Ice Conditions?

Post by swallowmypride »

Anyone have an updated report on the ice conditions in the island area?? I am hoping to get out this weekend, since I got the "AOKAY" from PT yesterday! Just be careful, and wear my sling..... Oh and no reeling in 30 lb fish or drilling my own holes, good thing I have a great fishing partner! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I received an ice report from Dockside this morning:
"Sandbar went to sh!t, open water all over out there. Be careful on the ice."
NOT good news.
We're going to need a bunch of cold weather!
Catch and serve with lemon.

Went fishing at the Gut today. As I drove up through the islands I could see everything in the sea was locked up with Ice. Sandbar is fish-able with probably 7 inches of ice. The cowbanks are frozen but I wouldn't venture out there quite yet. The gut had a good 7 inches of ice on it. Fished for about 5 hours with 14 tip ups set for Pike. Ended the day with 5 bass, 3 pickerel, 2 pike and a dozen perch. The perch were small, nothing worth chasing.
If the cold weather keeps up, this weekend there should be 10 inches or so in the bay.
