How thick is the ice near you?

How thick is the ice near you? I'm in eastern Massachusetts, and I'm getting eager to get out on the ice and catch me some fish!

Not thick enough, yet. Hopefully soon it will be ready for some holes to be drilled, can't wait either.

6 to 12" most places, but might be a little dicey in places since we had that little earthquake night before last. I plan on finding out for sure tomorrow!

Just over 3" and it's supposed to warm up by the end of the week.[:(]

Northern Ontario, CANADA, 17.5" to 24" of solid blue ice with 4" to 6" of white slush ice on top of that.

I checked it a few days ago, and I think it was at least five inches thick ... now I've got to get back over to the lake and see what is biting!

andersk

Rats ... I've been too busy and now the ice is beginning to melt. I may have a chance ... or I'll just cast into the open water. Why does winter have to end so soon down here in the States![;)]

We have between 8 and 30 depending on the lake/river area. I have been out a lot this winter. Too much fishing to post much. What a terrible thing, huh?

I finally got over to my lake (read pond 200 yards by 100 yards) and the ice is breaking up around the edges. So I broke it up some more and tried fishing beside the ice ... couple nibbles and that is all! Bummer ... but it was fun to be outside, the weather is so great!

Ice? we ain't got no stinking ice. Actually our best striper fishing is the coldest time of the year. Up by the nuclear plant at the hot hole.

Lake Mille lac in central Mn had 37 inches last Sat, went out and caught a few perch that actually weighed 1lb plus. It was seventeen below zero this morning, if this keeps up we'll have a good four feet by the fourth of July.

Jackson Lake Wyoming, 18" good ice, 12"/16" lake ice and slush, 8" crusted hard snow on top and 7 less Lake trout in the water [:D]

It's about 7 inches deep in my cooler right now. A little crusty on top and big holes with millers lite poking through[:p][:p][:p]

Looks like I should have dated this thread! [:D]

austin

hello,

You all were talking about particular location? or just an own location?

andersk

I live near Boston, Massachusetts and now (October 2009) there is no ice at all!

k_townman

No ice, yet.

shoff14

Yes ice, can't wait!

The ponds are frozen over, larger lakes are open. One of my co-workers had to cancel his trip to ND because all of the ponds out there where frozen, and the crops are all in yet.
