Anyone ice fishing?

Saw several trucks head out on the lake this morning up here.

A buddy was out on Wed. on a lake about 50 miles N or St. Cloud. GThere were still full sixed trucks driving out.

I have made that mistake before at this time of the year. Drove out and drilled a bunch of holes. Seemed like a good 20″ of ice. About 10:00 decide to drill a few more and there was 8-10″ of good ice and the rest was honeycomb. Packed it up and left as quick as I could.

Ah yes. Trampoline ice.

That is wild and a for sure pucker moment!

There’s another month of ice fishing yet up north. I’ll probably venture out once more anyway.

2 places I couldn’t get through without an extension so far today. A little water on top but only the top 3 inches looks soft.

Would you go to Rush lake?

Not sure where that is but definitely not.

Cats tonight once the moon comes up. Crappies in the morning if it isn’t raining. Pulling the boat out of storage Sunday. I’d like to get out next weekend up at the cabin for one more ice trip but might be tough if weather is conducive for the boat.
