Hey everyone,

I was up by Ball Island today and caught one decent Yellow perch and maybe 30- 40, 6 inches probably about 50-60 people out over the bay,,  Really nice day.    Where I was the ice was damned close to 10 inches thick. I hope everyone else had a great time also today..  Brian

you were in wrong spot, fished up in lapans today and caught a bucket of keeprs from 6-12inches of that bucket proably dozen and half were over 10. and caught my first burbot a master angler length one at that!

Have the Whites moved into the bay yet? I have never caught white perch through the ice and I  would love to catch a bucket full of these guys when they move in.

How do you access Lapans? I've never fished up that way until recently and wanted to try some new places.

There is no parking for lapans bay, got to find a place you can drive and park on the ice.

Awesome man! I was wondering when they would start hitting!

[BrianJ]

Thanks for the information

When me and smelty were out we fished right along the pressure crack, set tips about 20 foot from it in a straight line from shore out about 400 yds into the bay. there were a couple of flags that we couldnt keep in the water, so my guess is that there is some sort of structure where we had set. But we really set on a whim when we got out and found that we couldnt get where we wanted to go due to the crack.

Thanks, i was thinking about parking in kill kare state park and atving to the bay, just how bad is this pressure crack you are talking about?

[ice fiend]

filled my bucket with yellows today in the bay nonstop action were hitting bare jigs didnt use spikes at all and iwas on the ice at 11 and off by 3

Are burbot common in Lapan? That would be neat to try fishing for them there instead of driving all the way to the NEK.

[Smelty88]

there are parts of the crack that are prob 10-15 feet of open water. Not a crack even worth trying to cross!
