... a good guesstimate for last decent ice, and still have reasonably good shore ice to get on, would be between March 26th (week from this Wednesday) though April 2nd (two Tuesdays from tomorrow) - then that'll be 'bout it - done !... 9 to 14 day's left, "at very, very best" if that !... it's a edjumocated guess !http://www.weather.com/weather/monthly/12845
It just depends on how much the machines and bubblers tear up the shoreline. Nothing sucks more than having a good 12-16" of decent ice left and having 20-30' of open water between you and it. If the forecast stays as predicted, I don't think the first weekend in April is out of the question.
Was out Sunday out of vets. On the ice by 6:15 caught decent perch around 40 lots of dinks! Brought 10 home over 8'' fished 28fow. Lost a giant laker spooled out 100yrds in about 35 sec. This was on a perch tipup 4lb test with a #12 hook and a fathead. Got her to the hole just got my hand on the back of its head '' was about the size of a rough cut 2x4''. All of a sudden it sanpped the line, the hook popped out caught my hand and down it went. My father and I replied at the same moment. Jeez that was a monster. It took up a lmost all of my 8" hole. Soaked my arm chasing it down the hole. That was at about 830 I never left till 12:30 lots of dink did well with a genz worm and a #8ratso. Awesome experience! Are gaffs legal on The King??
Worth mentioning. I switched from the gaff to a good set of Boga grips this year and have a lot of faith in them. I had to retire the gaff to the back of the shed before one of my kids impaled themselves. They're good to have for landing and releasing pike and trout without hurting them bad.
I love my Boga Grips!

So anyone know where I can pick up some jigs called scud bug ty
Fish 307 had a few left of the one's that I like. The Northland Scud Bug.They do carry a big assortment of Maki plastics also. I don't know for certain, but I'll bet they have some sort of scud imitation in that Maki display. Due to my own success. I'd suggest the Northland scud if they have them.The user adktony works for 307. He would know if they have any scuds in stock. Shoot him a pm
