Question Any Sag. Bay updates?

Does anyone have any updates on the conditions of Sag. Bay after that lovely weather yesterday?

I took a quick drive around today. They are still getting out of Linwood and crossing the pressure crack, so I assume all is ok.

As of today I havent heard of any signifigant cracks opening up anywhere but off of state park. I heard that crack was opened up about 10-15 foot in spots but guys where still crossing a bit more down towards the river. As far as linwood a ton of guys have been in for minnows and they have been saying that its looking good out there. Just watch the sandbars and current areas because a few quads have gone through out there in the last few days. This past weekend we had great reports from 12-20 foot of water 2-4miles out depending on what roads you are running out from. We had such a huge weekend we are still trying to recover from it by restocking right now.. I bet we sold over a thousand dojigers/pimples this past weekend and just got our second large order in.. but the one that everyone is asking for are those dave genz flying jigs!! We dont have them right now but hopefully friday we will have them back in.

So linwood rd. or kitchen rd. seems to be the safe 'go' for the weekend, eh? That's where I'll be ......as always, worrying about the cracks.... Provinding the winds stay down like they are today we should be good to go.....opinions anyone?

Updates are very much appreciated as we'll be heading up from flint to get out there at 6am saturday morning.

Thanks and good luck on the bay this weekend!!....I've yet to put an 'eye on the ice this winter....I can feel it coming!

The Black Hole is where it's happening, a couple of my Dad's buddies went out the other day, and hit 23 fish, 4-7lbs, and lost one monster. Be careful as always!

It's nothing but bare ice, and watch the cracks, they are very active...
