Was wondering if anyones been to Caroga or Indian lake lately to see if theres any ice left...I checked the conditions board but not much action there.. I have free time at night so if anyones interested in taking a trip when they start running ...let me know!! Also maybe some suggestions for a different place to dip..

I'm definitely interested. I'm not sure if my schedule will work out with the run but, it's worh a shot. I'm pretty sure I can score a dip net somewhere.

Still a lot of ice on Indian yet Jake. With temps predicted to be 0 or below Saturday night some may even try to get back on it to fish. Last weekend guys were marking 16-20 inches of ice still. Shores are shot, but have known some to use a 32' extension ladder to get on the ice....

32' ladder is nuts. I am over the capacity using them the correct way. I can't imagine trying that.

lol ..my dad worked at Mattens shipyard

Welding on the tugboats back in the day...he said they would hook 2 or 3 wooden ladders together to weld on the boat and them babys would bow like crazy!! I think it was for the Mary Taurocama ? family.. just painted the picture for me....but I heard its almost gone at Caroga.....How about Indian ?

Shores are out about 10-12' still. Weather last few days was down in the single digits overnight. Seems we put the ice fishing gear away a little early. lake even looks like it firmed up some. Not as dark right now as last week...
