Just curious is anyone has been out to check the ice in Oakland county today or yesterday? I want to fish long, with is right next to Union. Had great ice last weekend, just not sure what the last few days did. I expect the shore ice to be iffy but think the rest should be decent. Any input appreciated. Just looking for a heads up before I make the drive in the morning.
I was in that area on Thurs for work and checked out Long. There was ice right up to the concrete boat ramp and my partner and I walked out a short way. No spud so I can't really help on thickness. We both jumped on the ice a bit and it didn't give but we weren't very far from shore (<10').
I was thinking of giving it a go on Saturday when I have a spud, if that helps.
Also there was no one fishing on either Long or Union when I was there Thurs afternoon.
I checked a lake near there today and still had a good 6" of clear ice. USE YOUR SPUD THIS WEEKEND, if you don't have one go buy one! It may save your life.
The ice on Big Seven did not look good today. Shore ice was open in spots and there were quite a few dark spots on the snow where water was coming through. You could see them all over the lake.
Few of the bigger ones from Saturday. Found 4-7 inches Saturday, had to use dock to reach sheet, shore ice is horrible. Doubt spot is safe today. Walled Lake has an open area now from 13 mi to 14 mile road.
Any new updates appreciated. As I have lots of bait left from a outing on St clair today, if u have the itch for getting on last ice I can tell you there's a bar over by fairhaven we went out from and found 7 inches of ice everywhere we fished, fishing sucked though didn't bring anything home. Real cloudy low visibility water probably why it was poor. Since I have minnows and the gear loaded id like to give it another shot on a local inland lake, anyone seen anyone on union lake, Maceday? Any oakland ice updates appreciated
