Official tPB ice fishing thread

Anyone in Omaha/Lincoln area fished the hard water yet? In the words of my wife, have we reached the magical 4 inches?

Got up to the dakotas a handful of times early in December and will be out on the ice near Lincoln tomorrow.

Ice wasn’t ready the spots I checked yesterday. Should be a full go tomorrow I’d think.

Be careful out there, the high wind during freeze up will cause really uneven ice conditions. It’ll be next week before I’m not spudding my way to each spot.

Heading up to Winnipeg to chase greenbacks for a week in march for my first time. Can’t wait
 
Been a goal of mine for last decade. Keep going up to Northern Michigan in January or February, but Ice hasn't been safe to be on any of those times. I keep missing it. Going to Honduras for a couple weeks in March, so no Winter Michigan trip this year. Maybe next Winter.

Where the hell were you in northern Michigan that didn’t have safe ice in January? Every body of water should be safe to drive a semi over up there by then unless you’re trying to get on one of the great lakes..
 
I haven’t been for the last few years. When I lived right outside of Wahoo I found a nice ledge on the treeline on Wanahoo and caught a lot of limits of Crappie. I’ve heard it’s been overfished a little the last few years and has slowed down.

Yeah I’ve had a couple people tell me it’s gone to shit the last year or so.

I know it filled with carp and shad and the northern population fell off a cliff but I went a stretch there of catching some nice walleye half way consistently there.

Nebraska game and parks fucking sucks so bad

Thank you sir
I heard a small lake just north of Lincoln had 5.5" on north side and just 1" in other areas
Sounds like should be good for this weekend at least but I aim to not be the first one out there lol
 
Just got home today from fishing in North Dakota. Caught shit loads of perch, they just weren’t very big on average.
 
Getting stuff ready for the weekend right now. Bout time we finally have fishable ice. For as much as I love it, hate that we get such a short season most years

Last 2 years our season here has been less than a month.

Okoboji/Big Spirit is really not a bad drive and are really really underrated for fishing if you’re trying to extend your season after we inevitably get a week of 60 degrees that sends everything to shit.
