Hey guy's I dont normally get to come up north much in the winter any more..I have a weekend off 14& 15...I was wondering if you guys could keep this post going thru the week on the ice conditions on long lake...No need for the fishing reports , but if you have done well and u feel the need to post your findings here please do so...I just want to be safe out there with my 2 sons is all I'm looking for....Thanks Good Luck and be safe Mark

I just checked our permanent shanty on the north end off Long Lake grocery, solid 9" of ice with water on top. Ice was firm and the permanent is staying put. I think you will be just fine. If you want to catch sorter walleye, then head out from the grocery, crescent shores, or the public launch, if you are mobile and want some good areas, pm me; I can keep you updated on the ice conditions as well.

We just PULLED our permanent off of Long Lake, wow, what a difference 55 degrees, 30mph winds and 7 hours is to the ice. I was really nervous pulling the shanty off the ice. Long has all frozen snow as it's top layer and it deteriated rather quickly. Safe to walk on, but boy I wouldn't want to be on it again until it locks back up.
