Was thinking the same thing. Would love a little panfish competition. Never fished lake Fenton. What species is there to target?

You can register at the moose the day of between 6 and 7:45. following that will be a rules meeting. fishing starts at 8 ends at 5 with activities at 5:30 at moose lodge. HOWEVER.... there is a new DNR officer in the area that wants a permit to be pulled for a tournament. same guy is aldo trying to shutdown lobdell lake chili cook off.
as for the ice... i went out on mon and had 8 - 10" . now there is open water on NE end and jyst SW of the moose lodge which will pose a problem getting to the moose from the ice.
100 yrds from open water had a good 8". today in same spot had 7.5".
will be checking ice on thurs and fri and reporting it to Dave at the moose. fisherman may be able to access moose lodge launch if we stay on the east shorline. if we have to cut across lake from the west a good spot would be just north of Case island. definetly do not try and fish north end pass the moose and sailing club..
will update this post when i get more info.
fingers crossed - Joe

Well as for the tournament permits they are available on line for anyone having a tournament in the state ... It's not like its a secret or anything  So the moose doesn't have a permit I take it?

Are there any places to hop on the ice at lake Fenton other than the boat launch?

I did not go to the launch. I was just wondering if there are other places to get on the lake. I want to go on Friday evening but don't want to walk a mile to the spots I want to fish on the lake.

Unfortunately only the 1 public launch and the Moose lodge. I'm guessing for tournament they will let you on there. Unless you are member of sail club I don't now of any other places to get on.

Not sure about the ice, don't make it over there much anymore.  but there are most definitely more places to access that lake besides the Moose and boat launch.  Just have to drive around and look.  Be safe boys.

you can get on cranes cove by parking down the road on lahring rd and walking back to cranes cove and enter the  lake just to the south of the big fence...that is the hot spot so far this year anyways...you will have to walk about 1/4 of a mile on lahring to get back to the lake so pack lite.. ;D
