Ok so i live over an hour away from the lake so i count on everybody on here to keep us up to date. So, are these few days of record setting cold gonna do much for making ice, or is the 30mph + winds gonna prevent the lake from freezing up??? I mean, is the western basin pretty much locked up or not really? I usually try to go out of Catawba so whats it like within a mile of shore there? You dont have to get out very far to catch walleyes. Any info would be great. Thanks guys

After tonight. Look at the modis great lakes images. A few cracks remain.
At 10 knots or less the wind will help. Should be locked up by the morning. Be safe. Wind in excess of 10 knots, beware.

Ok, so i dont know that much about how the weather really affects the ice conditions. But we got somewhat of a mini thaw Friday through Monday. Is that gonna kill the ice and our season or should she survive it? I hope we have a great season, but its gotta stay cold

That's the question. With sub zero temps & wind chills to -40 it's been too dangerous to scout. High 20 tomorrow, I plan on scouting Crane Creek, Camp Perry & Catawba SP Thursday. Let ya know what I find. Another question is will it be machine ready? Rain forecasted for Saturday & there's a lot if snow on ice it will slush up and render a ATV next to useless. Till Thursday. Good night
