that sucks! who knows what the ice will be like in 3-5 days haha im gunna be making it up there soon just waiting for SURE ice ya know thanks esox
where does mill creek run south out of? or is that a joke? haha

[esox_magnum]

Mill Creek is the outlet of the IGL's whet comes out of Big Spirit will eventualy make it down Mill Creek on the South side of Milford. Grade and Templar are the best ice but still only 3" guys are on Upper Gar but I measured 2" on Sunday, not ready for my shack yet. CAnals 2"  fish are being caught but my first habd reports are smallish fish only a few borderline keepers. Of course everyones opinion of a keepers different mines 8" min for gills 10 for perch or maybe fat 9.5's 14" for walleye and 10" for crappies. Everything else goes back.

Need a good place to start this year.  Any suggestions for today and tomorrow?

[esox_magnum]

I havent been out since Sunday, best advice I can give is drive around and see where guys are at. Grade I heard is pushing 7", some on Anglers, not ice or fishing reports though. Smiths is cpped surprised nobodys been on it yet. I'll be testing new waters tomarrow staying away from the crowds. I'm in Milford we may run into each other on the ice.

I did pretty good today in 10 fow at Anglers, found a car-sized opening in the weeds and caught a few nice perch. Lot of people out there. Tried The Grade tonight and caught quite a few fish, no nice ones though. Most of Big Spirit has 5+ inches on it now. I fished out from the old footbridge area at dusk. Marked just one fish and packed it up.

Haven't heard of a hot bite yet, but people are catching fish here and there. Gonna give it another go tomorrow!!!!

[esox_magnum]

I do know of a good bite but not my spot so wont be fishing it untill invited. Wife and I will be on Anglers somplace tomarrow, stop by if your out. Cant miss my castle or the Nils laying next to it.

Is spirit getting close to having 4 wheelers on it?

[esox_magnum]

Must be there was a couple on Anglers today as well as a few sleds.

Now that Iam done deer hunting time to go ice fishing. Can't wait to get on the ice. Good luck everyone. Hope everyone has a safe and productive season.

[CrappieBuster]

Enough for a wheelhouse by wednesday? Thinking about coming over for a day and a night maybe another if the fishing is decent.

[BucksNDucks]

are people out in the main basin of big yet? just wonering if anybody is out in 20 fow for perch?

[esox_magnum]

Guys were out off Big Stoney cant comment on ice or bite.

 7" of ice  your call on the permie, there is a small one on Smiths on West. Little to no snow cover good ice but lots of stress cracks and some broken/refroze areas.

[stonecat76]

went to anglers Saturday afternoon saw several smaller perch. Iced a couple perch and a few gills nothing spectacular "You can't catch fish from sittin on the couch"
