Well we were up Archery hunting here in MN the last few days. We hunt around this small lake that is just loaded with panfish. It was froze over so I had to check it out. Took the hatchet down there and wouldnt ya know it 2-3 inches of ice. Back to the camper i go dig up some line and a hook. Grab a can ofcorn. I am fishing!. Caught about 25 kept 8 and had fresh sunnies at deer camp!
The lake I lived on skimed over 3 days ago. So far 150 yard from shore ice is 3" thick. From 100 yards out I assume is 1/2" because the east half just skimmed over. Monday Im gonna do some ice fishing. Plus its black ice!

I have a cottage in Kenosha county on a lake. I went up today to visit and the bulk of the lake is skimmed over. It is 12 degrees out right now so I am really hoping that I might be able to get out next weekend. Temps are supposed to be below freezing all week.
Walked out a few feet this morning and the ice was about 1.5" thick. Was fully expecting to fall through but it felt solid. A huge section of open was was visible lastnight but frozen over this morning. Should be able to get out and fish this weekend!
First ice!
