It looks like it's capped? Of course, some thin clouds right over the middle of the lake. Either it's fresh ice or no ice through the middle of the big basin - for reference of open water, Shoal Lake is still wide open. A few different color views.

A few of the resorts had some f-book updates a few days ago that mentioned it was getting close. It has been nothing short of windy here for nearly the past 2 weeks.

Today's shot. Looks covered, some really rough stuff on the West side from Rocky to Stoney Point, big crack to Buffalo Point.

South wind is whipping about 20mph sustained right now.

Here's a picture sent from a friend near long point. It opened up a bit yesterday from the strong south wind. full-13620-51429-image.jpg

In the pics above why does 4-mile bay look like it's wide open? Is it still open?

Posted

While it looks darker/clearer than the rest, I don't believe 4 mile bay is open. I read reports from Wheeler's Point Resort that mentioned they were crossing the bay to check the lake ice on the other side of Pine Island.

That's what I figured V-man. Thanks. Sure does look odd though on those satellite images.

Looks pretty locked up. Maybe a crack by Rocky/Long point?

With last night, today and tonight's temps it should be pretty healed.

From what I've read, ATV/SxS traffic is starting on Friday. Call your resorts, check their websites or Facebook pages for up to the minute conditions. Be safe everyone!

Hey are those smaller lakes to the north and east of LOTW alot deeper or why are they still wide open?

There are a lot of deep shield lakes in that area, so that could be one of the reasons. Could be current as well.

Certainly looked locked up in front of our place. The wind sure was not nice to the ice this year. Lots of busted up ice piles out there as far out as I can see with binos.

No doubt jerkbait. The best way to describe it out from Morris Point is a bowl of corn flakes. Rough and loud, constantly breaking shards of ice.

      My last hide I gave to my Taxidermist friend to make what ever he liked out of it.   I've got a few fun Bear hunt stories to be told.  All 3 of us our first year stupidly tracking a blood trail in the dark together and getting lost, luckily smelled the bait making circles and got out. 🫣 Flash lights dying, deep in a swamp following a blood trail in the dark, the one who stayed at the bait called us back in!  We learned our second bear! Lol. 😞  Downing a wounded charging bear with the last bullet when tracking, no lie! 😬    Have had my fun!  🥳

      I remember that kegel… stuff….!   just finished my post work latte as a matter of fact!  Only the second case of those I’ve ever bought.     I’d get Mike something better.

      application has been submitted. 👍   Leech......i've shot my share of bear......it be nice to get another but not the end of the world if i dont. i get to spend time with my son...its just another way to get into the woods. i've been at it since about 1976......that rush when you walk up to the bait and see the logs scattered all over and bait gone just doesnt get old for me.   i had to get rid of 1 rug because of bad tanning. i have another rug, shoulder mount and made 3 pillows from 2 different bear hides. my biggest issue has become what to do with the hide....that seems more of a trophy then the meat. i inquired 1 year at the Alex decoy show when there were a couple hide guys there and they didnt seem to interested. 🙄 i have no other ideas for the hide.......approval from the wife is not even negotiable!!!!!

      aw that date is fine and maybe someday we will have beer!!!
    • Wanderer
      Something in May, like around Opener.  Could be white knuckles for boaters that weekend with the way things stalled out since the contest started and how thick it still is.   Highs in the 50’s coming but lows are around freezing and not a lot of wind in the extended forecast.   I’ll tell  ya what, if you change from 4/26 and it hits that date, I’ll buy ya some mythical FM beer.  And you know where you can find it. 😉. But don’t change on my account - this is still a free country!

      I caught the 10pm news the other night. They said that starting next week Minnesota will be above average for temps. I give them a 33% chance of getting that right.
    • smurfy

    • Mike89
