we looked out and saw a large dark area, the size of a kitchen table. It was a spot of open water that just appeared. We had over 20" ice everywhere else. We got the heck out of there. Apparently the current spreads out and wore out sections of the ice from underneath.
Current can do those crazy things. Thats why the narrows and south end of the lake take longer to freeze I think.We had something like that happen on LG too, fishing an area one day, go there the next day, there is a huge open hole right where we had been fishing with loons swimming around.
We are hoping to access from dock st and walk out near the island tomorrow. Has anyone been out there? Is the ice safe out over that deep water?
Wheelers all over north basin on Sat. Personally I wouldn't have a problem going there with my sled, just not anywhere near the Narrows, yet.
hey guys, anyone ever fish Big Pond off Hoffman road? I have fished a lot of surrounding ponds, but never Big Pond
Any report on the ice from Eagle Point ?
Got my first lakers through the ice. Fished the north end all day, went a half mile south of the island, ended up with 5, but missed a lot of hits too, like they were just grabbing the tail of the swim shads I was using. Ice was 8-10" everwhere i drilled. Awesome place great day, thanks again to everyone who offered up suggestions!(Image removed from quote.)
