Ice Fishing this season?

[West Basin]

Buddy is still stuck on South Bass Island. May not be able to leave until Sunday. Airplanes still grounded due to fog.
Two week forecast doesn't look good for ice fishing to start again, maybe the rest of the winter. Every day above freezing as well as most nights. Another cold spell is in the long range forecast, mid February, but that will probably be too little too late. The week or so we got might be it.

I saw live camera video from the ship on the west side. Open water between the island and rattlesnake. Doesn’t look good for the near future.
