Is anyone pulling there shacks off early because of the weather ??

[tfm00]

Think we will this weekend.  Worried with lack of snow on the ice about sinking into the ice and freezing.  Not worried about the ice, more freezing in.

Is there really that little snow on the lake?

Slow on Saturday on the north west end. Out 2:00pm to 8:00pm. Three pike beteeen six of us and no burbot which we were going for. Mixture of minnows and smelts in 7-14 feet depths.

Needed the extension ice is thick. Snow has compacted with the thaw hope to try next weekend end maybe burbot will be more active.slushy and mess near the launch by end of day still not bad. Any luck with burbot message me.

Anyone out lately, what's the launch like still ok to get on and off?

Burbot bite on yet, last weekend was not.

Was on Saturday until 2:00. Lots of trucks on the ice. Took the entire flighting to drill holes. Little surface water, ice is water saturated and softer drilling. Definitely doesn't have the same strength melting fast so will be our last day out. Getting on the lake was soft rutted and some pooling water. Still several shacks on.

Fishing very poor not even a bit in 4 hours fished mostly 10 feet. Tried 20 feet to 3 feet depth. Spoke to 4 other groups and pike activity was light to nil. No burbot was surprised. March was slow.
