any ice reports?

[7wfishing]

Just was wondering if there were any ice reports out there? I herd that the lake was mostly ice covered but looked at satlite pic and it dosent look like it. I also herd around the islands that it was ice cover over a week ago? any update would be great thanks.

Fellas are fishing Brest Bay in Monroe, MI. Ice is locked up from Cawtawba SP to the islands but with push ice. Shards and more shards. Extreme travel conditions. Ave thickness is 7". Ice boats are starting to run out to Green Island area. Limited success. Weather later this week will help smooth it out somewhat and the ice boats should be making a path through it for us. But I would not follow there path till late next week after the next cold front does its job.

Good Luck and Good Fishing

Thanks jig for the update, I am hoping we can fish crane creek area again this year. But I might go try breast bay again, just never did vary well there in years past. Thanks again and keep me posted I will do the same.

Every year is different. I want Crane Creek also but it seems that is the late part of the season for safe ice. The pattern at Brest Bay last year was a late bite. Anywhere from 5pm till 11pm. It is never as good as Crane Creek, Camp Perry or Cawtawba for that matter. Just a place to check the equipment out with a chance to hook into one.

Do you know the ice conditions for breast bay and a fishing report? Or did the warm up make it no fishable? Looking to do a shake down and test out the equipment. Thanks in advance.
