Hard Water

Has anyone been able to do any ice-fishing? Some of the Indiana boys at work have talked about having ice thick enough, but I haven't been able to get away from work to try it here on the 'right' side of the river.

Tried to do some Ice fishing But....... By the time I broke the ice enough to launch the boat I was to tired to continue. LOL. I'll pass on the hard water. Seems too boring to sit in one spot all day. But I guess if all of the water was frozen then I would do whatever to get a line wet, and get out of the house. Good luck in your frozen adventures.

Does breaking through a layer of ice to net some minnows from a bucket count as "ice fishing?"

I would say that here in central Ky that would count. Probably not a good ided the try to ice fish here. I don't know of a lake that has Ice all the way across it, other than farm ponds.
