i was planing on fishing them some this year, guess I will have to let them run me off, or show me a lake rule that says I cant

Ok, here's my stupid ? for the year. The 'ville is the same as Carlyle as far as the corps. letting out water. IF the water level at Carlyle is at 445' and the lake freezes to lets say 6" thick ice. Then they drop the level to 443' as they're doing now. Will the ice lose its support and be easy to break? OR does the ice sink as the level drops? Like I said it's my dumb ? for the year!!!!!

Iv seen both take place. I really think it's a toss up but im sure more people know better than I. Iv seen some pretty crazy ice slopes from the lake dropping on shelby when its already froze. Can you say brush crusher?

The ice stays but the water drops below it, not safe.

I thinking this has to break soon and we will get some above average temps by the first of March, I'm guessing March 7th.

I knew that the way this winter was going, that starting this thread would get some results. The rest of you guys don't have anything better to do than I do. Come on warm weather.

At this rate. My guess is August 1st . Someone kill the snowman please!

as long as it is out by may 17th for crappie camp
