Shoreline water is visible from the road most areas around the island and over by Wallsburg, but people still out fishing[fishin].............not me! I am heading to DC Fri, but heading to Charleston Bay. Info there is, ice is good, but fishing has been sporadic.

I was there yesterday. Ice was solid all over. Fished between the Island and the boat ramp in 49' of water and iced 24 perch and 4 bows. Fished from 7:30 to 1:00.

Fished south of the island on Tuesday 4 to 6 inches of ice. Iced a little over 30 perch in 4 hours. Best two lures were a Lindy Rattl Flyer red glow 1/16oz and a Custom JIgs and Spin Diamond jig - it's a small profile but heavy jig. Tipped both with waxies. 40 to 45 feet depths. Flasher marked trout coming through all day at 20 foot depths but I left my trout gear in the truck. Doh!!
