Old plug Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I have been on this lake through during several freezes. this one is the strangest I have ever seen. this morning when I got up the lake was frozen out from my dock about 50 yards where I live almost on the channel. I a, flabbergasted it did not freeze over the last cold spell. before this morning there was no ice bank to bank in my lake area. now with a slight wave ripple it was virtually been eliminated it all the way back to the dock and appears as if is going to clear it all out. This in face of a 3 pm afternoon temp 8 degrees. All I can think of is this late fall warmth mist have had a awful lot of impact on the thin knees of that warm upper layer.

fishinwrench Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Here's the ice line today on the upper Gravi Been a long time since I've seen it frozen down this far. I expect it will be solid down to the mouth of Indian cr. tomorrow, but then it should start to melt back some.

fishinwrench Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yep, just went and checked it, it froze over as far as I can see, past Mill cr. for sure. In case you're wondering how deep the ice is..... here's a chunk from 40' off the shoreline over a 6 ft. deep flat. Over 10" No fish were caught Lots of creepy moaning and groaning noises coming from under the ice. grizwilson and conorsixtakc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GSPHUNTER Posted January 17, 2018 Members Share Posted January 17, 2018 Wow, I would have never guessed it was that thick. Last night was super still though. Perfect conditions for building ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old plug Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 If your thinking about wondering around out there on it THINK TWICE. I have seen 6 inches several times on this lake but I would not dare go out on it. Warn Warner from ground melt snow or sain Shang other things goe down into the ground and eventually being Warner comes up in the lake under the ice wArming spots here and there that you do not see but they are thin enough for you to go through. that is up by you wrench. Bet it is 3" up there that's fern frozen a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I took my cordless drill and a 6" long 3/8" bit out to the end of Coconut's dock...I did not hit water. They are dropping the lake so it's likely to tear the hell out of some docks in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old plug Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 No doubt it will if they do not have a good deicerMine clears the water all round my double stall dock. I am very thankful the Ice has not gotten very thick around here. We got a warm up coming should break it up before it get to the thickness were it is a terror if you are the wind direction line at the time when the ice flows start moving. That is when the real bad damage comes including the anchors in the sea wall also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
