Dec 7th Ice Conditions

Yesterday the ice moved back in to pine island and piled up some 8 inch ice. Today we cut thru some of the rough ice to make a path on the lake side of pine island. The ice past that looked good for about 2 miles then I had some spots with 3 inches of ice. There is still open water down by the pines and scatered around the lake. If the lake does not move for a couple of days we may start fishing but we will have to wait and see. In the bay today the thin spots had 4 3/4 inches and no trail marked yet. I will keep checking it and let you know.

Thanks for the posts. Wife and I have scheduled a sleeper with you just after x-mas for our baby boys first fishing trip.

He’s already telling stories about the big one that got away…
