Title: Indian Conditions 12/29
Post by: eyeon2 on December 30, 2013, 09:04:05 AM
Drove the entire lake. Still a bit high, but about 70% of main lake still has some ice. Blawkhawk, Pony / Long still locked in but not safe. About 1 - 1.5 of soft ice everwhere. A bit muddy, but cleaning up. Reserve channels appeared to be much cleaner which is typical. Open muddy water from North Fork all the way past Dream.
Normal panfish areas should be good by weekend. Saugeye humps and bumps may be a bit iffy unless we get into single digits.

The next ten days looks good for packing some ice on. Single digit temp and even temps below zero.

On ice this am in my channel. 2 inches clear and hard ice. On issue is that gills I found were about the same size. Will be able to go about anywhere by Thursday with 0 degrees tomorrow.

I was out yesterday with my dad. We drove to the nature preserve and it only had 1 inch of ice. Then we went to blackhawk and saw a lot of open water. Ended up going to Long island to the first pull off and found 3 inches of solid ice to fish. We only fished 2 hours (9am-11am) and caught 5 nice gills. We missed probably a dozen more including a GIANT crappie. The ice was popping a lot, which means ice is growing. It freaked my dad out though. FYI The Game Warden stopped out and checked our license and also our buckets. So make sure you have everything in order. Safe fishing everyone. Maxdad

Fishintechnician,
CRV and I are looking to go on Friday and you can ride with us if we can get everything in his truck. The more the merrier and easier on the wallet.
PM with your phone number and we can set it up.
