Welcome that’s awesome. We enjoyed a quiet Christmas Day cooking and taking dinners to elderly neighbors. Couldn’t have fished anyway, 14 degree temps and 6 inches of snow. Beautiful day to celebrate the birth of our Savior. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Jesus.

Merry Christmas Buckeye.
Kudos to you on the Christmas meals.
It is such a blessing to have good neighbors.
14 degrees wouldn’t have stopped me. However 6” of snow would have. Boats ramps are tough to pull a boat out on snow I imagine!

Have you done any ice fishing for crappie, Buckeye? If I had a bucket list, that would be an item near the top. In Montana, I fished for trout and burbot through the ice many times. By far the coldest wind chill that I ever witnessed came on a day that the radio said it was 102 below. Usually, the actual temperature only gets to 30 below when there is no wind (radiational cooling). But one day, the radio said it was something like 37 below with a 35 mph wind, making it 102 below. It was a scary trip, with seven layers. It took about 45 minutes to clear a hole and get a hook to the bottom. A burbot hit immediately and froze instantly when I pulled it out. A second burbot was also caught immediately. That was enough for me. When I got back to town, my buddies said that nobody would be crazy enough to go out in that weather. I showed them the fish, and they decided that I was truly crazy.

I moved here from Colorado and I love ice fishing. I've had fish flash freeze on the ice within 5 mins but never instantly. It must have been cold.
I fished yesterday evening for an hour and couldn't get the crappies to bite. Moved onto shallow water and got into couple SMB trolling Flicker Shads on leadcore in 18 fow.

Hey fellas. I haven’t tried any ice fishing for Crappie as we don’t get thick enough ice here in Southern Ohio any more. I could travel up to northern Ohio and try but it seems the icy conditions are dwindling there as well. I was once on a military high altitude high opening free fall mission and about froze to death. We got out of the C130 at 25,000 feet in 70 below air temps, opened chutes at 24,000:and traveled miles for nearly 45 minutes. When I landed I couldn’t feel my hands or anything really. I just stood there in the sun trying to thaw out but I digress. I don’t do well in cold weather.
My wife is my fishing partner and she wouldn’t step onto the ice for love or money...LOL.

Just a little update.
Fished Friday afternoon, on lots of fish, not 1 bite in 3 hours.
Figured it must be a morning bite, fished Saturday til 1200, no fish no bites.
I have no idea, maybe their just to cold.
WT 37 degrees, lake froze over from Carlisle up.

I had the same luck here. The only difference is that I didn’t get off the couch
