aplumma Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 I don't know how you all have the energy to go ice fishing I was too tired to even wet a line. Art
OhioFisherman Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 LOL, all that rowing is tough work!
Acountdeleted Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 The motor wasn't much help at all.
grimsbylander Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 Ok until someone wants to troll.
irishfield Posted January 16, 2017 Report Posted January 16, 2017 I think Art is trolling.. from the warmth of Virginia !!
Old Ironmaker Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 That is not ice fishing. It was the May Walleye opener in the near North 2014. Remember?
GBW Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 That is not ice fishing. It was the May Walleye opener in the near North 2014. Remember? That's part of Simcoe still from the looks of it...
SylvanOwner Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 Do you wait until spring to change spots?
aplumma Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Posted January 18, 2017 We actually do not ever get safe ice here. The best I have seen is pond skating. We do get ice that forms near the shore and will break off in sheets and damage docks on the river. We put a triangle of steel on the upriver side of docks to break up and redirect the sheets of ice in the spring. It is just enough to keep you off the water but not enough to fish thru. As we speak we have clear water and can launch a boat on any of our water right now. Art
OhioFisherman Posted January 18, 2017 Report Posted January 18, 2017 No ice here either, one of my neighbors has a half acre pond in his front yard and I don't think it has had more than sheet ice on it all winter. Temps in the 50's for the next few days, some of my friends may be having mid winter bass tournaments!
Dara Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Your doing it wrong;) You're And for you southerners. How can you live without ice fishing ? I have friends coming from Ohio,Indiana, Kansas and Florida just to play in the snow next week. Edited January 21, 2017 by Dara

GBW Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 but if I a had perma soft I certainly wouldnt complain! Huh?
Dara Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 The only reason I snowmobile and ice fish is because we have snow and ice and I'm not going to skip a quarter of my life. Oh yeah. Also. Ice fishing is the best

Also. Ice fishing is the best Glad you enjoy it that much! I do too but Ill still take flaccid water over viagra water. Although I heard from geoff cialis water is the best water. Fishin is fishing and it all fun!
MJIG Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) And for you southerners. How can you live without ice fishing ? What's the furthest south that people do ice fish in a normal year, I wonder? Edited January 21, 2017 by MJIG

Dutch01 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) I love ice fishing at least as much as soft water. I don't think I could choose one over the other. Edited January 21, 2017 by Dutch01
OhioFisherman Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) What's the furthest south that people do ice fish in a normal year, I wonder? I live about 35 miles southwest of Cleveland Ohio, about 25 miles due south of Lake Erie, defining a normal year here can be a problem! Ice here is known to be suspect most years, although " safe ice " seemed to more common in my youth. The local weather has the high temp today at 62 f and we get wide swings in our temperatures that make you question the safety of the ice. It gets even worse as you move south from here, it's not unusual for Columbus Ohio to have temps in the 50's when ours are in the low 30's. There is no ice here, there was a bit of thin sheet ice on some of the local ponds a while ago, but it disappeared. Once you get into Kentucky? Finding safe ice becomes even more of an issue. https://www.glerl.noaa.gov//res/glcfs/glcfs-ice.php?lake=e&type=N&hr=00 Lake Erie lack of ice conditions! Edited January 21, 2017 by OhioFisherman
aplumma Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Posted January 21, 2017 In Virginia we do not get safe ice on anything except shallow ponds. In Michigan we could go ice fishing. We get enough ice to make it at times impossible to launch boats at most places. The thing that stops us is mainly the damage that water would do if you didn't winterize the boat after each outing from dec to mar. I could go down to the river and shore fish with no issues right now. We also could get 36 inches of snow in the next two months in one storm. I had the motorcycle out today to warm it up to change the oil go figure. Art
