plenty of ice in crystal lake 12 inches easy!!! the pike are hitting very good on tip ups, seems speratic all day, no real good time to go, and the gills are good too , in the 6-8 inch range.

[muskybait]

i was on bangs lake in wauconda. thats the only place ive been fishing lately becuase ive been doing so well out there. normally i fish the chain alot because i live on the chain. anyhoo, i dont think the ice is going anywhere anytime soon. how has crystal lake been doing ?

[muskybait]

plenty of pike hitting, and an wandering musky every now and then, bass are so-so, gills everywere right now, and the crappie , well lets say they move around to much for me, im just mainly a tip up kind of guy

Been fishin Lake Marie alot lately,Good ice and the best bite seems to be just around dusk.
With the rain tonight I'm not sure about the shoreline holding up.60's next week.

i just ogt done riding my snow machine on fox and petite to burn most of the gas that was left. well the shoreline is okay on fox and petite right now and it looks like it will hold up at least into the weekend depending on how hard it rains. its looking like im only gonna get out once or twice more with my work schedule being the way it is.

im done also! not much ice left where i fish infact couple of lakes near me allready have closed due to unsafe ice! willow slough in indiana was my main honey hole and they shut down on saturday after a man fell through the ice and  DIED!!!!    SO TIME TO GET THE BOAT OUT AND  HIT SOME OF THE THE COOLING LAKES

[jimfish]

You're going to let a little thing like "unsafe ice" stop ya?? Well I went out to the forest preserves yesterday to find no ice.
