I was out there today and was on 5 inches of clear ice.

Got out on Stone today. A beautiful day on the hard water..good ice in the area where I was. We did get 4 inches of new snow last night, and I'm sure it will be melting tomorrow. I tried several baits today but all I could catch 'em on was G and G Proto type!

I would like to get out one more time before the end, for me that is Sunday because i work the next 2 weekends. Wondering if there is any ice around Valpo/Laporte but would hate to ask for ice conditions on this board. Only got out 2 nights this year, luckily one of them was the best crappie bite i've ever been on and i had my limit of 9-11's in under 2 hrs.

Nice report MIKE .  Your becoming the PERCH HUNTER of STONE  ,  LOL
If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

Good luck in Michigan City, a buddy and I may be going that way in the morning also maybe see you up that way.  Have you heard anyone betting any?  I went Friday afternoon with a guy over to the Gary light and fished the warm water discharge and caught a mix of fish.  Couple Browns, a couple Steelhead, and a couple coho.  It was fun but a chilly boat ride.

hoosierdad and hunting junkie, sorry for the delay in responding. Hope you guys got out and caught a few. I saw guys on south pine today too. Lots of parking at the boat ramp at Stone.
