tunglnguyen Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Is anyone planning on heading out to Lake Michigan this weekend? I am thinking about launching out of Holland but am concerned about the ice in Lake Mac. If I do get out, it would be nice to see a few other boats around. I'm always a little timid when I'm out super early or super late in the season since the weather is not as forgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdB Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'll be fishing lake MI this weekend but I'll be on some concrete (or more likely ice over concrete) and not in a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaCatMich Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'm afraid that last year was a once in a decade type winter with the open water by early March. I'll be real happy if the boat's bottom is wet by mid April. Being cold or in a down parka with mittens just isn't my idea of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Hook'n Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 April is the plan for most of us unfortunately, but I would rather we have the potential for water under the boat this year. Sadly, we need the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highpointdf Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Drove by south havens channel today. The ice was breaking up on the north side of the piers and flowing across the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
