I’m not sure.  Haven’t checked it yet.  I know as of Monday it wasn’t safe yet.  My father in law had to have a minor heart procedure done, so yesterday and today I’m not able to get out.

Had a great night at work on the 26th, so I thought I'd get out on the first ice before the warm up. I went out about 4:30pm to hit the evening bite. Ice was good. I measured 5.5" in my spot. Clear ice topped with about an inch or so of white ice. Fished in 7ft of water, and was pulling crappie out left and right. Caught 8 crappie, and kept 4. The others were just shy of 9". My keepers were 10", 10.25", 10.5" and 11". I can't make that up. Caught a few small gills and a warmouth. All in all, not a bad way to start my 2022-2023 season.

Slabslayer,

Is there fishable ice on Nimisila. I usually hit East Harbor first but the seiche sucked all the water out of bay.

Thanks

I have about 5 1/2 inches of ice. Fished yesterday, first hole, first drop and bam! The bluegill bite was on! 1 small bass and a few keeper gills. Heading out and fishing all day today. Hopefully get a few more nice gills and maybe some perch to add for a wintertime fish fry.

Thanks all, if anyone hits OSP, please let me know if it’s good.   I can’t go today, but midweek I can head out!
