Even if it’s right around freezing, the days are longer and sun is stronger. The snow still melts and the ice gets soft.

Pilots Knob. The conditions are ok, just beware, especially around the weep holes. The ice is getting pretty soft...in a hurry. I fished from in front of the beach 80-100 fow down past Phelps Island. No luck with the Lakers...had a few chasers in the AM, nothing in the afternoon. Moved in and grabbed some perch for dinner, bite was good.

Plan on getting out Monday. Probably try Hearthstone or near the village.

It sure can't hurt. This time of year it's not about how high the temperature gets, it's about how long each day is above freezing.

This time of year I bring my floaties.

Just would like to thank the guy in the red UTV pulling the eskimo flip over shanty for hitting my tipup today off MDB. I watched you turn your head after slamming into it. The least you could do was stop and apologize. These things aren't cheap.

Great video just posted on this guys YouTube Channel. He's fishing with a stick on LG for perch vs. his wife. Funny stuff.

When you're shaped like I am you always have your floaties.

Lakers tomorrow?

Rather-B-Fishin · « **Reply #10153 on:** Mar 16, 2019, 06:37 PM »

Was thinking of hitting vet tomorrow for access to hike out for lakers one last time...any updates on conditions would be very much appreciated

iceplank · « **Reply #10154 on:** Mar 16, 2019, 06:44 PM »

I measured 17 inches over 42 feet Thursday and I was about 30 yards from 55 feet of water . I plan on going tomorrow am. Worst case, the shore coulld,be shaky but once on I would have no worries .gonna be 21 degrees tonight .

Rather-B-Fishin · « **Reply #10155 on:** Mar 16, 2019, 06:50 PM »

that lake is funny...was there 2 weeks ago and a less popular access already had a significant open water that could have used a plank...and the deeper you go the thinner the ice, which is normal, just deceiving on George because the bays free sooner...appreciate the feedback and have a safe day out there!

tee149 · « **Reply #10156 on:** Mar 16, 2019, 07:07 PM »

Went out of pilot's today easy 14" of ice...Lakers were very finicky today bunch of chasers only 3 shorts....ice conditions were surprisingly better than I expected...might get another weekend if temps at night keep below freezing

misha · « **Reply #10157 on:** Mar 16, 2019, 07:58 PM »

Were people still leaving their trucks on ice at pilots today?

pretty sure we met you today. same report from us. lots of chasers no takers. ice was sketchy in the AM so I can definitely see why people said it was deteriorating. The cold and wind today locked it all up, though. No trucks on the ice. Given what I saw, I wouldn’t try. Spoke to several others who fished various parts of the lake and all said it was very slow.

tee149 · « **Reply #10159 on:** Mar 16, 2019, 09:01 PM »

JneedsNy, yeah it was me...nice meeting you guys... I agree would definitely not try any trucks....let me know if you guys are gonna go up again, I may try to get up again if weather cooperates

Bixby had a huge wet ridge between the bubblers on Monday
You may have planked it then but I can’t imagine it faired well Thursday’s Friday

Weather this week will do a number on that nude ice!

Fish had a bad case of lockjaw all weekend.

jflood · « **Reply #10167 on:** Mar 17, 2019, 08:30 PM »

Very slow day on pilot knob. Chasers and no takers. About 14 inches of ice

Last sunday 31 degree water 1' under this ice. This past Sunday 35.47. She's warming up.

It's going to go quick. Last Friday it rained moderate to downpour for 1 1/2 hours. Lot of standing water got absorbed into the ice in 2 hours after. Soft and air filled...note that the 6" of black ice underneath was compromised 5
-6 weeks ago with a warm spell as well.
Hoping for one last stab at em this weekend. I can't go out with a bunch of lazy chasers like this past weekend.
