Ice conditions

[BossHogg]

Yesterday's satellite view was pretty clear. Lots of ice in the western basin but it appears to be pretty cracked up. I think the next s.w. blow will open it up quite a bit. Unless we get a week of 50's there is going to be icebergs for several weeks yet.

I have been a stalker on this site for many years now, reading all the positive comments and very helpful info that you guys put on here to help the guys out that are week end warriors. For myself, I am a seasonal worker that has more time in the winter than summer and can not believe the info that was put out there for this years unbelievable ice fishing season.( Been ice fishing Erie for over 20 yrs when there was good ice.) For you locals and Capt's that put just enough info on here to at least get us guys in the right area. (lot of lake between Meinke's and Katawba) pat yourself on the back because it is appreciated by most. And your info on ice conditions will keep people safe. The ones that listen.......

Thanks for the great information on the ice conditions, I am from Wisconsin and we still have 30" of ice on Winnebago (My home lake) I have my first trip to Erie scheduled for the 1st week of May and I am getting both anxious and nervous because of the ice. I retired in January and fishing has now become my fulltime pastime. Also a special thanks to Skipper 9, year after year when I check this site for my upcoming trips, Jim is the first guy I look for and he's always there with good info. Thanks again, us out of staters, really appreciate you guys and this site.
