Ice Out

[wallenharms]

So, with the warm weather and rain on the way anyone know if it's offically ice out? Wanted to launch this weekend if possible, maybe mazuriks...

I wouldn't exactly call it ice out. I have heard of folks getting out on the lake but there is a lot of ice still out there.

The DNR has not launched the ramps, but there is open water to the Gravel Pit off the east side of the freight channel. My buddy limited yesterday in 22 FOW in Ohio water. 4 Eyes in 1 hour.

East of Maumee Bay still has ice to Davis Besse.

Water Temp was 38.6

Good Luck and Good Fishing

I was up by wild wings and turtle creek today looked like alot of ice to me what we need is a few warm nights and a good south west blow

No problem launching if ya wear knee high burly's to hop on the bow after a good push off. Last weekend was defintely a no go. Noreasters and all. I am going Wed. Give it few days to settle down and clean up a smidge. Had North winds today, tonight, and tomorrow. That should consolidate the ice to the south shore and give us a good run over to the gravel pit again.

Good Luck and Good Fishing
