Two short walleye under15" a 16"keeper walleye two northern pike that were between 20 and 24 inches that had chew marks on them where a bigger fish tried to eat them and I didn't have any bait that was between 20 and 24inches so I need bigger bait I guess

No snow on ice. After this rain and warm spell, it will be a slushy mess. You may be better off coming on by Laskys marina. Plowed road all the way to ice. Just don't park and block the road because it is a dead end

Hope this helps.

Ice was good 8-10inches  , seen a few trucks out on it. Got one pike .ice is slick covered in water 1-3 inches of slush. Mostly water

Ill tell you what, i picked up bait at food and fuel a few weeks ago. My buddy left with the bait and put it on his back porch. A week later we lost 1 fish. 1. Needless to say i was pretty impressed.

With this weather and next 2 weeks in 30's and 40's, looks like I'll be dragging the shanty off 

[bigfish1212]

No eyes or northerns today but I found the smallies, jigged up 6 out of one hole through out the day.

They say how much ice?

[fullThrottle]

Around 10 inches -12 around the edge of the lake 8-9 towards the middle about a mile or so out ,didn't go to far past that , after the warm temp that could be different . It went from 3 inches of snow in the morning to 2 inches of water towards the end of the day

Thx man. I was up there today and watched the snow turn to water. You wouldn't catch me driving my truck on 10" of ice!!! That's nuts!!!!!!!'

[Bducey]

Any one know how the ice held up over the last few days? I was at deer island on wednesday and the snow was melting pretty fast. Any info would be great.

[ddiamond]

Still 8-10 in the bays. Just checked shanty. Lot of slush and water on top though.

[o2rmk800]

Calling for sub zero night tonight and below freezing temps till Tuesday. Should button up in a day or 2 and build by the next warm up.

Pretty sure that was us out there, were you on the red quad?  We had an awful day, managed an effin pickerel.  Needless to say there is one less pickerel in the lake.  I told my buddy to take the car, he wanted to take the F350 Diesel.
