If I had a hut I think I could put a dent in some fish populations. I just don't have ice waaaaayyyy the heck down here in SW Indiana. Any ice we ever get I don't trust! Agree. Only Ice I trust is in my tea.

Last day of 2021 happened to be Fishing Friday! It was quantity over quality day...except for air temp.
Hit salt creek behind Monroe. Snagged a doz small shad then tried to catch something big.
Ended up down stream a bit caught 2 12 inch channels on cut shad and probably 10 or 15 small crappie. Maybe 1 would have been a keeper. Nice day regardless.
2022 is going to be my breakout year. May go pro...we will see

Good luck all for 2022. Temps at -23 actual air temp, going to try 3rd river in the morning for gills and crappie.

We get "safe" ice maybe once in five years, maybe. I have a buddy that will go. He and his partner wear life jackets, tie off to the nearest tree, and fish from an old jon boat sitting on the ice. I'm still staying home.

I'm still staying home. That is a lot of work for a handful of gills! My ice fishing is going to the docks on Monroe and verticle jigging for crappie, gills, yellow bass and yellow perch. Open water of course!

Sitting in the truck on the ice, building up the nerve to get the house setup. Sucks getting old, wouldn’t have batted a eye at these temps 5 years ago.

Fished a lake in northern Michigan yesterday. Got a couple 16-17" walleye, four big 13"ish perch, enough for a nice meal. Also a nice largemouth which was released.
