Checked magician this morning and it had good ice until about 50ft it then the spud went through and it began cracking bad. I heard there was two guys out last night on it but I don't know how they got out there. Me and some buddies went this morning on a channel behind subway in st Joe. Caught a lot of really small perch but nothing close to keepers.
checked 3 lakes yesterday and none of them are ready but getting close. Boyle and Madron both had about 2 inches. Dayton had about the same. Never fished Madron though. Anyone been on Madron?
New to the area... also curious about Madron Lake and Boyle Lake, if they are worth my time. Not trying to spill the beans about anybody's secret spot so PMs are welcome if you want to help a guy out
Anyone ever try Asylum Lake off of Drake rd? Quite a walk back from the parking area, but no boat launch.. wondering if anyone has had success with big gills here
tons of "big gills", bring all your friends.
Results from a 2008 study showed that water quality in the lake has decreased after years of heavy stormwater loads and the infiltration of nutrients from fertilizers. The pollution fed a process called eutrophication, in which a body of water receives so many nutrients that excessive plant growth occurs. That can decrease the dissolved oxygen in the water, causing fish kills and other problems.
Years ago my dad used to kill the blue gil on asylum lake. Every winter the gazette used to run pictures of a guy that ice fished out of there and did super good. Now for the bad news.Doesn't sound good, any other good lakes in the area?
Which lake was that?
