Ice Fishing?

Anyone been on the ice yet? I went yesterday and today. Caught 3 walleyes yesterday and 4 today, along with a couple crappies.

Ice today is 6" on the lake I was on.

No ice yet....but if this weather keeps up...might be on the ice by mid December....and that’s early around here. What yah got 4” ?

Is St Cloud the northern part of Minn ?

6", but it doesn't look like it in the picture. This is, by far, the earliest I have ever been on the ice.

I am betting some people will be out on Houghton Lake this weekend. I have lived here 45 years and don't ever remember the lake being ice across this early. I was walking a black bottom Marsh today that normally doesn't have use enough to walk on until mid to late December. Just waiting for the warm up to ruin everything.

St. Cloud is right in the middle of Minnesota.

Man I am jealous of u .... Nothing I love more than ice fishing but I need to get my deer before I get my gear out .... Earliest I have been out is Christmas Eve .... Hoping for an earlier start this year ...

Welcome to Minnesota.

We have about 4 inches on the smaller lakes and ponds here, quite a few guys fishing. I think this is the earliest I can ever remember having safe ice, normally it is sometime after Thanksgiving.

I like to have at least 10" of ice under me,that water is COLD...….Looks like it will be an earlier ice fishing season than normal,i'm guessing they'll be people fishing Lake of the Woods by December 1st this year if not earlier,again the water is VERY COLD THIS TIME OF YEAR,stay safe and rip some lips......

I'm ducking out of work early and heading out tomorrow afternoon.

Where the weather sucks ...Big Time !

I tried but ended up really wet.

Not really.

Your winters there are the same as Northern NH.....just wayyyyy to long...for me.

Not enough ice here yet , most places only have 2 inches

I'll be in the boat fishing the Mississippi tomorrow thru hopefully Tuesday, water has came down 4' in the last 2 weeks and temps look decent. Eyeballs and saugers should be snapping

Quit ice fishing years ago cause winter river fishing is fantastic

Been a few guys out here. Haven’t made time yet

I have been out a couple of times in front of my house. I have about 5 inches out there now. Caught a nice walleye last night .

Is this the norm.....or way early this year ?

Our weather here is a month ahead, crazy.

Went thru 3 scoops of fatheads today in 6 hours on the Mississippi, put over 50 walleyes in the boat with an average size of 14", the minimum is 15" and we caught nothing legal. Fast action and missed as many as we caught. Unfortunately we couldn't find the bigguns

Got out today with my dad and a few buddies not far from our deer camp. Finished with 7 keeper perch and one keeper walleye. Also jigged up one short eye on a jig and waxie. Maybe drank a beer or two, too.

Southern middlewestern, lol

There was 4 1/2" of ice out in front of my boat ramp yesterday, and I chainsawed through it to see ( and to move an obstruction).

That would be snowmobile safe.

I think I'm a bit farther north of MNMan and I have a full 6" of ice on the lake here. This lake may be smaller tho at just under 400 acres.

Osky

Date dere warming of the globe

You liar, you live in WI. You drank more than two beers while ice fishing. Lol.
