable ice. i walked out on tanners from the dennys parking lot and even right from shore the ice didnt look ready, with water punching through as i stepped.

I took a trip to Lake Peltier in centerville and it seems there is 4 solid inches. Spent saturday and sunday there and didn't catch anything but 1 small perch.

A thanks to all the people sharing ice conditions:)

I had the same result on Peltier. Were you by Old Mill Road or the landing?

There are 116 long lakes in Minnesota. Can you be a little more specific?

read back a page and you will see it is long lake in new brighton. I didn't go too far out, so don't think that it is 4" over the entire lake.

    • 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.
