Has anyone been on clear this year?  I heard rumors they are driving 4 wheelers out already.  Plan on fishing next weekend.

How is the ice on Little Mary?

Anyone been on Little Mary?  How is the ice?

Yes there is.  It is right at the end of the resort.

Thanks so much for the info. Will give that a try!

The best spot I can recommend taking kids is crystal lake in burnsville.  You might get one keeper gill, but you will be rebaiting their hook all day.  That is hard to beat considering its icefishing.  In between the public beach and island there's tons of little gills to keep kids entertained. (East side of lake that says park with beach)

Thank you for all the tips guys.  I most likely was using to big of presentations, and wasted half the day in a shallow bay.

That's a good reminder. I've enjoyed my visits there lately.   Assuming I can get my ATV over the ice on Black Bay, I'll stop by a time or two the next time that I'm up.

Thank you! Will give prior a try.

Paul, Is there a access to your area for ice fishing?  I guided a family from Chicago along with the kids this summer from Bug-Bee, I have taken these people out for several years.
