I am hoping to go tomorrow morning off the ramp.  Is there still people fishing that area?

They were fishing there lastnight when i left. Careful where u get on at. 1 spot a foot goes through, another spot a quad got on. There is a small shove right at the boat launch.

Was thinking about Maxy Sat mourn, then searched Culver weather forecast and changed my mind. Don't know how close culver is to Starke County Airport, but looks like allot of rain and high of 48. Anyone going watch getting off that may be the biggest problem.

Saturday

A chance of showers, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 48. Southeast wind around 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Slow to no bite where we were, 5 to 6 inchs of ice in the basin of the the ramp area, just watch your first few steps and you should be good.
Was there this morning, great day to be out and the fish took the day off also.
Good luck be safe and wise.

Fished the bay all day yesterday.  Several little ones, including a 10" walleye.  Caught the biggest rock bass I've ever seen and one 10" gill.  Very slow overall.  Ice was good when we got on, 7-8" but was softening by end of day.  Broke through at last step onto seawall.   Got wet up to my knees, but beautiful day and glad to get out one last time!  Be safe!

Went this morning.  Got a couple gills, a perch, and 2 short eyes.  Marked fish in every hole that would come up to your jig, but they had lockjaw.

Heard the north of the lake is all ripped open. Guy said that the boat launch area was a little sketchy and shifting around.

Trying to go wednesday myself.

Hit the ice around 10:30 am and there was no one there. The Northwest/North/Northeast end of the lake is all open water. If you want to fish... it will have to be out of the south end, unless you can launch a boat from the north end. Edges are worn and weak, I stepped through getting on and off tonight. The ice was 7-9 inches everywhere I drilled today. I was a mile out from the boat ramp. I checked the ice from the boat ramp all the way out to my location. Seen the 1st fisherman @ 2pm and then a few others showed up for the evening. The bite was the worst I experienced this season. Still glad to be out, regardless the bite. Be safe out there.
