I was on Audubon last weekend on 8 inches of ice but there was ALOT of open water. I think I am going to sit this weekend out. Should be much better ice by next weekend. Good luck and be safe.

^Agree completely Sluggo...stopped by Lake Darling this afternoon after work down on the south end by the dam...lot of open water...2 guys out fishing, talked to one of the guys said the ice is 6-7 inches in spots but looked pretty sketchy...I'm gonna wait a week as well...cold temps comin next week!

Yea open water makes me nervous lol the 3 hr drive to bottineau is worth it this will be my last chance to get out before new years ... last weekend there were vehicles and single axil ice castles out on metigoshi

Be safe...have fun!

Oley...I didn't run up to Grano yesterday but if you go north just be careful over the channel and under the bridge.

My son drove by Grano Tuesday morning. Open water under the bridge and lots of open spots all over the lake. Got half a haircut Tuesday afternoon and the gal that cuts my hair told me her husband caught 3 northern shore fishing by the bridge on Monday.

Think i'm gonna hold off over the weekend. Warm air and wind just isn't worth it. I can wait til next weekend hopefully get my kids out for the first time!

Nice lazorwolf! We didn't have much luck at metigoshi at all. Guess we were doing it wrong haha. Went to nearby by lake and got a bunch of perch and a few pike.
