KalebG 23 Report post Posted February 16, 2021 I’d be careful around the ice ridges. They were open today... around 2:30pm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnZ 66 Report post Posted February 16, 2021 How open were the ridges? Anyone come back later know if they pushed back together Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KalebG 23 Report post Posted February 16, 2021 It varies...Some spots were probably 10 feet accross, a couple feet deep. The narrower sections were open maybe 1-3 foot gaps... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adam_k 19 Report post Posted February 17, 2021 How much ice is out in the laker waters? If I were to walk out do I need my power auger or can I just bring my hand auger cheers adam_k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KalebG 23 Report post Posted February 17, 2021 There’s about 18” of ice 1/2km from the launch. Just watch your step around the ice ridge. You’ll have to pick a spot with the narrowest gap. It was open yesterday 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Porkchop21 34 Report post Posted February 24, 2021 How far do I have to walk out from the docks in order to get into Whitefish territory? And do I go straight out or go right towards the island? What depth? I have never fished out there, only visited the area during the summer. Would like to take the kids out and try for Whitefish over Lakers. Thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bin fishin lots 125 Report post Posted February 24, 2021 I've had luck closer to st Mary Island for whitefish and herring. 40-60 fow for whitefish. And the herring are right under the ice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
