Going to head to sebago tomorrow for the first time this season. Just wondering how thick the ice is all over the lake because we would like to take the snowmobiles. Just currious to where we can go safely on them. Would like to fish the big bay but not sure of the ice yet. We are not worried about slush or anything are sleds can handle that. Thanks in advance.

I am also curious about the snow. I dont think i would travel on sleds in the big bay yet. I know that south of fryes and the raymond end is safe.

Going Saturday, good luck. Give me a shout and let me know how the machines went if you use them.

I would say the big bay is not a good idea for sleds, especially after the snow. Everywhere else should be fine though, just check as you go.

-11.3 F in Sebago, should tighten up the slush pretty fast

Hopefully the warmer temps today don't have much effect on that!!.....
