With some small ponds near home I managed to find three inches yesterday and was able to wet a line. Felt great to be on that early! though not all the ice was safe even on the half acre pond, so be carefull out there!
…had a pic to post as proof but haven’t quite figured that out from my phone yet..
Can u say jealous you must be by mason city what kind of phone do you have
I managed 6 gills that may have been lucky to see 4″ …not the results I wanted but it was nice to take the rust off! I was near grundy center. wnd ihave an android…
I’m hoping to be out on a farm pond by Sunday, in Tama county. Union Grove lake was capped over yesterday afternoon also, so it shouldn’t be long there.
I live by Mason City and I am “planning” on giving it a try Sat on a smaller pond. I drove by Clear Lake yesterday and was surprised that it was covered. NO WAY would I go out there, but still… hopefully I can find some ice on Sat. I remember last year I was out early and hammered come crappies right away!!!
Union grove is locked up? Great news! With these temps I may make the short drive on monday!

The boy went out and drilled a couple holes just off shore yesterday, only 2 inches. I was kinda hoping for more. But with last nite’s temps and tonights forecast, I’m still hoping for this weekend. I’ll post on what I find.
