Wasn't sure where to go today with all the snow we received this week, so Ira and I decided to try fishing from shore after seeing how much open water there was yesterday at the South marina channel. Water level is continuing to raise, here is a pic of one of the docks, the last time we were there, last Fall, the water level was between the outer dock and the first slip.

We walked out to the channel and fished for a little over 4 hrs and caught 4 cats up to 21", using fligs and chub meat. I took this pic looking out the channel into the Bay. Just since yesterday the ice has melted at least 1/4 mile out from the mouth of the channel, see pics from my drive by report from yesterday, to see how much it melted in one day.

Won't be long now before the lake is open.
