[#0000FF]Yeah, when there is floating ice it pays to be alert and cautious. Just ask Mike.
When I started it was open out to about 200 yards from the marina. And the ice was solid from out in front of Eagle Beach all the way to the north dike. But as soon as the north wind kicked up there was ice blowing across where I was fishing...within a few yards of the entrance to the marina. I could see that there was some open water out from the north dike and I expected that it would blow toward the south enough to really open it up.
Not likely to see any kind of ice cover after the next week or so. Wanna get together and gang up on the fishies somewhere? Fishing small, low and slow is the pattern right after iceout. Almost like ice fishing until the water warms up a bit.
