From the NE side. I caught a pike threw the ice once it was a blast. Couldn’t imagine seeing a big Muskie coming through. Not really a big ice fisherman as I don’t own any gear. But I do get out with some buddies here and there only if we get some ice.

When you say NE, is that New England or NE side of Michigan?

I'd like to place a take-out order. 😀

Walleye opener is a week and a half away for me, and for once, I'm pretty much ready. The warm weather we had last week destroyed our ice within 3-4 days and I was able to get my boat out on Saturday. Water surface temps were already surprisingly high at 51-58 degrees. That's crazy for a lake that had safe ice a week before.

I spent a few hours poking around in the dark, spotting spawning walleyes in the shallows and just generally enjoying the last warm weather for a couple of weeks.

I hear you Scott, Thursday, prior to Easter, we still had 3 feet of snow in the yard.

By Easter Monday evening, I had grass showing.

Covered again now, got another foot Sunday/Monday.

Melting fast though.

Well be small boat/small lake for opener on the 20th.

Big boat, big water, a couple of weeks later.

Good luck, Mate !

It was the second terrible winter in a row for ice down here. We only had walkable ice for about 10 days back in January during a cold snap where it was down below 0 for 3-4 days in a row.

I got out 8 times between 1/15 and 1/26. Caught a lot of fish, but they were mostly little dinker gills.
