Even if we get extreme cold, the ice that’s out there is still junk.
100% junk! It's the kind of ice you don't like to walk on when it's above freezing at all.There is a cool down coming. Be interesting to see if the junk holds on for another month.I wonder how many fish this weather has saved.
In a perfect world…a complete meltdown with some arctic cold for a week would give us good chance of seeing a month of good ice. It’s been a strange winter!!!! If the perch are, where I hope they’ll be, at ice out, they don’t stand a chance!!🎣😈
Remember fellas black ice at the end is not your friend ,be very cautious, I’ve stuffed my spud through 9” of that stuff , plus as the water warms from the streams and rivers it will melt at both ends
When you target perch at ice out do you use live bait or jigs and lures? I’ve seen people use fat heads under floats but never tried it.Goose
Boats!?!? Yeah good luck with that. Next week or so is not looking good and I won’t touch that lake with a 10’ rod but I’m not giving up all hope. I think there is still a chance of walkable ice the first 2 weeks of March. It’s worst case scenario not safe to icefish but not safe to boat fish either lol. Should make for a good May either way I guess
just checked ice 50 yrds out was 4 to 5in one medium hit with spud right thru soft as warm butter its shot imo guys,,,, i would go else where
That’s too bad. Wonder if the cold next week will stiffen it up enough or if it’s just so rotten that it won’t be good for walking for the rest of the season. Appreciate the update. Maybe get out on the kayak open water this weekend.
ill be suprised if majority of its not gone by tmrw afternoon but maybe not
WHY???🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
For the "likes" Larry.
Friend said airboats headed out for another one. Really Hope it’s rescue verses recovery like Champlain had recently
