I have never fished bashan on ice but I would be careful, the launch area is running water....make sure it is good and frozen or you might end up wet and cold in waist deep water. I would imagine the fishing would be fairly productive from the launch to the island. I would set up as many tip-ups as you can (5) + use one rod to jig.

Bashan usually takes longer than the surrounding lakes and ponds to freeze up. I think it's depth, size and wind make it take longer to freeze compared to Moodus Res, Hayward, and Babcock. The middle takes a long time to freeze, don't be fooled into thinking its safe just because you see people in the coves.
