MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I got my life jacket and queen size air mattress ready to go for Saturday night .
I will be ice fishing this weekend....
No I don't have a striker suit but I have some whiskey and determination . if the ice breaks below me then it just means I wont have to use my auger .
Anybody out in Barry county? Most lakes I have checked are still locked up, just wondering if anybody is getting out? Two long weekends off of work coming up, would like to get out somewhere.
Ok...time for a report. Got out this morning and this is what I found:Selkirk Lake...3" of good ice...marked a few fish but not a bite.Lake 16...little bit of shore ice but open water rest of the way.Baker Lake...2" of good ice. 2 guys fishing but not doing much so I didn't stay.Duncan Lake...3" of good ice in the bay. Stayed about an hour:marked a few but again, nothing to bring home. 2 other guys with same results."Unnamed" Lake (the one I really wanted to get at) 1" at best...turned around and went home.That's it...if you go out,be safe. Next weekend we should be getting on just about everywhere. Merry Christmas everyone!
I was at Selkirk yesterday morning and almost went swimming in 15 ft of water..its not all 3".lol.water was coming up thru my holes.i weigh 285 tho.lol.be very careful..it must of made a half inch to 3/4 over night.i caught 1 dink gill.
That'd be about right Doc ...tried to kick open a couple of holes from day before and couldn't bust 'em (couple must have been yours). Somebody was there earlier than I was this morning. BTW... I come in at about 165# so I can risk a little more LOL.
