Hey Goose...r u talking about gs have 5 inches already?

hunts2long · « **Reply #871 on:** Dec 13, 2019, 06:00 AM »

Most of the lake is open water as of yesterday. There may be a few bays with some ice but it will be awhile before I would trust any of it. We have had cold, then snow, then rain and warm temps. Today and Sat it is 30/40's and rain in the forecast....h2l

Yes I am talking about Gsl,up by sport island pub. I spudded my way around and it is good solid ice.That portion has been frozen for a while now,on and off. I’m definitely not gonna venture out very far,and Saturday’s weather may wreck the ice conditions. Next week should make good ice.

Thx for the info

Hey Goose. Has anything else locked up other than in the bays up there or did the weather last week wipe out any ice there was?

Goose97 · « **Reply #875 on:** Dec 17, 2019, 12:32 PM »

There is still ice on the Northville side and bays are still frozen,it doesn’t look like the weather harmed it too much,these next couple days will definitely help.

hunts2long · « **Reply #876 on:** Dec 17, 2019, 01:08 PM »

Just not as much as there was last week. Lake has come up a little over a foot in the last week. There was a lot of water on top over the weekend where there was ice. We have about 3 inches of new snow, but as Goose said it will be getting cold the rest of the week.....h2l

Goose97 · « **Reply #877 on:** Dec 18, 2019, 12:29 PM »

As of this after the Edinburg side is frozen over as well..it’s getting close! I can’t wait for this weekend.

njmar75 · « **Reply #878 on:** Dec 19, 2019, 07:21 PM »

Any updates of ice condition near Northville?

Goose97 · « **Reply #879 on:** Dec 19, 2019, 07:36 PM »

5 -5-1/2 inches tonight

njmar75 · « **Reply #880 on:** Dec 19, 2019, 07:38 PM »

Wow...already?!!

njmar75 · « **Reply #881 on:** Dec 19, 2019, 07:40 PM »

Hey Goose...whole bay is locked?

Goose97 · « **Reply #882 on:** Dec 19, 2019, 10:06 PM »

Yes as far as the eye can see.and the main basin will be locked up after tonight,was very close this afternoon

Hey Goose...what u think nortville area will be good for atv next weekend?...im planning to come from jersey

Goose97 · « **Reply #884 on:** Dec 20, 2019, 09:11 PM »

I would have to say yes, looks like it will make some more ice by then.

hunts2long · « **Reply #885 on:** Dec 21, 2019, 06:45 AM »

I am sure it will make "some more" ice but how much. Right now they are calling for 8/9 days of temps in 30 to 40's with nighttime lows in the 20's. Another thing to keep in mind is that the lake is going down about 3 inches a day. Just be safe out there with an atv….h2l

njmar75 · « **Reply #886 on:** Dec 21, 2019, 07:34 AM »

Yes i know...but if is solid 6-6.5 will be no problem for atv...why is going down?

because every lake has been high several feet from the rain the snow melt not too long ago and it starts to drop crazy machine out this early

Yeah, I agree w Fordman. I’d say bring it along if you want njmar but don’t bank on using it until you check the ice for yourself.

Good luck guys. It’s almost game time!! Be Safe!!

njmar75 · « **Reply #889 on:** Dec 21, 2019, 08:44 AM »

Thx for advice guys...!!!

hunts2long · « **Reply #890 on:** Dec 21, 2019, 09:32 AM »

The lake is about 10 feet higher than it should be for this time of year. They have to draw it down to make room for the spring rains and run-off....h2l

Goose97 · « **Reply #891 on:** Dec 21, 2019, 11:18 AM »

Just looked at the forecast,doesn’t look so hot for the ice. On a good note, we got a 30” pike so far today

hunts2long · « **Reply #892 on:** Dec 22, 2019, 08:42 AM »

That is better than a "skunk"...h2l

I never believed the guys that would say yeah I got 8 walleye yesterday. We catch a few here and there . So finally I got 3 friends to take a charter on the Dead Sea. 16 walleye in 4 hours. Now I don’t doubt anyone.

👍🏻👍🏻 Did u learn. New techniques or was it Location

Nice. The gsl can produce some nice fish. I keep my boat at a marina during the summer. We fish off the dock all the time and catch fish. I’ve got 5-6 eyes in an hour before. They seem to really school up. Lots of smallmouth too. My stepson pulled in 3 in a row this spring.

Goose97 · « **Reply #896 on:** Dec 25, 2019, 07:48 PM »

If you know the right spots,the Dead Sea can pay off very nicely..this big girl was a fine Christmas present today, along with another decent pike and 4 eater walleye.

Garufi518 · « **Reply #897 on:** Dec 25, 2019, 07:59 PM »

Nice one goose

hunts2long · « **Reply #898 on:** Dec 26, 2019, 05:29 AM »

Nice one Goose. I would break my neck on that ice...lol...h2l

That's a good start to the year Goose! Is the ice going to hold up for this coming weekend?
