How far of a drag is it from Catawba Island State Park to get into a fecemt walleye area? Is it too far to drag meaning I should bring my teenager as labor?

I think the west shore is good by sun morn...The extended looks crazy cold....

Took a ride to Catawba today. Ice is pretty broke up and open water is not that far off state park. (Saw white caps today). All open just a little east of ferry dock. Still ice between the cliffs and pib. I hope tomorrow that the ice survives the wind. On the bright side starting over with temps coming probley won't be that bad with the rough stuff I saw today. Mark :tipup:

Just talked to a friend on the isl.he said ice was 3-6 yesterday off the west shore..Looks like im good for sun-mon...CAN'T WAIT!!!!

The west wind has played havoc on the ice at erie in erie metro park in michigan.. k?
The ice is pushed away from shore on the west wind you can't even spud out the ice for 10 feet from shore is fresh freeze every couple days and is very soft.. if you go 20 foot out loos Ike 1 to 1.5 inches of ice.. I urge caution by the way this pick is what look like eagle or sone kind of huge bird sitting on ice on erie?? And no way to get oout and fish.. i first thought they were fisher men asked the lady in car next to me if it was fishermen.. she said no it was birds so I walk to edge and did not even bother spudding out!! cause the ice was so bad all I can do is urge caution .. by the way fish were not bitting I think there over presured already..limit space caused by limited ice.. that was ware I was fishing.. siting on tip of the dock cause ice was that bad!! I went to point mouliee and same thing every ware else.. so just a heads up of sorts hope you can fish off a dock and drill hole in ice and sit on the dock cause great lakes ice just is not good yet!! On erie around here yet..

The lake is locking up around PC and Marblehead. There were a few people testing the ice by the Catawba State Launch today. I would say by Sunday or Monday we might be able to go out a few miles. Next weekend for sure.
The ice is good in East Harbor. About 20 flip shantys out there today.

I flew supplies to put in Bay today and will return tomorrow to fish for eight days. There are about 30 shanties out towards Rattlesnake Island and the ramps on both the new and old are in good shape.

Just a heads up Monday calling for gusts at 50 mph in michigan. so you know the ice is not going to last. might be last trip for year for this weekend for a lot if people.
-
If the ice off the west shore holds thru sun, I think were good for a couple more weeks...Gale force winds will really test it...If it blows up were done...
-
We are still fishing off the west shore about 3/4 of a mile towards rattlesnake and catching walleye. We are pulling our equipment this afternoon late and we anticipate this being the end of it due to the extreme high winds forecasted.
-
Forkzilla thanks for the reports. Do you do any guiding or trans porting fisherman out to the island. Thanks in advance.
-
I do not. It's tough enough to keep up with my sons and friends.
-
Just talked to rob at the black sq..The ice made it through the big blow and im on for this weekend..Should be good for at least 2 more trips....greg

Yup but be carefull fresh snow falling on wednessday this week 3 to 5 inches in michigan by me.. so might be more there?? the fresh snow hides soft spots is why I say use caution..
-
This isn't my first rodeo chilly...Fished the lake in winter for 40+yrs..Im just sayin.....
-
I texted a friend of mine on PIB yesterday and he told me he spudded off the new ramp and found 9" of ice down to 4", in muddy water. I asked him to text if he caught fish, and didn't get any response as of yet. I'm done for the year.
-
Good luck Greg, was gonna come over fri and sat, work got in the way.
Jeff texted me a pic of the mud, a photo of how thick the ice is.

I think it will clean up enough to fish by sun..Its just hard to pass on fishin erie in march on the ice...Mud or not...greg
-
latest sat pic shows the water cleaning up fast...I think im good for the weekend....
-
I flew to Put-in-Bay today to check the ice, and saw 25 to 30 pop-up shanties on the ice. Some of them walked out and some of them drove their four-wheelers out. 1 Island resident reported as little as 4 in of ice. Very few fish being caught most likely due to the muddy water.
-
Ya cant always have clear water ya know? Im gonna give it a shot anyway.. Ill let ya know how I make out....greg

Thank you. I bought that old airplane when I was in my 20s and I'm on Social Security now. LOL

fish mar 1 to mar 5. Water was cloudy, had to figure out what work. after that we were catching 20 to 30 a day. Some days aggressive. other very little movement when marks come in.
-
I fished the 3-4th and did excellent both days...I guess location matters..Headed back up sat...

yea your right chilly,But the thing is they were fishin Catawba not put in bay...Catawba is mainland and put in bay is a REAL island...Those people were just plain dumb to fish Catawba this time of year,especially this year..I think they even had a east wind..Not smart...Remember this thread is puy in bay ice,right? Anyway a great yr for me and cant wait till next season.....
-
I fished off Catawba from wed-fri. Had a great couple of days. 6-7 in off ice every hole I drilled. I dumped my minnows fri when I saw the big east wind for sat. Didn’t want to be tempted to beat Mother Nature. The crack on the point was the same one every year and started working on fri. Mark :tipup:
-
..I think they even had a east wind..Not smart...
Yup it was east by the way I know a lot of guy around have a lot of experience.. but the orignal post was to prevent stuff like catawaba from happening for unexperierenced ice fishermen best thing to do is put out a warning early.. and let them unexperierenced fishermen do as I say not as I do.. heck we fish till two week ago.. and last week end was not safe cause of east wind.. that how quick it changes.

46 people rescue off catawba. talk to guide on PIB sunday said bank ice going away, done for the year.
