I am not seeing any ice making temperatures around here for the next 10 days.
-
My little lake is freezing overnight. Gonna be 50 on saturday. :(
-
Not looking good statewide, I'm pushing 60 & it looks like annual Christmas on Houghton is a bust. Never happened before & been taking that ride for longer than I can remember.
-
Weather is warmer than last year and i never got out on the ice.first time not going in over 35 years..im thinking about selling some of my ice gear hoard.
-
My lake is frozen over!!! Don't buy any bait yet!!
-
Not so much next week, but the following week looks promising.
However, I don't normally put much faith in a 2 week forecast
-
The big lakes around here are open. The small ones are getting busy making ice.

On Sunday, 2 days ago, my little lake was open water. Yesterday afternoon 2 guys were out ice fishing. I can't imagine there is much more than an inch of ice. I watched them until dark, in case I had to call 911. Some people must really like Bluegill.

Fishing on devils 2 days ago

I have to think that most of the lakes in the Irish hill's area will be fishable this weekend.
-
I heard six to eight on most lakes headed out tomorrow with the snow dog wampers
-
i was out last night 6 to 8 for sure.
Good clear hard Ice too.
-
I went Thursday morning. Had good ice. The fishing was very slow. Due to the cold maybe?
-
Fished sat AM, had a flurry that last about 45 minuets ended up with a bakers doz. After that, the fish disappeared.
-
On the ice Fri/sat, Wamplers. Put half dozen in the freezer Friday, catch and release on Sat.
6" of good ice, not including the snow.
Be safe out there !

We got into them pretty good yesterday. 4 of us got probably 40 Gills and 25 Specks. I brought home 8. Smallest to the biggest. 6 feet of water. A foot off the bottom.
