One of those days today.......3 dinks and 2 nice ones. Bite and fish were both almost non existent and Ice is deteriorating quickly. I think tomorrow will be my last day here. Fished all over today from 4-15 feet and not marking hardly anything. What I marked, I enticed to bite, but my normally productive hand over fist spots looked like a nuclear wasteland. It produced one nice bass and nothing else. Drilled all over and a copper tungsten was only thing working, except the bass came on firetiger. Ice was 4-5”, but Top 3 were crap Ice and it was not cracking in a good way and shorelines were getting sloppy as I left. Rain tomorrow afternoon and Thursday with 60 degrees will end it.

Nice catches! Ice conditions are definitely getting strange out there! I saw some stuff at nimi today that I’ve only seen at skeeter and Erie! Shoves and huge wet cracks! Funny thing is those shoves were just little ridges when I went out within 2 hours they turned into huge death traps! No wind it was all the sunshine doing it.

This is the kind of weather ice can lose it's weight holding strength in a hurry,and i am speaking from expierence(a bad one) be extra cautious out there......... :'( :'( :'(

glad you got out and at least hooked fish...and go home dry lol I just packed all my gear for the season I don't think recovery is an option :P ..besides I'm ready for a warm up, after this winter I'm fried. I didn't really get out much this year but beats sittin on the couch .. hey bobber slab and I watched the ice fade on nimi couple years ago while we were out there was fun getting off the ice :P

That was a fun time!! Ice is fading fast and with the forecast I don’t think we’ll get it back. I went yesterday and I’ll post my results. But I think I’m probably done for the year. :'(
