Haven't gotten a chance to look since Sunday, how did the ice hold up with the wind and warm weather? Specifically say Castlewood bay on lake Columbia, if anybody has some input please.

People are fishing everywhere here. Best ice I've seen in a long time. Where are you headed? Good luck

Planning on hitting Devil’s Lake as we are staying right near the Highland Inn. It’ll be our first trip up.

how did you do? we have a cottage just down from highland. Me and my son worked our butts off for thirteen Saterday night, and then sunday morning caught two before wind blew us off.

We won’t get into town until about 6pm on Friday. First trip of the year for us, as Central Indiana barely has skim ice right now. Keepers would be great, but we just hope to have some action on the end of the line!

Heading up to Devil’s Lake/Manitou Beach this Friday for my first trip of the year. Staying right near Highland Inn, but can’t find a bait store near by. Coming up from Central Indiana as we have no [email protected] ice! Not trying to take anyone’s spot, but would appreciate any info on a bait shop that sells licenses as well. Thanks for your help and here’s a picture for tax!

Not super familiar with the area but i know there is knutsons in Brooklyn thats not too far maybe 15-20 minutes and they will have EVERYTHING

Manitou beach marina sells bait, right by the boat launch

SKIFFLAKEJIMMY · « **Reply #44 on:** Jan 19, 2022, 06:47 AM »

If you get into Brooklyn, Knutson's is worth a stop. Poppa's Place is a great place to eat. Also Poppa's Place Dos is on the South side of Devil's. I believe Dos closes at 2. In Brooklyn, at 8.

Mhofferman · « **Reply #45 on:** Jan 19, 2022, 08:47 AM »

Does Manitou Beach Marina sell licenses as well?

Doeslayer · « **Reply #46 on:** Jan 19, 2022, 12:06 PM »

I know a lot of gas stations sell licenses and any big box store like walmart does too....

misterwhipple · « **Reply #47 on:** Jan 19, 2022, 01:04 PM »

Knutson's Sporting Goods
151 Wamplers Lake Rd
Brooklyn, MI 49230

Papa's Place
208 S Main St

Good luck Mhoff. Keep us posted.

Very slow today. 4 of us got 9 keepers in 3 hours. Marked fish constantly. Could't buy a bite. Any body else having the same problem?

Doeslayer · « **Reply #50 on:** Jan 25, 2022, 06:54 PM »

Yeah, we got pinned down by 35mph gusts last Saturday over by Highland Inn. Caught a couple dinks, but the company was good, the Hamm’s were cold, and the heater was toasty! Prolly start hitting NE Indiana this weekend. Cheers!

Come back anytime. It's been slow. A pretty brutal weekend,
it happens
Hope you had fun. A pretty brutal weekend. Next week is looking good. PS.... Hamms?

People drink it on purpose???

The ice is starting to deteriorate here. Looks like the beginning of the end.
