Converse Bay is open with no ice. Shoreline going north to the ferry all open of ice. Was way to windy there for any ice to form well. I'll be on the water March 12th.

I am hoping to get started on March 20th. One more weekend of ice fishing this weekend, work the following weekend but hopefully I can get on the water after that.

Definitely time to put the shanties away. The red one stayed in the same spot a little too long. It's out and in a safe spot now but it easily could have gone thru. And to think the owner was in it just last Sunday on the Retreat Meadows. Ice is going fast in the Hinsdale area.

Not even in the ball park of being ready. Got a new TM to install, an electronics upgrade in the bow to put in, and new cranking battery to buy/install. Ahhhhh. Thought I had way more time.....

Sunday was great, I had a ball, thanks for sharing! I think I'll hit the causeway with rod and reel this week, maybe a few of those big perch will hit a lure. Way to go catching two 14" Master Angler yellow perch....in two waters....in two days! Unbelievable.

Brian, Good times on the ice this year. Hope we have some good times together on the water too. You should be able to get into some of those big perch from the causeway so long as those pesky bass don't distract you I forgot to give you those Traps! TWICE! Guess you'll just have to come and fish with me in the boat And no, of course I did not plan it that way
