Ice Fishing may happen

[West Basin]

Ice Update:

Temperature forecast is real good, but the wind forecast is real bad. High winds most days this coming week. Web cams show a lot of ice, but a lot of it is frozen broken up ice. Even if there is thick ice formation through this coming week, enough for ice fishing, trying to travel through jumbled up chunks of ice is difficult at best, as well as dangerous. The winds will keep currents moving and changing as well as stressing the ice. I'm not anywhere near an ice expert, but it looks like getting any good ice conditions right now is not likely. Maybe some spots off South Bass Island if the locals can find / make travel lanes out to close fishing areas. But until the winds die off for several days or longer, I wouldn't think anyone with any sense will be out.

That is the problem, those that do go out without any common sense, messes it up for those that use their heads !!

Drove through East Harbor on Saturday. There were about three dozen fishing shanties on the ice.
