Fished Friday and Saturday from 3pm to 7pm. Had 1 short eye and a couple of perch. The ice wasn't great on Friday and I was by myself so I didn't go to far from the ramp.
Saturday I ventured down the beach a few 100 yards and was rewarded with my first short eye of the season.

Anyone been to the island?

Fishermen · « **Reply #3 on:** Jan 22, 2019, 04:56 PM »

I saw some guys go out to the island but things will change after this rain and warm temps

I was just out this evening, there was a good 6-7”. I didn’t check by the island. But many people were all around it. It was a busy evening flags flying non stop. The wife and son had a blast chasing flags.

I was next to you I got 3 more walleye after you left 1 keeper

NateD · « **Reply #6 on:** Jan 23, 2019, 09:27 AM »

Nice, crazy how fast that made ice, my friend told me 7 inches and I didn't believe it lol. How late do you guys typically stay out there for walleye? Will they bite all night long?

That is good! I will be back at it today before the rain. How late did you end up staying?

Thinking about tonight....walter can be hungry before rain.

Wounding if Gardner's is fishable how bad it maybe or if you can get on

wrx2017 · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 25, 2019, 08:28 AM »

Heard report it was 15 feet of water between the shore and ice. I was planning on checking it out this evening, but not planning on fishing it until mid next week when temps lock things up again.

I would go check it yourself, 15 ft of water is a lot. It had 7-8 inches that doesn't just disappear.

Fishermen · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 25, 2019, 11:08 AM »

Always do working late this time

wrx2017 · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 25, 2019, 02:58 PM »

I just checked it out, ice was 4-5” thick. Takes a bit of jumping to get onto the main sheet from the beach, or you can jump from off the end of the dock.

hardfloor · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 25, 2019, 03:15 PM »

That's more like what I was expecting.

Poco+loco · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 25, 2019, 03:25 PM »

whole place Locked up with 4'' Ice. Edges sketchy need planks.

Fishermen · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 25, 2019, 04:17 PM »

I was already at Gardner's and I do plan on leaving planks going off of the dock tomorrow if anybody is interested in using them and oh yeah if you shall fall and get hurt that is your fault not mine just saying

cutler331 · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 25, 2019, 08:06 PM »

What time are you going to be there??? I just re-rigged everything for Mr. Walter. I will b wearing blue. Thanks for the plank and no I won’t blame u for falling lol.

Fishermen · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 26, 2019, 02:28 AM »

Just before 7

hooper22 · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 26, 2019, 09:07 PM »

Anyone go there today, wanted to go in the morning but its a 45-minute ride. I was hoping to get a report on ice conditions.

earlyrise · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 30, 2019, 05:55 AM »

Just stopped by yesterday around 10:30am ice looked to be about 4 inch there was a guy out about 100yards fishing to right of launch

wrx2017 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 30, 2019, 07:08 PM »

It was brutal out there this evening. But the ice was solid 5”. The edges are still thin, so use the planks at the end of the dock for getting on the ice.

bugchazer · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 31, 2019, 08:37 AM »

will be out there friday nite with octane and my nephew and friend. should be a good nite

octanehi5 · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 31, 2019, 09:55 AM »

it will make ice all day today and into the next two days.Tip of the day dress in warm layers,For us old timers bring Shanty

wrx2017 · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 31, 2019, 10:25 AM »

For temps like these, everyone young to old should have some kind of shelter to get warm in with a heat source.

Ravo Himself · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 31, 2019, 10:32 AM »

While we're on the topic, I feel like checking for ice safety is even more important with this weather. Even getting a leg wet could mean a trip to the hospital. With these temps wet clothes can freeze solid within 5 minutes

eiderz · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 31, 2019, 11:27 AM »

Yup, this cold can become dangerous quick. Shelter and heat is a must.

Need to take mom to the Dr. this afternoon, assuming it doesn't take too long it's off to the lake before dark. Walter is in there, I hear them calling.
