Not looking for exact lake names, but it would be nice if we had a little thread where people could inform the masses on ice thicknesses and what they are seeing out there in certain areas of the state to help guys decide when or if they are gonna give it the first try. Had a friend tell me last night he saw 2 guys on a certain part of Nelson Bay. Curious what guys are seeing farther Northeast. I might try a few smaller lakes Sunday or Monday if we dip into the teens the next 4 or 5 nights. Good Luck!

I have a solid 4 inches on the English Coulee behind my house.
I get that question quite often. Early ice varies so much that I'm VERY LEARY about giving advice. If somebody took my advice and then fell in and didn't get out, I don't think I would handle that very well. I advise extreme caution to everyone venturing out on early ice. Be Safe Guys!! No fish is worth getting hurt over!!
makes my skin crawl thinking about it

I fell through late late duck hunting when i was a 20something. Over my waist and no waders - i was taking a short cut -- i cant say how far from shore -- but it it took everything to push down break the ice move push down break the ice to get out -- you couldnt crawl onto it as it would break you were in a shit pot with no easy way out. Soaked and cold as hell. I couldnt do it now. Laughed back then. If it would of been chest high -- swimming would of did no good. Same with spikes as the ice was to thin to hold except if it was all froze together. Bottom line -- early ice fishing overrated.
Apparently this is Audobon today.
Eeeeee! I was once that gung ho. Wind comes up he's in deep doodoo.

Been there, done that. Watched a guy's fish trap blow into open water, float over it and hit ice again only to blow to the other side of the lake. We sat on a nice 4-5 inches and pounded about 50 jumbo perch. I was young, thin, and unwise at the time. Worked out great, though.

Everybody knows you don't go full retard..
That only makes sense to a man with no balls, right Wags "ha ha just kidding"
Same here. Just when I thought I've done things without any usage of gray matter whatsoever I see this guy.
I caught fish yesterday but it was in a boat. That guy is nuts.
The real question is: Boat RamRod or Ice Shelter RamRod?
I would do it
