ozark trout fisher Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Bump. I don't know either. How thick does it have to be? When I was there Wednesday morning it was close to 3/4" 4 solid inches is generally considered the minimum for ice fishing. You might be able to get away with less, but I wouldn't try it personally. I was thinking about heading out there today for a few hours, but I'm really getting tired of the whole ice thing. It's not that it wasn't fun at first, but it's really getting old. I think I'm just gonna wait till tommorrow when I can make it down to one of the trout streams (hopefully Montauk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fat Sucker Posted February 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 Bump. Anyone been out there? Went to 23 this afternoon. Ice is about 2 inches thick so it's way to thin to walk on. Had to use an anchor to bust through - not much fun. Fished with my son and Dad for about 3 hours - not one bite. Saw a few other guys catch one each but it was really slow for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric1978 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Bummer. Guess it'll slow the slaughter down a little at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MnWalleyeGuy Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 Ice is toast @ Busch. A few weeks ago it was about 8"+, now it is less than an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
