Anyone ice fishing

[dayze_awayze]

I haven't been up to the islands in a few weeks. Is anybody up there ice fishing? If so I'm looking for a guide for one man fishing trip.

There are guys fishing East Harbor. There may be locals going out from PIB, I'm not sure. But according to the satellite view from yesterday, I don't think there's enough ice on the main lake to go.. Not yet anyways.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up taking the drive up to Saginaw Bay over the weekend and had a great trip! 24 inches of ice where we settled in to pull up some fish. Decent quality eyes (6.5 lb, 5 lb, 2-4 lb a few 2.5-3 lb keepers). Had some shorties and a silver or white bass that wouldn't fit through the 6 inch hole. Well worth the drive if you need to scratch that itch, and have a way to travel 6 miles across the ice.

how was the crack?

Hey troy how's it going

Since Ice hasn't been holding up on Erie very well, I am heading back to Saginaw again this weekend. About 28 inches of ice and they are still nailing walleye in early morning and evening. Slower during the day. A buddy of mine is guiding up there now (since no good ice on Erie) and said he and his clients are limiting out daily.

The crack was a little tricky, but manageable.

One snow mobile went into the drink before daylight.

We went about 3/4 mile east and found a smooth crossing point where the ice was pushed back together. We returned over the same crossing point.

Great day and we drilled through 24 inches of ice for fishing.
