What about the ice on Martin lake?

I see people are going out on Linwood, but anyone know what the ice is like on Martin?

Do u fish Martin often thru the ice?? I head out their a few times during the winter and last year I didn't do so well,... just curious what species you targeted in Martin and how you did... I mostly fished right out from the launch to the right along that point sort of.... Good luck!

I know people have been fishing out in front of the old beach on the west side of the lake. I live acrss the street from the lake, but unnfortunately I haven't had a chance to get out there yet to see how much ice there is. Hopefully this weekend.

Crappies are pretty much the species most targeted om Martin. You will tend to pick up a some walleyes fishing for the crappies especially during the dawn and dusk periods. In fact, you can darn near count on two to three walleyes every time the sun sets. It's like clock work.

Good luck fishing!

I don't fish it very often. Martin lake is halfway between my house and a friend that I go ice fishing with every now and then. We go there instead of Linwood because the average crappies that we catch there seem a little nicer size than the average linwood crappie. Although I think you catch more crappies at Linwood. The walk is shorter on Martin also. I fish on the west side also.

I have never caught a walleye there but I know people that have. I don't even get to that lake untill about 10 pm. Fishing at that time can be slow. I have had better luck fishing Lake George at that time of night but I can't get my friend to drive that far at that time of night.
