Huckfinn Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Has anyone here on this site ever Ice fished Stockton -10 Degrees tonight and -12 tommorrow night. Thats cold boys I have never felt that cold of weather. And If the ice was thick enough I would try it. Then I dont need a boat !!! ha ha Just curious If anyone has ever pulled the auger out and drilled any holes in stockton lake
straw hat Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Most northern states recommend at least 6" of ice to go out on a lake. I have only seen this once or twice before. Although it sometimes gets this thick in real shallow water, the ice gets thinner as you go out over deep water. In-other-words, I have always been a coward when it comes to ice fishing!! lol
dennis boatman Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 There is plenty of "soft" water on Stockton...i'd just stick to that... A strike indicator is just a bobber...
Huckfinn Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Uh no. I'm not ready to die just yet.
Huckfinn Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Oh smart mouth I see I like that Dutch, straw hat in his life time he has only seen 6 in of ice on stockton 2 times that is what my guestion was. thanks straw hat... I did'nt want to know if you wanted to die or not Dutch... Yes you would die if you fell in a quarter in of ice. they call that " Walkin on thin ice" dont do that!! We did'nt get -11 and -12 like they forcasted. Now if we got that for a week strait I would come to think that would do the trick. And then i could walk on water. What a weird feeling that is. I've been on ponds before but never Stockton. Im pretty sure Aron Crocker went Ice fishing on stockton when we were kids. So it stayed cold enough then. I did'nt go mommy would'nt let me go... Instead I had to go break ice for the cows... It was thick I had to take the spliting maul. It took for ever to get to water. Good old cows they loved me that day... And that same winter I seen some guys that owned dome-buggies. And they were driveing on ponds for fun it was really neat to watch they would slide in circles down the whole pond and slam into the bank and take off and do it again... They did'nt die that day dutch... God gives us all FAITH I thank him everday for it... Huck
Members Bubfisher Posted February 5, 2011 Members Posted February 5, 2011 Let me know if you do go, interested to see how much ice there is? also I used to ice fish before i moved to missouri I would go if ther was at least 4 inches
Huckfinn Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 I dont think it is 4 in. yet it wont do it. So you have ice fished thats cool did you have a deal with a flag that flips up when a fish is on? You are from up north? did you do any good?

You are from up north? did you do any good? 4" is not enough, stay off!! I live just south of Omaha and they've been on the ice for the last 3 weekends. Drove the snowmobile out last weekend. Tip ups work well for ice fishing......however given a choice I'd rather be floating on the water instead of driving on it. www.drydock516.com
Huckfinn Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 yeah tip ups thats the name of them. No I would'nt trust 4 in. Im with straw hat 6 in and I would try it. Im to busy pushing snow to get away and fish. And I hear that we are getting more tues. and wed. oh boy another round of it... Huck
