Well It looks like the whole lake Froze over last night. I walked out a little ways from the day sail ramp at metro. If you go out take a SPUD the stuff I was walking on was 2 to 3inches thick.

Now for those wonderful pics!!!

Keep us posted when its safe and the fish are biting.

I am sure we can get a group of 10 or so who would come up to the store if you can lead us in the right direction.

Ok I did some driving around this morning and this what I saw. The bay out from Gino's and Metro Froze over really good last night. There is still some pockets of open water but those are getting smaller all morning. If this ice can stay locked in, and with these cold temps we could fishing out there really soon.

I would not be shocked to see guys not he spillway anyday now. Before it iced up guys did get some nice pike and walleye from it.Now for the pics!!!!!:D

Spillway


A customer brought this up he said it came off the spillway. I would use extreme caution on there right now there was some open areas just yesterday afternoon.

The guys that are getting out have all report some very good catches of Gills and Sunnies with crappie mixed in. Perch have started to show up also.
