blue79 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Went to the first boat ramp and swim beach and was froze way out.There is about a 2 foot spot of water between the shore and the ice.Saw some dead shad and something else so i got my pick and broke the ice and it was a cleaned crappie.Dont know how long its been there and i didnt see any holes in the ice.Alot of big rocks on top of the ice where people have tried to break it.Went to the second swim beach and it was froze way out.There is a trail by the second swim beach that goes to the water and the rock quarry and there is no ice. Went to Orleans Trail Public Use Area and it was open.There was alot of slush and chunks sloshing around at the bank but there were some guys there getting ready to put in. Went to the marina and broke some holes.I threw my 20lb anchor about 30 times.Was able to get a hole with my pick and then bashed it with the anchor.Ice was 3-4 and 5-6in.I got me 3 holes im gonna try tomorrow.Ill have my chainsaw next time.
