It's suppose to warm-up considerably by Friday.  Just how bad will the lake conditions be.  Was not up there during the last warm-up but some some pics and videos.  Will we be looking at the same mess.  I'm always concerned driving on the ice.  should I be more concerned considering the likely conditions?  Fished last weekend off Adrians road.  23" of ice.  Fishing was slow at best.  Plan to go with sleds this weekend.  Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

You will be fine with sleds, studded would be even better yet.  I would Imagine that the roads will be getting pretty beat by the weekend, especially by the later part of the weekend but with snowmobiles you can just stay off the main roads. 

 

Good luck!

Jigemup,  thanks for the message.  I am going to drive most of the way pulling a 8x16 wheelhouse.  The direction you mentioned is exactly where I was going to go.  Glad to hear you did well.  Hope it continues!

      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. 😉
