I am sitting on about five inches of ice northern part of skeg. Slowest I have ever been on this lake.

Don't forget ice cleats

When I looked at the camera for Bear Lake, I could see what looked like a shanty out on the ice. From what John has been saying that's pretty daring.

I fished Starvation over the weekend. I went in the later afternoon. Guys were fishing pretty close to the dock, 20-40 yards out, maybe 18-20 fow. I think there's a weed bed right around there. I fished a spot a touch further out, ice is a solid 4 inches. I was not able to find the trout but got a perch and very small walleye. The other guys on the bed were hitting trout, not sure what they were using though.

Conservation officers were out, they said Skeg was super busy over the weekend, i'm glad I chose starvation. Much quieter and very easy on and off.

I was using wax warms on a pink jig, and a blue teardrop jig. I think the trout are probably hiding in that weed bed IF they are more shallow otherwise I bet they go deep?

I also saw a spot where there was a bunch of corn left on the ice...

Chumming with corn.

So Starvation lived up to its name?

I'm sure a better fisherman than I (which is most lol) as I definitely saw people catching.

I wondered about chumming but i'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to do that.

There was people out on Big Bradford in Waters Friday and Saturday. They were fishing, I'm not sure about catching. They seemed to be moving around quite a bit especially Saturday.

They were all fishing towards the point at the Northern part of the lake. I tried to warn the first few groups that walked past my place that there was open water down there a few days prior but it didn't do any good. I talked to one guy on his way back in that said some places were only 1.5 inches of ice.

People are crazy.....

You sure you have the right Bear Lake? I wouldn't think Bear Lake Kalkaska would have a weather cam.

Nope. It's the cam I have set up.

Was on Bear Lk this morning. About 4" to 5" of ice. Around 20 people. Haven't been on that Lk in at least 15 yrs. Was putting first line in, the line wasn't going down very well, fish on! Putting in the second pole, looked like the line was hugging the side of the hole. Fish on! Fished for about 2 more hours during witch had two fish on, lost both. One of the other guys wanted two leave. We left. Ended with 1 rainbow and 1 brown.
