Yes...but not very far/very deep yet.  Perch & pike guys only I would assume.  Gonna need some serious cold weather for a couple more weeks w/ minimal snow to get it ready to get to the walleye grounds...where I go is 6.5 miles off shore.

First day on site...and first reply

TV5 cam showed a guy at entry to last Yacht Club. Just north of DNR launch.
It was open water on Friday, so he's not sitting on much but he is out there.

Some ice on the east side and guys were perching, out of Sebawaing.
Q-see river is frozen over. and with cold temps Saginaw should be as well....just a matter of it getting thick enough
to venture out.

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...

Id be a little weary for the next week.... Thing ice on the bay spells disaster... Another week or so it should be ok to head to perch infested waters

Guys are getting out to Wild Fowl. Saw on different site.

But N winds today blew lots of the Bay to shreds. And weekend calling for with D's in 20mph again.

Let's hope their wrong or Bay gonna be weeks away unless can find spot in the shallows.
