MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I am sure they will be fishing off the Beulah Beach by the weekend. Hopefully the wind stays fairly calm and the rest of the lake can get locked up. Looked at some pics yesterday from last year and we put 4 Lakers on 4-6 inches of ice off north shore on the 20th so we are a little behind, and I am itching to go, but only on good ice.
Where do you access on the north side? I always park off Lobb road and fish the south side of Crystal.
They have multiple public accesses around the lake:On the Northwest is Esplanade Ct. and Marquette Ct.On the Northeast is Nichols Rd. and Alden St.On the west side is the boat launch off Mollineaux rd. and Bellows ParkOf course on the south end is the public beach.These are just a few of public access available.Most of them are posted with a "Public Access" sign, a few are not.They are not listed on maps, they can be difficult to find, and are easy to drive byTake a ride around the entire lake if you get the time.It's a nice drive and you will be surprised at all the access points available to the public.Good Luck all
Joe, I have driven around the lake many times and have been fishing benzie county for over 15 years. Your directions are a bit confusing.the public beach in beulah is at the far east end of the lake. The boat launch that I think you are talking about is on the eastern half of the south side of the lake. I'm not trying to pick a fight, just trying to help people who might not know the area. I haven't been able to find a decent place to park on the north side of crystal.
I don't have much info but know someone that was over 130 fow off the south shore around Lobb and were on 4" Saturday. It is getting hammered with snow today and wind today, hopefully the wind keeps the snow blown off.
Has anyone did well in the bay on east end right out in front of beaulah ? 20-30 FOW?
