I live on the west side just south of squaw point and the ice is about half way across our bay. The east side is still wide open. We need a calm cold night for this part of the lake to freeze all the way across.

Pretty windy lately. Gull is mostly wide open. The bays have a little ice. The lakes on the upper chain are gaining ice fast and some guys are out fishing. Sounds like they are catching too!

As of Saturday, it was at 4" on the north end. Guessing it probably made a couple more the last few days. There's a pressure ridge running from Dutchman's Bluff over past the Flagpole Bar.

Out on South end last night for first time. 7 inches where I was near Hunters Point. Didn't get set up until 4:30 and caught 3 nice walleyes in first 15 minutes and lost a good one half way up to the hole. Fished until 6 pm and no action after 5 pm.

I live on the east side overlooking the main bay. Saw the first house on the east side of the main body today.....but can see a few houes on the other side for a couple days. All have been closer to shore. Saw a few in Hole in the Day Bay just in the past few days. I do not have any reports on thickness. No vehicles on the main part of the lake yet.

Lots of vehicles on North Long and a few on Round Lake.....and lots of houses on both.

I was there last week out of ernies and there was 9-11 inches. made it out to bowtie and 11 inches there is a big ice heave that runs from sandy all the way to around stone boathouse. There are multiple heaves by quarterdeck. Never made it out on north side

How's the current ice report looking? Thinking about coming up Wednesday or Thursday? Ice thickness near home in the day bay? How much snow on ice?

Not sure about hole in the day area, but south end has 12-14" where we drilled. Some full size trucks venturing out. Little to no snow on the ice.

Thanks for all the updates guys. I'm heading up Wednesday for a couple days of fishing, and can't decide what to bring. Portable or permanent? Any opinions? It's a half ton truck with a 14' ice castle.

I would say permanent. I would say by Wednesday it will be 16" of ice on Hole in the day bay. We had 13" yesterday a.m. when we left.

I've only been fishing LOW so far this year with mixed results. We are thinking of not driving so far for the long new years weekend. How has the fishing been on Gull this ice season? I would assume with the big temperature swings the pressure ridges are quite active?

We had a great start to the season. But over the last week the bite has tapered off. we're still getting 2-3 fish per evening but they are nice fish. The ice is great. So far no significant ice heave problems but that changes daily. Just take your time out there.
