Heading up for one last ice trip. Got my little late season lakes to hit. Normally they produce late ice but who knows. Hopefully ice holds out till after the weekend.    :happy1:

Made it out yday PM & couldn't reach the bottom of the ice with the handle on my scoop. Shoreline over at the neighbors was still pretty good too. Warmup comin though starting ~ Thursday or Friday from what I hear. Couple little nords & some 4-5" perch was about it.

Tuesday afternoon, shoreline over at the neighbors was still good when I came off ~ 4:30. Tried to check the ice depth but the tape I had didn't work very well. I couldn't hook the bottom of my hole with the handle on my scoop though & that's about 18". When I cut my holes it didn't act like good clear ice though. Yeah, I seen Sundin's latest report yday.

Went out again yday pm & even left the bay to check my spot across from the PA. Couldn't find the crib up there as I had a different GPS. Had to of been close though. I did find 15" of what looked like almost all good clear ice, it was closer to 14" in our bay.  The shoreline between us & the neighbor is starting to go as there's some bulrushes there. Must've been a dozen wheelers :doah: :sad: out on the hotspot broadcast by the new resort owners when I came back in the bay ~3. I won't be real disappointed to see that come to an end, might be today even. Oh yeah, tiny perch & 4-5 maybe picklers.

 :tut: Not at Lakewood, neighbor came up yday ~ 5 & he went over to the resort to get some ice last night. He said there were 18 guys in the lodge :drinking: & they had a pile of :fish2:. The neighbor thought they could've even have been over their limit. :scratch: :doah: They've been splitting into groups & fishing different lakes. He was told they'd been  :fishing: Bowstring, Third River, Little Cutfoot & here mostly. Only seen 2 go out late afternoon yday here & 3 wheelers went out early today but they came back in ~ 10 after the wind picked up some more.

Most of the crew stayin at the resort was back out here by ~ 5 yday again. Pretty windy without a portable, hard to tell if you had a bite. Think a lot of 'em were here by late Thursday so they may be headed back home today, we'll see.

 :scratch: No sign of 'em this morning, neighbor said he let the dogs out ~ 7 & they were loadin up then. Sounded like all they really did out here yday was :toast: & pretend they were  :fishing:. Did find a couple Wisconsin pickups at the 35 access this AM, they were 25-30 yds out front with an auger. Seen 'em on 35 going east on our way back.

Light rain since ~ 5 here, that'll speed up the process. Ice out could easily be 2 weeks ahead of last year IMO. :crazy:

Got back from our last ice trip of the year and it was a very good trip. We fished for crappies the first day and quit at 20 as that is what we wanted between the three of us. Yesterday we fished sunnies and quit at 30 as again that is what we wanted to take back. Caught a lot of fish with a lot of sorting but we were not bored as the bite was pretty much constant. We had 14" on the first lake and 17" on the other one. With the rain forecast this week it should be over but my last two trips were really good fishing wise. Ready for open water.      :happy1:

Not Little Turtle but I don't really want to throw the names out on the web as we had the lakes all to ourselves this trip. But I do share names in private, especially when I have a few beverages in me.       :laugh:

Don't look like there's much melting goin on here today except maybe down at the little bridge. Got to be 50-75 yds of open water down there. I'd think the rest should be gone in the next couple days.
