Please need update on conditions and fish catch
-
I just got a call from Wes Ballerd wanting a good ice report. Had 3.330 avg yesterday, and 2.890 today keep in mind the snow pack on top of the ice isn't real ice. I was out for a few hours yesterday and the ice started sagging. stay safe!

Sounds like we'll be in the money next weekend. Whats everyone elses thoughts?
-
That Sucks! I was planning on coming up tomorrow :'( maybe by Sunday it will freeze enough to get out safely. Can I ask what area you were in?
-
I will wait until next weekend. Hate to drive 60 miles to be disappointed.

Funny that bait shops are still claiming 5-7" its almost like they want your $ or something!

Ill add to this- I called pro bass this morning I asked if people made it out. " Oh ya their all out there" What did the rain do to the ice? "didnt touch it"
They have specifically said 7in in protected areas, and 2-4 in open lake.... Guys I hate to knock something but Talk to a friend, and a reliable source, because these numbers dont match what walleyeguy or wes or ryan or several others ive spoken with..
-
fished it thursday, when things were warming, and thickest i found was 3.5 to 4 inches?? not sure what they are saying, warm and raining yesterday, , be carefull.
-
Has anyone been by to check the ice after the rain yesterday?
-
Almost all bait shops get their info via , word of mouth. So if they're reporting 7" it's because someone went in there and gave the false info, I know for a fact several guys will give them wrong info as to how many and the size just to keep outta town people from fishing in THEIR area so take what they give you with a grain of salt just like this site, you'd hope everyone gave accurate info but it ain't so
-
If Lake side bass pro told you false information its because someone told them the ice conditions ;D. The family that owns it are great people and family friends
-
Sorry battery died. but 2.25-2.5 just about everywhere this is from the 1st pull off @ long Island
-
There are a few people at the bridge area of long island. I'm not going to take the chance today. I don't have ones made of steel. I will be back tomorrow to try my luck.
-
@ 10:30 I didn't see anyone

Unfortunately this is false information and for whoever calls the shop should beware. A- its wrong, b- if you have a drive you would be extremely disappointed.

They were parked right near the bridge on the right. I think the one shanty was a blade runner not to far out. Then two out farther by the island one outside and one in a flip. Talked to two other guys that were trying to decide whether to try. The one went out after he checked other areas. Stopped back after killing time at Mikes and talked to the guy that didn't go out for a while. Gave him a few spring bobbers since he was just getting into it. I will be out there tomorrow with my grandson and son in law. Going to use the spud bar all the way out.
-
Ill be out tomorrow around the north fork area. Ill be traveling light this time around. (Spud, spikes, rope with float, and minimal fishing gear)The flip-over will still be sitting at home. Hopefully I'll find some adequate ice. Measurements and pics to follow..... ;)
-
The ice was fine at long island. I've fished there all week with no problems. Biggest problem is only small fish besides one real nice gill. I'm sure there's plenty of unsafe ice out there so be careful wherever you go.
-
We went out by the bridge today. There is two spots along the bank with open water so be careful. We had a great day even though we didn't catch any. Took my son in law for his first time. The wind made it tough to be mobile both places I cut holes was 4".
-
I tried the Nature Preserve first and found out it was extremely spotty ice. It was anywhere from 3 inches to a 1 1/2 in places. I couldn't get to my go to spot, so I hit up Long Island instead (first pull off). The ice was good and the fishing was good. At first it was a struggle to find the fish, but once I did it was bite after bite. I ended up with 5 nice gills, but like everyone else I had to weed through the dinks. Also caught a dink bonus perch. LOL I was going to post measurement of the ice, but by this time tomorrow the ice at the nature preserve should be good too. (As always check your own ice, make your best judgement, and be safe)

The very low temperatures in the early part of the week followed by averages below freezing should help us get out next weekend.......I intentionally stayed in this weekend as 3" - 4" is no good for me.
