Going back to the irish hills this weekend was 6in or better this past weekend. I also think lake erie will survive. Won't be good for it but we won't loose all of the ice only spots with current and in the open. Time will tell only one day of this crap to go!

Nimisla , the warm air and snow melt with warm rain adds up to bad ice if any . Patience is key.

I really praying that Wingfoot will be fishable for the Harvest for Hunger Charity ice fishing event on saturday but its not looking good. Remember that the event is being held ice or no ice so I hope to see everyone out there

May have to continue with the alum tourneys to have some fun on the weekends with this horrible weather.

im not usually a kill joy

but with the current and past trends with our weather it will take a serious deep freeze to restore what we have had twice and lost ...

..hope it gives us one more shot but if it doesnt

break out the boat

sorry guys

If we don't have safe ice next monday i just might take my kayak to charles mills and hit a few stumps or maybe just paddle my fat butt around the lake and see what I can find.

I agree. Hell at least the walleye run is soon and the crappie spawn. Im looking forward to pulling some slabs and eyes into the kayak. I guess I'm just going to have to keep chasin chromers until something else better pops up. Not always a bad deal either haha

Keeping my fingers crossed Nimisila will lock up at C-5 bay.

Me too, that's my favorite place at Nimi on the ice.

I haven't been on Nimi ice since 2011. I want to fish the campground for redears so bad. Even if it locks up good I wonder how the fishing will be. 2nd ice always seems worse then 1st ice. We are going for 3rd ice now. lol. I have never fished 3rd ice so hopefully it will be better then 2nd ice and not worse

I doubt if Grand Lake St MArys wil be fishable this weekend. Yesterday (1-29-2013) the ice was still on pretty good shape but had about 1" of water on top. Any holes will start draining all that water and eroding the ice. Lots of rain last night and warms temps that are still here are definately not hleping the cause. Maybe if the bottom drops out and we get single digit temps will lock things up again. The high winds that are supposed to hit will hurt the remaining ice too.
