I live on 18th. Looks like im gonna have to find that gravel pit...

. I hit a gravel pit right by port sheldon and cottonwood back behind the old target. Didnt have much luck. The ice was kinda iffy and i was alone so i didnt get to move around too much.

It's next to The Jenison International Airport. The are several "ponds" along that dirt road.

Is there a good place to pick up bait over by the pits? I was thinking of heading there this weekend.

The Outdoorsman Pro Shop on Baldwin? They might carry bait, does anyone know?

icyveins · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 16, 2013, 06:05 PM »

pretty sure Nate and the boys over there carry some waxies and spikes! I buy them by the 1000 count containers so I am good all season! lol

Rare fish · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 16, 2013, 08:30 PM »

Anyone check the ice out there recently? Thoughts on this weekend?

adamills · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 16, 2013, 08:36 PM »

Rare fish · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 16, 2013, 08:41 PM »

OK thanks me and the old man will be heading up north where the safe ice is. Hopefully the ice in town will be safe soon so i don't have to keep going up north.

I emailed the Outdoorsman and ask about bait but Im guessing it just wasnt important enough to answer. Thanks for the heads up on Meijer gas station. Never knew it.

I tried to find these pits today just to check out, a fellow iceshanty member told me tyler and 12th ave. any companies close by that I can type into my gps because for some reason I could not find them

Where can I get minnows around here? I used to get them from Gander but with that not being an option anymore where else can I go?

noicks · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 17, 2013, 05:23 PM »

Al and Bobs is the closest now I believe

They have been that way over the years, not sure why.

fangbonj · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 21, 2013, 10:48 AM »

Any reports on the ice? Think this snow is going to screw things up?

Tree Toad · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 13, 2013, 04:29 PM »

It's the last one at the end of the road you'll see the park sign.

I've haven't see anyone out lately so I would assume the ice is still shakey at best.

I saw a shanty on the far north end of the pond on the northside of 12th Ave on Saturday but that was it.

wetline005 · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 13, 2013, 06:35 PM »

I just finished fishing it (Pit at the end), the ice was around 8 inches out front of the so called launch. It was mostly white ice. 2 inches of soft stuff. Another fisherman said around the pole it was not good. I did see 4 guys walk from the other side headed in.

DaveSS1 · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 13, 2013, 06:44 PM »

Must of firm up since sat. I had 1-2 wacks of the spud. There was 6" of slush on 2-3" of grayish ice so that makes sense.
