Super User MIbassyaker Posted February 28, 2020 Super User Posted February 28, 2020 First week of March is my usual time to do some scouting. Starting Sunday, the weather projection all week has us getting some consistent sun, with temps above freezing almost continuously day and night. 1 Quote

Good Luck - and it's interesting how different it can be a little further north ~ Still dead of winter type deal here A-Jay Quote
Dangerfield Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 We've gotten roughly 2.5' since yesterday afternoon and being a stones throw from Lake Simcoe. I get a ton of lake effect. Quote

Got 4-5ft of snow next to my driveway and lakes with real roads on them you can drive a semi on because the ice is so thick, I’ll trade you open water and a 1/4 inch of snow any day Quote
Ksam1234 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 All the snow is gone here, been 45-50 degrees! The next few days show mis 40s and low 50 and sunny... tomorrow I’m re spooling all my rods! You know the time is almost here when you start re spooling Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted March 5, 2020 Super User Posted March 5, 2020 This weekend is going to be gorgeous - come-on ice-melt. Saturday Sunny, with a high near 55. South wind 10 to 15 mph. Saturday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 43. South wind around 10 mph. Sunday Increasing clouds, with a high near 59. South southwest wind around 10 mph becoming west northwest in the afternoon. 1 Quote
Do1982 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 I was in on page 2. We have had warm weather with temps above 50 for a week or so now. Our ice is unsafe at this point so I am hoping it's gone by sunday so I can get out for a few hours! The lakes and stuff around here will be frozen for a little longer yet but the river where I like the to start the year at may just be open. Here's hoping! Quote

My local club waters are 90% ice free and I actually did some shore fishing there today. No bass, but did land a couple of trout, so I'm a happy camper or should I say happy angler. 3 Quote
Super User Boomstick Posted March 5, 2020 Super User Posted March 5, 2020 Well the weather on many days is around the same temperature that it thawed out last year. Add in the fact that the ice never got very thick this year to begin with, I think it will be thawed fairly soon. I drove by the first spot to thaw, and the spot by the culvert under the causeway is almost melted. It shouldn't be too long after that before that portion of the lake, the shallow side is thawed. 1 Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted March 5, 2020 Super User Posted March 5, 2020 Did a little scouting this week during our warm spell to a few little lakes that usually warm quickly -- still mostly covered except right on the bank. Walked the riverbank for an hour and a half where it wasn't too muddy and made some casts with a hair jig, a little keitech swing impact, and a SK rodent on a shakyhead. Lost the hair jig, had what looked like a little walleye follow the keitech up shallow, but no strikes. Still pretty early for bass here. 2 Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted March 6, 2020 Global Moderator Posted March 6, 2020 Mid 50’s Saturday and high around 60 Sunday. Still 4-5” of ice. I might not be over on my prediction. The extended forecast looks very promising. 1 Quote
