;)wanted to give all an update of ice cod. And bite! Was out sat., Sun, and today. Saturday crack just out of Catawba was open about 1-2 feet. Ice was soft and about 6". No ATVs crossed, snowmobiles shot across ok. So we decided to go out of camp perry! Ice was good, but there is a pressure ridge/ shove about 1.5 miles straight out, 20-21'depth. It was closed tight and guys where crossing it ok! About 30-40 shanteys ,wind was stronge from west so we did,nt cross, fished 100 yards from crake. Bite was slow til around 1, then picked up! 2 limits of nice eyes, mixed lbs. 2-10. Sat.- sun. Monday bite was at day lite, limited buy 10 am. Wind was 25-30 west! Ice 14-17 ". No snow,on ice, just crunchy on top! Talked to several guys, some did better, but spotty! Some out of crane creek, 6-7 miles out bite good to fair! Even talked to a group a going out to west sister,8 miles out! Said bite was fantastic, limited in about 1- 1 1/2 hours, BIG fish 10s and couple12s . Spoons, do jiggers. Also report was crake closed up at Catawba Sunday, but wind was really pushing today, so not sure about that!!! OPEN WATER from mouse to Marblehead!!!!!!! But ice cutter tue. May ruin all of this!!!!! BE SAFE! And Go home to love ones!!! Those damn walleye make a guy do crazy shit !!!!hope this helps !!
