brookiebuster 117 Report post Posted January 24, 2023 Some people were out there last week but I definitely wouldn’t risk it yet. I heard from someone that there was 4” of ice but don’t quote me on that. Quote "Whack em' and stack em',kill em' and grill em'" Ted Nugent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnr 47 Report post Posted January 24, 2023 I lived on Lake Superior for 13 years at Mackenzie Beach. It is normal to see open water between the south east tip of caribou Island to Conmee point at Mackenzie until February . It is also normal to see 6 inches of good solid ice disappear quickly with one good southwest wind off the main lake. I wouldnt be rushing things ....Ice will come and go till the middle of February . 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scandiman 114 Report post Posted January 25, 2023 I never venture out towards Caribou even with a strong ice year, not worth the fishing compared to where I wander haha. Mckenzie beach area is a much different animal, so to speak, than the far east portion of the bay with respects to ice build up. In a good year, I am fishing on Bays End by the first week of January. On a not so great year like this year, a little later. All that said, I am very careful with checking the ice as I go no matter where I am during first ice conditions.

scandiman 114 Report post Posted January 29, 2023 There is no access from Sare road, period. The owners were fed up with the way it was being treated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
