Does anybody have any new updates on the ice conditions on Lake Marion? I was thinking about heading out for a few hours in the late morning/early afternoon tommorow? I've had much success with Northerns on tips ups with BIG sucker minnows in years past. Not sure which portable i will be taking..but we will probably be in a white ford explorer..so feel free do give us a hello.

Haven't been down that way for a while, but last year I drove by that lake all the time, and the ice was weird sometimes, opening up in a few places in the middle of winter, etc, so be careful. Always good numbers of pike, as long as you get away from the crowd of anglers perched in front of the access.

i was out on marion today and the ice was between 7 and 8 inches straight out from the boat launch, I havnt had much luck yet one nice northern last sunday, but thats about it. Where do you go fish the lake, because i havnt been having much luck at all this year?

I've fished the lake in the winter with the rest of the crowd near the boat launch. Most of the fish i caught last year were in under 8 feet of water, near weeds. I went to the right of the launch usually, near where the park is.

      I think it all helps to create motion and confusion to keep their attention away from the blinds.  The hurricanes seemed pretty important though.  6 of them per spread and moved around dependent on wind direction.  Some tall silo socks mixed in with them too.  Kill hole in the middle with a few decoys clustered over the e call.  That was about 25 yards from the blinds.  7-8 batteries to run everything.  2000 decoys per spread.   I wasn’t the shot caller.  We were taking them at about 40 yards on average but I believe we could’ve gotten a lot of them feet down.  We all remember the single Ross’ that broke off from a group of snows hovering at 100+ yards and took the elevator all the way down to its demise.  The shot was called just before it lit but we were all sure if it was left alone, the audience above would’ve joined.  It was mesmerizing to watch to watch how much they work a spread without flapping their wings much.   These pics were waiting for them to come down closer.  They did.

      Never hunted conservation season. Actually get birds feet down or longer shots? I've been running battery operated flappers but does the rotary machine really help?
