Thread: any safe ice??

Has anyone been out on the ice the last few days? just wondering if small farm ponds would still be ok.

been such a strange year as far as the ice goes, be hard to set a blanket statement. The further north you go, the better your odds. Most places did suffer melt-off from the rain and warm-up we had last week. places that had good ice, should be good, places that melted off will need another day/night or 2 like this. Just be cautious, and use your head.

P.s i checked a pond yesterday that did not melt off, and it had only 2-3" both new ice, and the ice that didnt melt, ponds usually are the first to freeze up and first to ice-out, i would be careful with the ponds.

I fished a pond in Madison Co. yesterday, about 5" total, never opened up last week.

Fished a good sized pond just north of Ft Wayne yesterday. Ice was good. Fishing wasn't.

In my freezer.

Anyone been out on Missy?

I haven't heard of anyone on Miss. yet, but did see a post on iceshanty.com about there being a good 5" back on Salamonie Res by the 105 bridge. I would think the Miss should be getting close. Be careful always.

Any new news regarding safe ice, either around Indy or Fort Wayne.

plenty of ice dude plenty. drilled at least 8" today.

7-10 around Warsaw way!!!!
