So you don't want anyone to fish your spot, which I understand. So then what is the point of saying what you caught if not to brag?

Because im just letting people know the fish are around, u just have to catch them! If i wanted to brag i would post all of my fishing pics on here but i dont, and i dont have a spot, if someone is fishing were i wanted to, thats fine, i just find the depth im looking for elsewhere, its a huge lake, many good reefs, and holes, plus i usually plan to fish 2-3 different locations anyway.

Your right .....this is a place to post reports and a picture is a report.    Its pretty hard to type sarcasm.........I get bored sometimes and like to give people a hard time.  No punt intended!   Im known to post pictures of fish on another site.......I was calling the kettle black.       I like to post a picture to make a guy go crazy wanting to fish rather then rub it in there face.    Sometimes rubbing it in a little ain't so bad.

Man where have you been?  Lots of people went out, then went home, then came back to their gear being long-gone!  People still goin gout south of Sand Point along the Baraga shore, but anywhere else is risky at best!  Also there is a new hobby starting up along the Point Abbaye area.....shack shrapnel hunting!  Seriously……..people are finding stuff in ice pack along the shores now.  Heck, as of last eve some shacks were way way WAY out in the middle of the Bay, still clinging to float ice!  Your better off fishing Portage!

I hear you can still fish at Baraga Marina or the willow. Try fishing out by fishslayer and you might get some. Everyone else I talked to haven't been catching, except for smelt at night.

Garshouse,
  Luckily I went home that day, but took all my gear and portable shanty with me, I heard the disaster stroke minutes after that, I had a first timer with me who felt cold even with the heater being on all time. I drove by the bay yesterday and it doesnt look good, thin ice with chunks of old ice floating all over. counted total of 12 shanty still floating.

I fry them, deepfry them, and bake them, the lake herring are a real good eating fish, surprises me more people dont fish for them, and i also smoke them. I also give some of my fish fish to a few elders of the tribe that enjoy eating fish but can no longer fish, try to get a few every week or so for them.

My wife went to Marquette yesterday and said she saw shelters out from Assinins. Are people fishing out there again or are they the remaining ones that floated out from further in last week?

Stranded shacks.  There are still a few out there in need of rescue.   However people are taking portables out here and thereas well.  BUT you have to be careful, as the ice can be 4 inches in one spot, then suddenyl 1/2" as you get into areas with old and new ice mixed.  It would have been better if all that busted up crap would have just blew out and things would have reset from scratch.

Ice has set up for the most part in the lower bay again.  Even people carefully going on ice near the lighthouse.  BUT BE CAREFUL!!!  Still reports of dangerous ice, especially Sand Point North.  The drop off near shore will easily claim you if you make a foolish move.  Bring a spud and a buddy!

So lovesmelt, was that you off Irene's Pizza today? Did you get anything? Fishing was terrible for me the last two days. The fish seemed to have disappeared.

Yeah it is sort of funny that after the ice broke up and a bunch of people lost stuff, the spots in the lower bay suddenly became popular!  Seems some knew Pizza Flats was a producer all along LOL!

I heard the shoreline ice is deteriorating in spots. I fished off the Pumphouse yesterday but had a jump a 3 ft gap. Be careful guys.
