On my travels today I got a chance to pull into a couple of spots. First was the DNR launch by the spillway, it had some slush but no ice. Several guys pulled in while I was there. I guess they were hoping as I was to see some ice. I headed south to the library and saw 3 guys on the docks. I watched watched for a while and they caught a few. But again no ice. I hope this wind dies down so it will form. Anybody check Cotton Rd lately?

[GOTCHA]

ImaRedneck, just wondering do you drive a white truck ?

 

[BROWN ITS DOWN]

I will check cotton and behind the raft tomorrow, I live at 23 and jeff so its only 10 min if that.

This darn wind will slow down the ice forming process. I'm not much of an ice fisherman but I wouldn't mind the opportunity to give it a quick try!

 

[ImaRedneck]

Gotcha, Thats me. Where did we cross paths at? If your like me you cant wait to get out.

 

[GOTCHA]

ImaRedneck, we crossed paths at the crocker launch, I had the white F-250 with the fishing poles in the back bed sticking out, you followed me out south bound on jefferson..

 

[ImaRedneck]

Small world aint it. I wonder how many Michigan Sportsman you pass everyday. Im sure we frequent the same spots more than we know.

 

[WALLEYE MIKE]

John, gotta love you attitude.

Its gonna take awhile for LSC to make some good ice. There are many gas pockets to look out for and also the wind will play a big part. I'd say at least to Jan. 20 or so except for shore ice.

The raft will be first and Cotton rd not far behind. Crocker area a little later.

Shore ice forming 1/4 mile out from 9 mile. That was at 2130 hrs. 1-6-4 and could change with the wind. The Marinas were icing up nicely except for long stretches of canal west to east.

Thursday........Metro basin..... It'll happen!!

 

[bounty hunter]

Private canals by metro on Sunday I hope..

 

[Gone Fishing]

Hey Jay, will you be fishing by anyones house that we both know? I might give our friend a call and see if Paul and I can use his access Sunday.

 

[bounty hunter]

That would be him..He told me this morning the whole canal was ice and even the clinton river was iced up so looks like this weekend will be safe.

 

[Gone Fishing]

Cool Jay, maybe I'll get a chance to meet you if I get the OK.

 

[Captain]

Hey John and Jay we'll be there in the dark on Sat. to secure some holes, that is if we don't jump the pond and go on a recon mission of a new canal system over there.......

 

[bounty hunter]

We may be out Sayurday after work for the evening and if it is going good Sunday too.
