I took the girls out this morning. South end got a dusting and the North end may have received an inch or two of new snow overnight. Drag out of Mayville wasn’t bad.

Drag Questions:
Mid-Lake drag yesterday and today has been 8” r so of snow, couple inches of the crunchy stuff on top of slush.

If you’re aiming to hole hop / be mobile , you’ll get your cardio in for the day.

Anyone know if they are going to have the Chautauqua Lake Winter Festival this year?  That ice boat last year the way they drove it among the fishermen was nothing but a nuisance with the loud noise and causing water bounce in the holes.  Got to believe it turned off a lot of fish.

Any recent ice condition reports? Per the Mayville camera it looks pretty slick. Cant tell if its water/slush on top.

Fished the Mayville end out in front of the Marina.  There were large snow patches on the ice when I went out at 7:30 am, but after the rain the snow patches turned into slush patches and pulling flat bottom huts through the slush patches was tough but with a Smitty it was easy.  Perch bite was OK in the morning, but spotty in the afternoon.  Kept (16) perch 8-9"  no 10 inchers today.  Caught a bunch more throw backs.  Ice is 11" with couple inches of slush on top.  Shore ice is good.  Some holes had water running into them after the rain.  Snowmobiles and ATV were moving OK today.

thank you for getting that young man his augers back.  I lost most of my jigging raps last year coming off the ice and it's groups like this that got them back for me.  You got some good karma coming your way

I was out of midway yesterday.  Ice is about 12” out to 30’ off maple springs.  It’s about 3/4 soft white ice...auger goes thru it like there’s nothing there until you got to the bottom of the hole.  The shore ice was real soft/open right there at midway but may be fine elsewhere to get on.  I would say the ice is thick but the quality is decaying real quick with the rain and sun that’s been on it.

Be careful off Dewittville the creek opening is getting bigger and the shore ice is getting bad in spots. One person went in up to waist yesterday night.

ICE WAS FINE EARLY, VERY SLIPPER, USED CREAPERS. AFTERNOON IT WAS SOFT ON THE TOP AND EASILY WALKABLE. A FOOT OF ICE, HALF AND HALF. JUST A LOT OF DINKS DOWN THERE. WATCHED THEM ON MY CAMERA AND NOTHING OF ANY SIZE. TALKED TO A GUY OUT THERE ON MY WAY BACK AND HE HAD SMALL SUNFISH, THROW BACK SIZE.
