Looks REALLY ugly nearly all shoreline areas. Larger sheets look awfully dark.

I went fishing for a couple hours this afternoon...ice at Foss bridge area is getting soft under foot. Everyone was walking on. Saw one of those wilcraft units go by and you could almost see the ice move behind him when he went by..bout a foot thick but deteriating rapidly. I counted 47 parked trucks on the side of the highway. My ice season is done...it will be interesting if any of those folks give it a go this weekend.

Did you catch enough for supper ?

They are heading in and going to miss the best bite of the day. Although if they haven't caught a walleye yet there is a good chance they wouldn't if they had stayed.

We long poled it all day. Then walked out by my rental at 330. If walking, or maybe even ATV, I think you should be good until mid week. If walking, till next week for sure. There was a guy in a portable in the middle of pelican north of the bridge today. Personally, I think it's too cold for long poles yet. But, I heard channel a was good Monday. Wasn't too good today tho.

Maybe..lol. Wish I could have stayed longer to complete my limit but life gets in the way sometimes. Very fortunate to live in this neck of the woods to be able to fish within about 5-10 minutes of leaving town..do a little bit of fishing and head home back to reality. Thought I would need the ice cleats..and although I had them on...really didn't need them as ice was not hard and slippery at all... soft and spongy..stay safe out there ppl!
