Made a trip to the head of the bay between L'anse and Baraga today (out from the Willow trees). Ice is 6-9 inches solid. That was straight out from the willows about 3/10th's of a mile out from shore. That is as far out as I went. There is very little snow and no slush on the bay at that location. The bite was very slow from the people I talked to (I did not fish). I talked to seven fishermen, all of whom got skunked today.
