Has anybody been out to any farm ponds yet (atlantic area)? Was wanting to take my son fishing this weekend but didn't want to bring it up until I knew.
 
Grew up in Atlantic and still have family there - long ways from there now. Would move back tomorrow, but wife is a southern girl. Looks like ya'll are in the deep freeze this week - don't miss that part of it! Hope all is well in Trojan Country.
 
Can’t speak specific on the Atlantic area however I was south and east of there and the ice was good. 12 mile area. 5-8” depending on spots on the lake. Next couple days should really clear up any spots that would be iffy, IMO.

Ya think? :) :) I am just hoping that my pond does not freeze to top to bottom in one gigantic block! :) :)
 
There is a good snow cover over our ponds that should slow ice formation, but should have plenty of thickness to be safe.

They went out over the weekend and said their was a good 6-7 inches and most definitely added a few more the past few days. Sounds like Saturday with a high in the 40's should be a nice day to be out. It's going to feel like a heat wave!

Thanks for all your updates.

I grew up a block and a half from your dad back in the day. Ol' "Ox" was a good dude! My brother was in Danny's class.
 
Ha - was hard to tell in your avatar with all the face paint, but knowing your family and how ya'll grew up hunting I thought it was probably you. Great buck! Hope all the family is doing well! Tell Jason I said hello. Take care bud.
