dont look good pc been pouring here not far from lake

If your not far from the lake maybe you can swing by after work on Friday and check Perry Public Beach and Standpipe shore ice and post. Let us know if a plank would work. No sense driving 35 miles one way on Sat if shore ice is really shot. Thanks in advance.

Found out today that a buddy of mine went out of Perry Public Beach Thurs late morning through mid afternoon and told me he step right on to the ice and the main ice was still good about 8" but getting soft on top 2". He kept 15 perch. I'm going in the morning and will post when I get home if I get out or not. Hope to fish all day.

Went to Northeast side this morning. Standpipe Rd has 6' of open water at the shore not accessible. Perry Public Beach has 2' of open water at the shore. Laid a 10' plank across to the ice and the 1st 3' of ice the bar went through with 2 hits. Main ice does look good but getting to it for me was unsafe. By the end of the day the shore ice may have been so bad even with the plank I may not have been able to get off. Pulled the plank and went home. 40 years ago I would have taken the chance. Over all it was a good year for perch on Silver.

does anyone know if the ice is off the lake yet?

North and south end are clear. Ice from around red garage to just south of the country club as of 4/5.

Just received my perch bait today, Mousees and white / pink Spikes. I am ready but the lake is not. Maybe after X-mas or before New Years.

Mine are on the way too. Speedyworm spikes. Can’t wait for ice! Gear has been ready for weeks.

What's the status of the lake at the moment?

pikemaster0607 · « **Reply #311 on:** Dec 13, 2018, 07:58 PM »

Wide open

Second that. It had a light skim on the South end and along the shoreline a week or so back but that didn't last. The water is the right temp to make ice if the freezing temps get here and stay in the teens for a week.

Is the "Hole in the Wall" restaurant a decent place to go after being out on the ice with the kids? I can't tell from the website if it is a true hole in the wall gin mill or if it's a fancy place on the lake.

Mack's is the place to go.

I do enjoy a tube steak....

I second macks!

wnybassman · « **Reply #316 on:** Jan 14, 2019, 05:14 PM »

As far as I know Mack's is still not open yet. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though.

waltman · « **Reply #317 on:** Jan 14, 2019, 05:22 PM »

tried to call mac's today phone not in service

buckskinner14530 · « **Reply #318 on:** Jan 14, 2019, 06:45 PM »

macks is still closed. would eat at little restaurant in town perry just past napa good food good price. kid friendly too.

Scooby31 · « **Reply #319 on:** Jan 14, 2019, 07:40 PM »

I think Mack’s is closed down permanently.

BlueSnow · « **Reply #320 on:** Jan 14, 2019, 07:45 PM »

I don't feel too bad hijacking this thread for food as there isn't much ice activity yet. Back to the Hole in the wall - is it worth a visit?

Scooby31 · « **Reply #321 on:** Jan 14, 2019, 07:52 PM »

Food is good. They do have wood fire pizzas, burgers,wings. But it’s is a fine dinning restaurant.

Riddlefiddle · « **Reply #322 on:** Jan 14, 2019, 09:09 PM »

I didn't know that Max's was closed.😟

waltman · « **Reply #323 on:** Jan 14, 2019, 10:06 PM »

used to fish silver years ago with my dad, we always did really well with the pike there.. I have heard from several people that the fish numbers are way down and the fishing isn't what it used to be. true or false?

mpsilverlake · « **Reply #325 on:** Jan 15, 2019, 03:55 AM »

I’m on this lake all year and yes the fishing for me anyhow has slowed way down. I am by far no expert though. This summer the hits and size of perch and bluegill were getting better. (Hand fillers). Fingers crossed for a better year. Still going after the elusive walleye. Marked a few on the east side north of Mack’s but couldn’t get a strike. Anxious to try through the ice.

If Mack's is still closed "the Hole" would have been my go to. They've positioned themselves from being a great local diner to a fine dining type restaurant but the food is good, the staff is nice, and it's close. The Lumber Yard is an option as well but also fine dining style. Darryl's is close for pizza, wings, subs. I never cared for the place by NAPA for a variety of reasons but opinions vary. If by chance you're headed west, Laurie's in Warsaw will make everyone smile. There is also Pizza Depot in Silver Springs and Al's Pizza in Castile both a couple minutes from the state launch. I can recommend their food. Mack's had a flood a few months ago and was struggling to get back in operation. They were still closed my last trip by at the end of deer season. Haven't seen anything on their FB page either. May have lost the battle?? Didn't realize how often I stopped by there till they were closed..........

Since its closed is parking in that area still allowed? I have not been to silver in 4-5 years and have heard parking at the state lot has changed. What is the updated parking situation for the south end?

jimo1982 · « **Reply #328 on:** Jan 15, 2019, 11:09 AM »

The only thing that has changed at the state lot is it costs $5 now year round. They have a pay machine and they do check. Still a great deal for a nice plowed lot and a clean, heated bathroom!
