Here's the great deal, christmas till April at Lake Kissimmee Florida. 7 years in a row to come. Cold weather here has really hurt the crappie fishing the last 2 weeks.
Great to be retir d and to be blessed to be able to do this vacation, actually a nice place to live.

Is it thick enough to ice fish?
Well look us up at roys maybe we can fry fish or something. Ice fishing on rend don't see many people doing it unless it's around the docks
Sounds good. We aint fishin the tournament just goin for fun. I wouldn't go out on that ice for anything. I'm sure it's thick in places. Don't ice fish anyway.Quote:

Suspect the east bridge might have been open too, but don't know for sure about it or the Gun Creek bridge.
It was a 5 inches of good ice everywhere I drilled...including right off the JB ramp.
how often does rend ice up?
Sounds like you guys are pretty knowledgeable of Rend Lake.Pretty much just throwing this out there of anyone is ever looking for a fishing partner look me up on here. I have always wanted to fish Rend but it has always intimidated me just alittle not knowing it at all and not really having a boat up for the task. Just let me know if anyone is interested I am more than willing to help out on gas costs or anything else that might come up.
Usually once maybe twice a year but it dont usually last long. I was hopin this year it wouldnt at all. Fat chance of that.Quote:
