jguenette31 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2020 I'm looking for places to ice fish that you can access by walking on the lake (I don't have a ski doo). I was told to try silver harbour, I'm just wondering how the ice is and how far out you have to go? Any information is appreciated. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nnev 70 Report post Posted January 10, 2020 Usually need to wait until Feb for that area to ice over.... if it does at all. We've been pretty mild this year, unless we get a brutal cold snap soon it may not get you into laker territory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jguenette31 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2020 Okay thank you, any other places not far from town that can just walk out on to lake and catch anything? Lake trout, walleye, perch or anything. Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Canoehead 69 Report post Posted January 15, 2020 I was at Silver Harbor once on a very windy day and my buddy and I sat in the car to finish our coffees before heading out...looking out towards the giant...noticed the ice starting to move up and down way out there. Sat in the car and watched the ice all break up and wash in over the next 30 minutes or so. was about 8" of ice . Couldn't even tell there was any open water out there to begin with. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ottoman82 41 Report post Posted January 21, 2020 Still open water. You can hear the ice crashing in the wind and waves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishog 215 Report post Posted January 31, 2020 Someone was walking out yesterday. Heard they caught a few fish but never heard what kind. Info came from a visitor to the landing taking pictures. Said ice was 3-5 inches. Not thick enough for me. One strong wind and I have seen it break up in a flash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishman1 164 Report post Posted February 2, 2020 Had a friend tow his ice shack out there one winter, used it for a month or so, fished, left and came back the next day, the ice was gone, broke away and the shore, shack went with it never t be seen again. Be careful on the big lake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CountDupu 28 Report post Posted February 8, 2020 Anyone know ice conditions with the last few days of cold ? Worth even driving out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thefishleclair 175 Report post Posted February 8, 2020 My bro went out on Friday. Said ice was waving and made him motion sick. It was also cracking lots. It’s not a place to play on till it’s locked solid. Don’t take much to break it up if the wind is the right way. 1 Quote Grumpas' Baits Check it out on FB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CountDupu 28 Report post Posted February 15, 2020 I was out last sunday there was 8" of ice. Few ice ridges to cross and at the time were popping and cracking pretty good. I spoke with a buddy who was out yesterday and was told it was much thicker than when we had gone and seemed safer to him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ottoman82 41 Report post Posted February 19, 2020 I was out tuesday and the bay seems locked up pretty decent. There was no movement or waving of ice. The first pressure ridge is passable just to the left from shore. There was 14-17" of ice in various spots all the way out to 90 FOW. The ice is partially covered with a light skiff of snow so it is slippery. Fishing was good and I was targeting lake trout. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
