From the NE side. I caught a pike threw the ice once it was a blast. Couldn’t imagine seeing a big Muskie coming through. Not really a big ice fisherman as I don’t own any gear. But I do get out with some buddies here and there only if we get some ice.

Last kick of the cat, as walleye closes this week, till 3rd Saturday in May ! Been a real good ice season, for us ! I'd like to place a take-out order. 😀 Walleye opener is a week and a half away for me, and for once, I'm pretty much ready. The warm weather we had last week destroyed our ice within 3-4 days and I was able to get my boat out on Saturday. Water surface temps were already surprisingly high at 51-58 degrees. That's crazy for a lake that had safe ice a week before. I spent a few hours poking around in the dark, spotting spawning walleyes in the shallows and just generally enjoying the last warm weather for a couple of weeks.

I hear you Scott, Thursday, prior to Easter, we still had 3 feet of snow in the yard.
By Easter Monday evening, I had grass showing.
Covered again now, got another foot Sunday/Monday.
Melting fast though.
Well be small boat/small lake for opener on the 20th.
Big boat, big water, a couple of weeks later.
Good luck, Mate !

It was the second terrible winter in a row for ice down here. We only had walkable ice for about 10 days back in January during a cold snap where it was down below 0 for 3-4 days in a row. I got out 8 times between 1/15 and 1/26. Caught a lot of fish, but they were mostly little dinker gills.
