Just wondering if anybody has had a chance to check out, or maybe even get out on the ice on Mississippi ( Grasshopper or by Baitcasters) or Clayton/Taylor?

RRC, We were hoping to get our shack out on the Mississippi yesterday. We always put it out across from Grasshopper Bay. Checked the ice and there is only about 2 inches. There was lots of top water.

This cold snap should make it good for later this week.

Thanks for the report!

I usualy like about 4" before I start to walk on the ice.

My fishin' partner was out on the Miss on Saturday. Bays are frozen solid 5 - 6", but anywhere that there is an current at all had between 2 4 " of ice. Hopefully with this cold snap we'll be able to get to the honey hole early next week with the shack!
