Theo, so it seems that ice fishing is kind of spotty in your area. Like I say, I envy those who don't have frozen ponds all winter cause I'd like to see my fish now and again. I like ice fishing but I'd rather fish open water any day. The norm for me is iced over by mid November and ice out in mid April, that's 5 solid months! But this year it only got to about 16 inches, some times I have over 24 inches. I don't see how the fish in my pond survive in that it is stocked very heavy compared to some of you guys. But I got my aerator and I keep the snow off as much as possible.
