Fishible Ice in Michigan

[davetclown]

Its been a long time since I have seen fishable ice in south east michigan, But it is here, we have pockets of fishable ice.

now this dose not mean that the ice is safe, I found that the fishable ice is spotty, any where from a crust to about 4 inches.

Ice depends greatly on your lakes configuration, so pack you spuds and ropes and items of safty before venturing out.

Here is my first pre christmas ice bass in nearly a decade. tho it falls 4 inches shy of being table fair it sure is a great pleasure to see.

tho the bite was slow with a hight presure system over head keeping the boromiter gage stuck on top, I did manage to get dinner for one, A real treat sine last years ice was poor at best, and I had not been able to get out on the water all summer.

these are my personal favorite table fair.

Again, it is a pleasure to be able to put out an ice fishing report...
