Well, I know that you normally don't harpoon on Sand & Bowstring too.

I grew up looking down a spear hole.  It is fun to see and experience.  I think if you are going to be on one of the smaller lakes or bays you should be ok even with this warm weather.   With temps at night in the 20s it is still making ice but just SLOW.  Even though it takes longer that slow building ice is better ice.

well, unfortunately.......i wont be going. got a report from a feller from Grand Rapids. 

here is what he said. 3-4 inches 50 yards out from the landing on split hand.

4 1/2 inches on shallow medium size lakes around  north star and graves. and found 2 1/2 inches over 28 ft of water.

little Winie had 2inches at the landing!!

i dont care how many or how big of any kinds of fish........aint worth getting dead over. 

[Cooperman]

Good decision Glenn!

[fishwidow]

Few places I’d rather not be than on 2 1/2 inches of ice over 28 feet of water.

[glenn57]

Good decision Glenn!

First permanent house showed up on the ice today. Shallow part of the lake, probably about 5 feet. I was outside about 5:30 this morning listening to the lake making ice.

Barring no snow you should be good by then Glenn.  Sounds like we might get some ice making weather for a few days.

its one of the few things i really look forward too!!!!! that first time each year sitting in my spearhouse. watching life under the ice is soothing and funny at times.

  The blizzard & -20 stuff doesn't usually happen........................until he's been up there a day or 2.

Gee hopefully he has his house set up and then just might be to much snow to leave.  Hate when you have to spend a couple more days...fishing.
