limeyangler Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hi all, At 7am the lake was shore to shore ice. Looked out again at around 4 pm....WOW....THE WHOLE BAY WAS OPENING UP! I expected another week at least before the ice started to shift with a purpose...oh well....not complaining. Now i'm really behind on my to do list! GOT SOME PICS OF THE ICE COMING OFF OUR BAY TODAY <a href="http://s907.photobucket.com/albums/ac273/limeyangler/?action=view¤t=IMG_2468.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac273/limeyangler/IMG_2468.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s907.photobucket.com/albums/ac273/limeyangler/?action=view¤t=IMG_2487.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac273/limeyangler/IMG_2487.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Lk Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Simon,is the "goon" all ice free now? I took these pics just minutes ago from my deck,it will be a couple days yet before I can do some trout soaking. The ice is doing a job on my allready broken dock,but it is on the list for this year along with a new deck at the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Rick.....ice is taking a real beating this afternoon with the gale force westerlies. The whole bay is clear as of 20 minutes ago and the ice is gone as far as the main body of the lake....definitely done by next weekend. IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE THIS EVENING AT 5:45pm By the way....nice to meet you the other day at Crappy Tire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whopper Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Good for you Simon but I was hoping the ice out in your area or just north wouldn't come until the 14th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Phil loves to see the float plane pilot sweat while he lands between the ice sheets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whopper Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 WHY? Selfish reasons I guess. I'll be at Little Vermilion just north of Red Lake for the walleye opener and from past experience the closer to ice out the better the fishing, or should I say catching.
