    Please be very careful on the open lake. The ice is not safe!. There are still lake freighters running between Detroit, Toledo and the eastern end of Lake Erie.

    Currently (right now 11:17PM Thursday) the USCG Cutter Neah Bay is located at N41°53.906' W82°50.400' escorting the Capt Henry Jackman and the H Lee White through the Pelee Passage. In addition, the American Courage is on her way to Toledo for layup, but right now she is making a 50' wide path through the ice in the channel to Toledo.
    As long as the Coast Guard Cutter is breaking ice for these freighters there is a very great chance any wind from the south or southwest will open cracks along the south shore.

    Thanks for that info. Although I am experienced ice fisher I don't have but one season on the big lake think I will hold off a week or so. Have no plans on being a statistic of that lake as much as I'd like to get out. Maybe super bowl Sunday is a better choice god willing. Thanks again guys.

    Normal winters, the freighters will run all winter. Last winter the thick ice stopped them . Playing the wind on a normal winter such as this one is your best bet . Plenty of guys out yesterday at Perry and Catawba with machines. Not saying all the ice is safe but we were on pretty much 7-10 inches out of Perry where we fished. Yes the fish were snapping as well. Can't give exact location as I was out with a friend.
