Hey everyone!
Im asking this question because I'm the guy who always goes out realizing the ice has been thick enoug hfor weeks now! Im just hoping to find out how thick the ice is in certain places. I dont fish petrie or the ottawa so the mississippi or any other lake like that would be apprieciated. I do have gas auger, fin bore, frabill hut, I just want to use it asap I say bring o nthe cold weatehr and ice and lets get errrrrrrr done!

I fish on a bay on the mississippi, and the ice a few days ago was 6 inches.However,Ido not imagine the ice being that thick out on the channels, but with this weather, who knows.I will be fishing tomorrow with Ciscoekid and will give a report Striker.

keep being safe spence.
unknown water can be real tricky this time of year. a little flow under the ice can change it from 6 inches to 1 in a couple of feet.....
if you don;t know it, dont go.
if you do, you need a partner and should be tied off.
momma out
when...
