Anyone think Whitney will be fishable by the weekend?

I posted on the conditions page, about a third of the lake had a skim on Monday.  I will not get a chance to look again until Friday.

From what I heard heard it's very inconsistent thickness Max I heard yesterday was 3 inches I am heading there in an hour hopefully the fish are hungry that place really shut down mid winter last year it can be a very frustrating place for sure

It is very inconsistent. I would not go out there without a spud. I was fishing on 5 inches, walk 20ft either side and only have 1-2 inches. Had 1 spot where the spud went through on 1 wack and did not even wack it that hard. Be careful if you go out next couple days! Tight lines

the wind went just about every direction Sunday morning. It would be calm then out of no where it was like someone tried to tackle my shanty.
I saw a sign getting of 81 that said there is a bait shot 10 miles south down 26, anyone have any intel on that? I think it was 442 Ashley rd? I didnt get a great look at the sign tho

Go north on 26 past Dorchester Park to the little village of Willet. Go straight through the intersection and the bait shop is just a ways up on the left..Anglers Bait and Tackle
