SUGAR LAKE

[CPTNTIM]

Is the ice off of Sugar yet?

CPTNTIM,On Tuesday, it was over 100 yards out on the co rd 7 side landing, I would think it should be open or at least mostly open. If I get a chance after work I can check it out. Unless someone else has more info. Good Luck. Lynn

As of this morning looking from the north side it did not appear to be completely open. Not too long though. If the wind picks up today should be gone by tommorow.

Looked good this afternoon. 4-5 boats at the north landing!

[CPTNTIM]

Lynno did you make by sugar after work? I would like to get out on it on sunday. What do you think

Hello all,

Was out on Sugar yesterday. There was ice in the middle of the lake early, then blew off completely by mid afternoon.

Three of us caught approx 60 crappies. Average size kept was about 10", with the biggest being 11 3/4". Good bite from morning until 1 pm.

Good luck

Thanks for the report Lynn! Does anyone know who puts the docks in and when they do it? It's kind of a pain launching my boat without something to tie it to.

[Lynno62]

i do not know the answer to that, but guessing if they are DNR landing's it is the DNR, and now that the ice is out I would think hope It would be in a week or so. I will keep my eyes open and post any updates. Good luck everyone.Lynn

Whomever owns the landing normally puts them in. Usually DNR, county or city workers, and or private. I think they should be in a week or so if the weather stays decent.

[CPTNTIM]

Lynn you have mail.

Went out yesterday, about 75-100 sunnies, nothing worth keeping. No crappies, a few accidental bass. Saw 2 muskies in the water, a northern, about 30 turtles, 2 snappers about the size of a garbage can lid. At least it kept me busy.

[CPTNTIM]

What walkable ice????? I was in Disney World the 23rd thu the 30th what happened here? Walkable ice, are you kidding?

[Captain B.R.K]

I highly doubt it though the weather we have had in the past few days would make a guy think there could be ice

No ice CptnTim, just open water for however far you can see!!
