Took a half day off yesterday to fish. Not smart. :Doh: Ice at Emerald & Smith Ridge 3-6", at least. I was hoping I could at least get on the water. I think that ice is going to be there for a while.

Rain today/tonight may help but another front coming this weekend.:banghead
A buddy from work said he say a boat going down lake near ramp 1. He says he didn't see any ice but lake was smooth. I told him it could be ice keeping water calm. I want to fish and have cabin fever like everyone else, but not worth damaging boat or getting hurt over.
I will be glad when this weather breaks. A winter like had last year would be good ever year. Just think all gore said a whole generation wouldn't see snow.

I hear that's why they're calling this the "Winter of Al Gore" :RoflQuote:

yes, but it is thin and a boat did unload there yesterday. He also broke a narrow trail out that should speed up the thaw
As of 11:30 Holmes bend has thawed as far as you can see both ways. Still froze from white oak to 551 bridge
good news thanks
Has it all melted off to the 551 bridge yet?

I plan to fish Sunday on the Robinson creek end. I will post a report either way. Doesn't help now, but I am going! 😬🙏
I went yesterday and had to break ice out in front of Holmes Bend. By the end of the day it was completely ice free. Water temp was 39 with a little color to it

^^Yeah, what he said^^
Attachment 287571No ice today! Fished out of Smith Ridgr for 3 hours this afternoon. Near the ramp, water was pretty muddy and I got no bites. Water in pretty good shape up past Emerald. Caught 6 keepers and 1 short. Nice quality. It was good to get back on the water. Water temp 43. Caught fish in 22 & 11 FOW.
