is that a public access spot or private?

my source said 2.5"-3" and extremely variable ice.   surprised no one is out there on plywood sheets like some years.

I was one of those guys, along with BIGJIM223.  Had a good day, although much slow time, but darn if that sun wasn't feelin good!  Ice was 3-4" of softish ice, may times the spud went through on the first hit.  But we all stayed dry so...     Perch bite picked up at sunset.

What was the GPS numbers for that spot we fished today? Some nice perch in there! LOL!
  Seriously, it was a great day out there. The ice was a bit thin for me, but nobody got wet! Some nice perch were caught along with the usual dinks. It was good to get out and wet a line again!

PS
Did you and Bob get anything after I left on the evening bite? Let me know.

Flanny was there with us settin up for 'eyes.  Didnt seem like he got any.  I'll be out on the east side sat sun and mon, you're welcome to check it out.   Biggest perch on wed was exactly 12" and .93 lbs, and was swelled up like a behemoth.  made the 10" perch look like shiners.

I'll bet there aint much ice left now after 24 hours of rain and temps just below 40 degree's. All I have to say you guys are nuts for even fishing that place with 3" of ice. More power to you.

It's not for everyone.  but to me 3" is plenty of ice if you know the lake.  I'm on that lake 200 days each year, so I have a pretty good idea when + where's safe.  On conditions like that, I'm not running all over the lake, just sticking to the bays I know are solid.  I'll be out there first thing tomorrow morn, hope there's not too much slush on the ice.

Nice job, where'd you fish?  I was on the east side, north of the island today.  4-5" of hard clear ice, with another 2" of frozen slush ice on top of that, all very hard.  Will have my sled out there this weekend.  Put over 100 perch on the ice, with many in the 8-9" range, several over 10.  Also had two pickerel, a fat 18"+13".  All in all, despite the gusty NW wind, a great day.  Will be out tomorrow braving the cold!

BigZin, I was one of those crazies.  I fish about a mile south of the lake house.  Been there all my life, never really called any part of it the back side, but if I were to, it'd be the far south end.  Maybe someone else would call the back side the east side, since its the opposite side from the boat launch/bakers beach?

You can park at the boat launch, which is on the west side of the lake, on rt 28.  There is decent fishing right off of that, in weeds in 5-15 ft then the deep basin in 35 ft which I never found productive.  South of the boat launch ( 1/2 mi by ice) is hyder creek  and a very productive point.  Bakers Beach is located on 28 also, about 1 mile north of the launch.  From there it is a 1/4 mi walk straight out to the sunken island, which is about 5 ft. deep surrounded by a steep dropping 35 ft.  Good spot.  Across the lake, you can gain access by parking across from the lake house walking between lake properties.  Also, a mile past that is Walnut Grove Rd., a seasonal road that people park at and walk down to the lake between camps.  The lake has a lot of fish, but gets devastating pressure, so, not to preach, but I encourage C+R/moderate keep rates whenever I can.

I live about 25 minutes from the lake and right now we are sitting at 9 below zero. So I bet good ice is being made on the lake today.

Oh ya plenty cold.  I'm waiting till about 11 to go out, the sun'll be in the south sky then and the middle of the lake will warm up enough to fish comfortably.

BigZin, I appreciate your discretion as a sport fisherman, I am the same way.  Best of luck out there.
