I would guess on the Gun channels. That gets the first ice every year.

fishfry145 · « **Reply #2 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 03:08 PM »

you ever do very good on the channels?

ready2fish · « **Reply #3 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 04:50 PM »

went by gun today, never fished the channels since i don't know any one to let me go through there yard, i did see 4 people on the channels with not much action going on. From what i could see the west side of gun had iced over it and the east side was open. Since the south east side is for the most part is deeper i would hope it starts soon.

I'm refering to the state park channel. I would buy a park pass though. Most of the time you can just drive in, but I have seen the ranger driver through and check to see if you have the sticker.

Guys are fishing Bairds Cove on Gun and other smaller Yankee Springs lakes are good to go with 3 to 5 inches.

Basset looked alittle thin yet at the launch. That lake not only has inlets/outlets but is springs everywhere. Baker had 2.5/3 at the launch and a couple guys were out on shaw. Will be heading out over by Hastings in the a.m.

thanks- good report, how far out did the ice look good at baker

About 20' off the launch in my running shoes!!!! Someone had already drilled a few holes. Most all lakes should be real good by end of the weekend.

The south end is shallow and is good. My bro verified. 2.5 to 3 yesterday. The middle bays are very deep and are always late to freeze.
Bassett is slower to lock down as well. Baker and Noonday would be good bets.

Went out on Carter this morning and the lake has 2.5-3.5" of ice. Fishing was ok with the majority of the fish sitting tight to bottom.

ready2fish · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 19, 2009, 04:39 PM »

was on Bairds Cove on Gun this morning, most people are tip up fishing since its only 5ft deep, seen a few come up. this was my first time on the ice this season and it was great being out. I caught my smallest perch ever, about a minner size with lots of small gills and perch, i did catch since i don't gill fish much my biggest gill ever, it was like a football. Overall it was fun to be on some hard water just waiting for deeper water lakes to freeze .

never fished chief noonday , i walked out on it this week just to see how the ice was, i know during mid winter it turns into a ice track, that must be fun

TK81 · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 19, 2009, 08:29 PM »

Gonna try to get on Barlow tomorrow. Hopefully there will be enough ice to get to my perching grounds. Could not get to my speck spot up here...only about 2 inches of ice past 6 FOW.
