I know this question has been beaten to death probably, but tonight I'm packing up the truck to head there and was wondering if anyone's been out of the north landing around 3rd and 2nd point areas the past day or two and what the ice thickness is like? Still in the 6" range or has this weather made it worse? Any bad slush?

Thanks for any and all replies.

Was out on there yesterday and the ice is okay all the way to second. Ice hasn't changed much in the last week out there.

Good luck

Fished today with pretty good success,alot of sunny but needed to thin them out. Caught all fish in mud bay at 13fow. Tried numerous other places with no luck. We marked alot os suspended fish in 30fow, but caught none. I threw everything at them and nothing worked.Ice was 8-9 inches everywhere we cut holes,looks pretty good yet.I didnt get over to 2nd or 3rd point so no idea of ice depth. Bakers bay-9 inches-mud bay 8-9 inches and alot of 4-wheelers running around and pulling bigger houses.For the panfish we used just about every custom jigs and spins jig with out and with a piece or whole waxie and tried some Jb jigs and a couple others. Most fish were caught with a white Ratso or a gold headed nuclear ant ,with or without waxies. Those wiggly little plastics with that awesome tail sure seem to be the ticket.Most sunfish I dropped the bait to the bottom then slowly lifted up 4-6 inches and then they would follow.I didnt jig after that and that seemed to be the best for me today.

Tough to beat a wiggly tail, hey Tom?

      There’s critters out and about.  Get yourself some cellular trail cams and you’ll see.

      One more day….. but I’m thinkin’ my guess was a little early…. For this year.

      It wouldn't be the first time I've heard the USS Skunked Again breaking ice! I left this morning, the rain really did a number to the ice. I'll bet the Partridge River will be open by the weekend.

      My yard is pretty open, but narrow. I think I'll be fine with reception in the areas I'm thinking. I try to keep the hill somewhat natural, but my wife wants to see the lake better. The video's I've watched, they have topped the trees and mounted the dish. I would this the swaying would affect the signal. Does Starlink help you with using WiFi for calling? My T-Mobile service sux at the cabin. Did you bury your cable?

      I'm on the wide part of the channel going in to Black Bay. We won't see Paul B. For years.

      Welcome back. Wow it's been since 2018 it looks like. Did you ever "I'm tightening up my footprint and want to build on my Bozeman lot on the Gallatin"?  😏

      You're probably right. This isn't official since I've already lost, but I'll make my supplemental guess for May 6th since it's still open. 😄   As long as I can snake my way along the shore and/or plow through some dark ice on the 8th, I'll be happy. I love aluminum boats!

      For all of my "problems" with getting a clear signal it's worth it. I can spend more time at the lake because I can work during the day and play or get things done at night. Toss in that I can record and watch a football/hockey/basketball game when I'm done at the end of the day....priceless.   Like your place, our property is more natural and I was worried about having to cut down a bunch of trees. I like that people have to get up close to see our place from the lake through the trees. Luckily I didn't have to do much to get enough a signal that works for me. If I needed to be on video calls, I probably would run the dish down to the shore to get a better view of the sky.   BTW - the main problem with mounting the dish on a tree is that the tree still has a canopy that will block the signal. The best option would be to top a tree and then mount it on the clear-cut top.
