It's around if you can find it and feel comfortableon 2.0". Got a few keeper gills at the moment and two small ones on tipups on the drop off. Looking good till about Wednesday and then won't be gaining much. Should have 3.0"-3.5" where I'm at by then. No rain during the warmer temps let's hope it survives!!

hoping for ice to strengthen by this weekend. Some lakes still have ice and those are the ones i'm hopefull for.

As long as the remaining ice makes it through today and tonight, I think you're right we might be able to get out this weekend

jdgambler · « **Reply #10 on:** Jan 08, 2019, 04:32 PM »

pm me if you go out.

Ive pretty much have seen all the ice dissipate everywhere around here. I'm not getting any hopes up for this small chunk of cold. Not trying to stay positive when we are into mid January and have only fished over 3" of ice for a week. And that was dicey at best between the warmups and honey combed ice at that. Hoping I'm wrong however. Boat has been getting used a lot. Just wish the fish catching was better!

I'm working a mile from one of the gravel pits I frequent. I'm gonna give it a check today. It did not loose its ice with the mild weather we had.

I'm on Rush Lake and we were liquid again as of yesterday.

The little bay across the street from my house still has ice on strawberry that I'll be able to get on tomorrow or Saturday. That wind ate up a lot of ice that had survived the warmth and rain

chilly-willy · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 10, 2019, 01:37 PM »

Forcast is looking good for now till three weeks out..

quack · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 10, 2019, 03:49 PM »

About an inch at the edges of my cove on strawberry, ice that survived the warmth should be 1.5-2in. I'm thinking Saturday morning I'll be able to find out.

Also this is on main St going into Ann Arbor haha

That's hilarious!!! I drove by there today too and sent the same picture to my icefishing friends/co workers in a group text!!!

jdgambler · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 11, 2019, 07:31 AM »

I checked a lake yesterday that had bad shore ice . but the rest was ok to walk on. 14 and calm last night. 20 overnight tonight. I'm gonna give it a try tomorrow.

chilly-willy · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 11, 2019, 12:40 PM »

Here is some thing you guys are not going to want to hear!! 2 to 6 inches of snow coming January 19th saturday!! there goes the ice for a while.. but it may insulate what we have and the weight may Crack the good ice so be carefull when gets here!!

jdgambler · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 11, 2019, 04:21 PM »

I just drove by a small lake in hamburg twp and saw 3 guys on it

swampbuckster · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 11, 2019, 10:46 PM »

That's amazing news. My lake has skimmed over night before last. With the forecast, I'll be back on for the second time this year on 2.5"-3" by Tuesday/Wednesday.

Was by whitemore lk yesterday before sundown. The launch was locked up but just barely. There was a section with 3” of ice but most of it was fresh clear <1”.

Is there word on any place in Livingston area that is good, I sure am itching to get out.

jdgambler · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 13, 2019, 07:50 AM »

You would have had to keep an eye on the particular lake. If it didn't loose it ice it should be good. I fished 4" of clear hard ice yesterday evening. caught 25 nice perch between 2 of us.

FrigidJigger · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 13, 2019, 11:53 AM »

You’re right. I was able to find a number of lakes with safe ice today. Looking good!!!

jdgambler · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 13, 2019, 12:56 PM »

yes hopefully we get a good 5-6" before some snow comes this weekend.
