Not a lot of pressure on the local lakes up here compared to a few weeks ago, either.  Seems to still be a good number of fishermen on the big water spots, though...

the bite has been bad for all of us in our neck of the woods fishing small and or private lakes. with 60 next week we will be hitting it hard til monday at the latest. the ice is severely honeycombed and will rot super fast and you don't want to be on it when it happens. will make for a poor late ice bite.

I've been out in Livingston co, and been hitting the bay a Little bit. Used to fish Hillsdale co, branch co, and the hills alot a few years ago when I lived in nw Ohio.
Funniest thing about ice fishing for me is when people who know nothing about ice activities try to warn me about the dangers of the ice...

I'm still fishing Almost everyday out of my perm. Plan on bringing it to shore this weekend. Supposed to be off the ice March 1st anyhow. Time to tap some maples. Warmup and maybe do some bucket sitting. Still 10" of good ice.

We were out in Washtenaw today and will get out every day we can till the ice goes. Today 9" of ice. The bite could have been better, but no complaints. One 13" crappie and 28 gills including about four around 9".

I didn't make it out over the weekend. I have open water in front of the house. It is looking like I am done. But no complaints here. I am pretty sure I have never been able to fish till the second week of March like I did this year. Good times. Good friends. Good wife. Good meals. Thank you Lord for thinking about me. And all of us.
