Can't wait until the ice goes out so I can go to my favorite spot to hammer the spawning jumbos.  I caught my limit of these last year

5" of heavy slush/snow on top of 8" of ice today.  South winds kind of a pain.  Went out in the AM, done for the day.  Windy and damp, hard walking.  Not a whole lot of fun.  I'm ready to put the boat in

Are people still using wheelers to get around?  Is it ok to get on the lake at Bakers with a wheeler?   Thanks

I didn't see any.  I would bet that the soreline over there is getting beat.  THere is good ice once you get out though, I'd say use your judgement

just left their. It was a sloppy mess.ice was about 8inches were we were.  not a bad drag but a little rough with all the slush. Saw one wheeler come out of bakers . Had 2 guys on it  and all i could hear them say is man i am soaked. Fishing was ok. Lots of dinks and tip up perch, but no real keepers. Biggest yellow was just about 8".  fished from 7:00 til 11.30 and from 8 fow to 29fow. dinks were aggressive but the bigger one were real picky.  had a good time. saw alot og guys on youngs lake on way back. hope they had better luck than we did.

icerookie26, that perch that floatman is holding is very old and was in the lake before they built the sewage treatment plant , must have had plenty to eat .

OK promised a report and it was all dinks today. There was 5 of us and we had agood time we just circled the shelters and ate chili dogs and bulled while catching many dinks. We had a 10yr old Daniel with us and he was atrip with his pole and jig showing us how we should b fishing, lol then he got bored and told me we should be using perch eyes so he tried that and then after no fish he decided it was agood idea to try apiece of bread on his hook, it was hilarious to watch him, typical 10yr old and he was alot of fun, oh and he was in my shanty because he said his dad was to cheap to buy a heater buddy lmao just to funny and agood way to end the day with the next generation of hardwater fishermen

good to spread the sport Kowboy.  Lot less guys on the lake today huh?  I don't mind having a little less pressure on "my" lake!  Melting snow and increasing cut outs from the inlets mean we'll be losing shoreline ice real soon.  I'm ready to put my boat in, to heck with the ice!

Ya this sun/wind\rain combo will wreck the shallow ice real fast.  Can't say that i'm sorry though, I had a great season on the ice, caught over 500 perch (counted), with about 450 of them less than 8"!  Did end up with some real nice pickerel, fallfish, one walleye (6"), a 1.5 lb lmb and my fish of the season, a 19.5" 5lb lmb.  did not get the trout I've always wanted, even with the advice of Kowboy, but i suppose thats what spring fishing is for.  see you guys on the water - i'll be on the softwater boards reporting conditions and catches under the same name, feel free to get ahold of me for info or to schedule a teamwork trip

i imagine that the tigers wont target the little perch as much with all the nice juicy easy to eat alewifes swimming around. once they chew them up enough the dinks are on the menu in my opinion
