Planning to be on the hardwater by next Wednesday. What say you?

I think it's a for sure possibility on some bodies of water.

I hope so have a few early ice spots, might share if people want to meet up

Im hoping I can poke around somewhere in the SE next weekend or shortly after!

I'll be checking buddies around Clare starting next week but I think down around Irish Hills by then is iffy. Those little down-low lakes that Mr Costa is thinking about might be ready sooner, though. Enquiring minds will want to know...

If the wind lets up, it may be possible. By the 16th for sure. I will spud holes at my dock, and drive by Clark, Devils, Vineyard, Wamplers etc, and keep ya'll posted

Thanks Skiff. Let us know when you see something lock up.

aacosta · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 08, 2017, 08:30 PM »

I'll be checking on weekends and updating as well

SKIFFLAKEJIMMY · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 10, 2017, 07:19 AM »

It was dead calm last night, and I was sure the lake would be skimmed over. It got windy again during the night. Nothing yet.

Strange day.... Calm most the day windy at night... Usually it's opposite....

aacosta · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 10, 2017, 04:03 PM »

Ponds and 1 small lake iced over but snow on top and slushy spots. More snow expected tomorrow

quack · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 10, 2017, 04:35 PM »

luckily they are backing off the forecast of 2-4 inches and saying around an inch for SE. I saw a lot of ponds today locked up, and some ice on smaller lakes with open water too. lets hope for this wind to lay down monday or tuesday night... fingers crossed!

Doeslayer · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 10, 2017, 06:10 PM »

Tuesday has single digits actual temp lows..... If it's still ice will be singing

SKIFFLAKEJIMMY · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 11, 2017, 09:53 AM »

The 80 acre lake where I live was totally skimmed over this morning, but it is snowing and the ice is gray. Clark lake has no ice at all. Lake Columbia has skim ice in the channels, but the lake is open. Also, Knutson's has a used Dave Genz Trap Pro for $88.00.

thanks for the report skifflake

quack · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 12, 2017, 05:19 AM »

Well we ended up with about 3inches in Washtenaw co.... More coming tomorrow. .. luckily the bigger lakes are still open

Icefisher40 · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 12, 2017, 06:17 AM »

Yeah not happy about the snow predicted wednesday

BLUJBURD · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 12, 2017, 06:43 AM »

With all this snow I now pray for some wicked northwest wind to keep it moving. Sketchy honeycomb first ice again. Be safe friends. Just buy some big pike minnows throw em in a bucket and stand outside and practice until it's safe. Peace and love.

SKIFFLAKEJIMMY · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 13, 2017, 11:01 AM »

Clark Lake is wide open and full of ducks. Vineyard has some ice by the county park on 124. Wamplers looks to have ice, but it was snowing so hard, I couldn't see out very far. Allens Lake and that entire chain has no ice at all. I came home and punched thru on my lake in 2 hits. About 1 inch.

aacosta · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 13, 2017, 06:23 PM »

Im gonna assume lakes that didnt have ice and absorbed the snow will have better ice this year. Maybe

Huebnerc · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 14, 2017, 06:29 AM »

I saw whamplers lake frozen over on Tuesday and sand lake was froze over by last night haven’t checked the ice yet. Please let us know of any spots to go

JoeDirtToo · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 20, 2017, 05:32 AM »

Well...maybe next week.

SKIFFLAKEJIMMY · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 20, 2017, 10:37 AM »

I drove by Clark, Michigan Center, and Vandercook lakes today. They are all locked up. Hopefully it gets thicker, and stays.

quack · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 20, 2017, 01:36 PM »

quack · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 20, 2017, 01:37 PM »

SKIFFLAKEJIMMY · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 21, 2017, 11:49 AM »

SKIFFLAKEJIMMY · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 21, 2017, 02:22 PM »
