I went out to eagle point on Thursday-I didn't see any bobhouses by the islands -everyone was parking on the road but wheelers were on the ice and folks seemed to be fishing everywhere.I was coming back from a sledding trip so didn't have my fishing gear to give it a go.

Went out today.  Six inches of ice, four inches of slush on top of that in spots.  Lot of water on top in spots too.  Didn't stay that long because my youngest's feet were instantly soaked.  Got a couple smelt nibbles but we didn't go out between the islands where i like to go.  One shanty out between the islands.

8-9 inches, one guy had a truck out there, I'd say its too early for that, but there were wheelers out all over and a few shanties

I was over at Strawberry Acres access today. Talked to a guy who just drove off the ice in his truck.  Asked him if there was eight inches of ice and he hesitantly said yes 6 to 8.  Asked him if he went all the way out to Providence Island he said he wasnt over there he was on the western side but he saw an SUV over by Providence.  A guy came with small camper and he towed it out on the ice with his friend.

Vaya con dios amigo.

Go through Newport and follow the lake around to get to Strawberry Acres.Used to be a farmer who stored and put folks bobhouses out for them over there.Always liked the islands better for fishing !

The access is actually called Whipple Point I believe, on Strawberry Acres road.  Take Lake road out of the west side of Newport, once you cross the railroad tracks take an immeidate right onto Strawberry acres road.
