I am surprised after two days of good cold we still do not have much ice at least around valpo. Checked two lakes this am and both had 3 or less where I checked flint barely had 2 where I checked by the launch.

How thick was the ice at Loomis?

I saw a couple of guys on Long that seemed to be walking all over the North end without a spud. Don't know much more as I didn't get out of the car.

loomis was 2-3"....just in the first area that freezes first....

Hopefully it gets supper cold tonight n freezes up all this rain before it has a chance to honeycomb to much of the ice that was made

Anyone been out or thinking about going this afternoon? Pine in Laporte lost a couple inches of ice since Sunday

mpyromike · « **Reply #40 on:** Jan 29, 2019, 09:39 AM »

I planning on going out after I get off work over at long

Bottom_Bouncer · « **Reply #41 on:** Jan 29, 2019, 10:03 AM »

Sounds good. It’s been awhile since I’ve fished long. Do you head to the power lines or stay around the boat launch? It’s been 2 years but always would do good across from the boat launch in 12ftow around the channel to Canada lake

mpyromike · « **Reply #42 on:** Jan 29, 2019, 10:20 AM »

Half way down towards power lines 18fow do ok on night bite

mpyromike · « **Reply #43 on:** Jan 29, 2019, 10:46 AM »

But tonight I will probably stay closer to launch

Bottom_Bouncer · « **Reply #50 on:** Jan 29, 2019, 06:31 PM »

Ended up going out to Long around 11am - 230. Ice was holding up good. It actually was a great day to get out. Headed toward the power lines. Gills were in 16fow, a foot off the bottom. Only were hitting bright tungsten jigs. Couldn’t even feel the bight, they were sittin an suckin. Saw fish all day and managed to land a dozen decent eaters

CrappieJigger29 · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 29, 2019, 08:23 PM »

Nice one bottom bouncer. N I know it's been a tough bite this year. Git a few food perch on a light bite n crappie as well. Only had 2 smash the lure this year

mpyromike · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 29, 2019, 11:06 PM »

Was out on long for a few hours and only caught a dozen dink crappie they all went back

Millertime122 · « **Reply #53 on:** Feb 01, 2019, 03:19 PM »

Anyone been to Long recently? Planning on heading out late tonight and fishing through the morning. Are they still towing people on the street?

mpyromike · « **Reply #54 on:** Feb 01, 2019, 04:19 PM »
