I fished Black this weekend. The bite was slow but still managed a nice bass and some decent perch. Lots of small ones though. The ice is good in the Bays and on most of the lake. 10+ in some spots and it has been cold at night up there so it will only get better. Some people were having better luck than me though so I say give it a shot. It is beautiful up there besides i will e going back soon.

I'm headed to Black Lake on Thursday.  First time there on the ice.  I heard Rollaway Bay is good black to access it.  Any other suggestions?

believe it was rollaway bay.caught some fish but only
managed one pike over 30 inches.heard of thunder bay,
thats supposed to be good fishing.lots of luck
and let us know how you made out.

Well, I went to Black Lake on Thursday, but I decided not to fish there.  I drove around that place for a long time, and it seems like there's about 1000 different bays, points, inlets, and outlets.  talked to a few people, but they said things were slow.  (probably not sharing the good info)  everyone talks about Mile Arm Bay, but I read somewhere that there are only two access roads and they are both private.  I really didn't have a clue where to try, so I shot over to Goose Bay.  nothing much happening as far as perch, but I landed 3 pike between 25" and 29".  there was about 10 1/2" of ice, but the top 3" was soft.  I'll check out Black Lake when there's more ice, and on the weekend when there are more fishermen around.
