Does anyone have an update on Beebe? I'm thinking about going out there tomorrow.

I haven't been out there, but I can see it from 34 and there are people out there.  Most lakes around here are in that 7-9 inch ice range.

I was out on Beebe on 12/27. Ice was 6-7in thick then. No snow on the ice, so it should thicken up this week. Fished for eyes and didn't catch any.

Had 8" of ice on Schmidt lake yesterday. Late afternoon produced panfish action for the kids. Nothing over 8" long.  Others had similar reports.

Was out on Buffalo yesterday, 8"-10" of ice but the top was frozen slush. Bite was really really light, had to work for em! 

 

Fished Scmidt and Beebe on sun, 7"-9". Finding fish shallow right now, 8'-12'. Haven't had good luck deep.

We should be adding to those ice totals this week! Any vehicle sightings on the lakes yet? I'm guessing this weekend people will start driving out.

Monday on Buffalo there was a minivan and light pickup.  Ice was 9" at the thickest.

Clear Lake by Watkins had about 10 trucks on it the other day. I don't know about ice thickness, but I didn't see anybody swimming.

So will this be categorized as 2nd ice rather than 1st ice?   ha.  The wind will determine if we get ice again or not.

Gen 2 ice!  Boy with this wind, everything in the county should be open by now.

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.

      Ice condition didn't change much in the last week as shown in the McKinley Park photo from today.  The holes in my house froze all the way down in the last six days; 40 inches of ice now.  I drilled my two holes 24 inches and cleared the shavings out before reaching water.  Much cleaner way in a permanent house.   Fishing was pretty good today.  Caught two 24" walleyes, including the 5#-7oz fatty pictured.  Also caught a 19 incher.  Best bite was from 11 to noon.  Much better action with chubs than shiners today.  Never tried the pike suckers I had.   Good luck fishing the last weekend this winter.  Going to be very windy Friday, but drifting shouldn't b a problem since there is no loose snow on the lake.  Saturday and Sunday look to be very warm.  Still about 35 houses left out from McKinley Park.

      Too bad she’s after big game when she leaves home.  Your one eyed trouser trout might not lure her in. 😉
