Re: ice fishing flasher help?

6 inches? we'll be waiting til february lol..... 3-4 is all you need we may not get 6 if it doesnt stay cold for long enough in between. Im def in but I wouldnt bother on budd lake, its cleaned out from what I hear. Monksville u got a chance for some eyes amongst other things. Shallow lakes freeze up first usually theres alot of them around

Monksville has alot of different species to catch but it takes a while for the South side to freeze. South side holds most of the Walleye on Monksville although I have seen a couple short Eyes pulled up right in the channel. Ive definitely been on 6 inches of ice in January. I was on 28-30 inches of ice at Swartswood 2 years ago in the beginning of February. We'll just have to wait and see what MOTHER NATURE brings!!!

dude, 2 years ago was an amazing ice season, on the ice way into march, i loved it. it was such a letdown with last year as a follow up.

here's to hoping we get a chance for a meet and greet this year! another few weeks and i will be out looking around for 1300'+ elevation for 3"+ of ice.
