Hey guys I'm new the this (New to forums actually ) just came across this site looking for ice reports I live in Lincoln nd and have been itching to get on some hard water I called a gas station in bottineau yesterday asking about ice conditions the lady told me metigoshi has a good solid 8-10 inches I might make the drive up there this weekend I was told it's safe for atvs and sleds but she wasn't sure if trucks were driving out yet . I plan on bringing the atv . Can anyone on here maybe confirm that ? Hope she's right lol

Lazer I might take a drive tomorrow and check it out, If I do I'll post here. I had good intentions tonight but it got dark before made It that far. I saw ATVs on the ice 3 weeks ago but we are way up in the mountains you know, Haha Just kidding about the mountain range but I did see wheelers on the ice. Welcome to the mad house.

Completely okay. Welcome to NDA.

I can confirm good ice on Metigoshe. Still, as always, use caution.

There is no "IF" for me this weekend. I plan on having holes punched by 7AM tomorrow morning.

RustyTackleBox · Dec 8, 2017

the report from metigoshe was correct... I was up there on monday and it was 11" except by the bridge and that was 0" I did not drill a test hole in that area... lots of ATV and snowmobile tracks on the lake... good luck... i did not get into any gills, just 1 walleye, 1 perch, and 1 pike

Haven't quite decided yet. I want to start at either Coal Lake or venture up to Audubon, but I haven't heard much about the ice in the bays of Audubon in the last week?

I plan on being mobile; might even try to hit up to three lakes if I don't find a bite i'm liking.

That is solid advice, There is no logical explanation for thin ice sometimes. When I was a teenage my Dad and I pulled up into the bay northwest of the old boy scout camp opened the hood and hooked up the ice auger cables and the auger made about 3 turns and I damn near fell flat on my face when we struck water, Ice all around was solid 2 feet 2'' where we were , Lucky the 69 chevy two wheel drive was light . Old man made me walk and carry the auger and he backed out in the same tracks , A few feet away was 2 feet again. What was it , Five years ago? pickups were driving all around the lake and Christmas eve during a snow storm a pickup dropped one wheel through , The guys got out and were going to wait till daylight but the pickup sank . It was cold and stormy and they searched for the pickup for days before they recovered it. Be safe out there fellas, I've broke through and feel blessed to be typing this.
