Ice Fishing Conditions are Improving

Today there was quite a few fisherman in Misery Bay and a few on Horshoe Pond.  I heard that at least a couple people fell through the thin ice, so if you go out be extremely careful and have your hand spikes ready.  You can fall through the ice even if it is thick.  I personally would recommend waiting another couple days before going on the ice. 

The bluegills are biting really well in Misery with a few nice crappies being caught also.  As of this writing, the ice thickness is around 3 inches thick.  The rest of Presque Isle Bay is not fishable.

This weekend will be huge for Misery bay and there will probably be quite a few fisherman off of the foot of Chestnut and first and second parking lots on Presque Isle.

The weather may warm up again and ruin the ice on Monday of next week.  Hopefully, the temperatures will stay in the 30's so we don't lose too much ice.  The rest of the next week should be cold enough to form new ice.  Good luck fishing and be safe.
