    As you would expect, nobody out off Catawba this morning. All the ice shanties have been pulled off the ice north and west of South Bass Island (there was one person out there this morning). We'll see what this coming storm, mostly the high N NNE winds, do to the ice. Then Friday Saturday bitter cold again and continued at night through Tuesady. No significant warmup forecast through next weekend, so hopefully the ice fishing will return.

    Going by the Internet web cams, most shanties back out off South Bass. A few folks out off Catawaba. So ice fishing is back on.

    Looks like the ice fishing season probably has at least one more weekend (Feb 25-27) left over at South Bass. Winds and warm weather / rain have broken up the Western Basin ice everywhere except west and north of South Bass and a few other island and nearshore areas. South Bass fishing has been reduced due to the weather, but they are still out there on 12 inches of ice. Last second hand report I got was the fishing wasn't that good that day, but that was middle of last week. Today they should be back at it and more people fishing. Every week now more walleye are coming into the area in preparation for the upcoming spawning season, so this week and next should see better success and more bigger fish caught.

    The ice on the Lake will be there for some time, so the safe open water season (no flow ice) is still probably a month away. But we all know as soon as the launch ramps open up and boats can get out, there will be people out there starting to fish.

    Thanks for the ice fishing update.That wind last week really broke up and moved the ice in the western basin.They will be lucky to get another weekend to fish off the islands.You are correct on around another month till open water fishing.The charters usually start putting their boats in when the marinas clear around the third thru fourth week of March.
    And yes,they have a Huron river thread going on OGF thats being updated as the ice clears.There will be guys fishing as soon as it opens too.The problems they will encounter are potential ice sheets moving and blocking their way back to ramps.There is also a tremendous amount of floating debris coming out of rivers and on the lake as the ice melts.
