crappieperchhunter Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have been on Couch since Dec31 so I'm betting St John is as good or better. But I have not been there so I can not say for sure. Play safe and don't go alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deffect Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I was on lake st john two weeks ago and there was about five inches of clear and 2 of white. Had some cold nights since then so i would imagine it will be even thicker now. Apparently there is two springs in the middle of the lake though that need to be avoided this time of year. I should be out there this weekend. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptackle Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 BE CAUTIOUS!!! They've taken a couple logs out of the dam to lower the lake level - it's gone down almost 2 feet since christmas. I'm on the north shore in a little cove - the ice surface right in front of me is showing several cracks with water welling up. It's seeming somewhat better further out but only that I can see from shore - I ain't going out there for a bit yet. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheaptackle Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Only info is what I can see from shore lately. Never got my tinny out this year at all and not looking like I'll get any hardwater time unless things change drastically. I did see one chap walking around the entire west side and there are reports on another board. I ain't gonna be the one to say go or no - we all know how to judge for ourselves. I really don't like the look of what I see out front so I think I'll just stay in the warm and see what develops. If I ever DO get out and come up with something you can bet I will be bragging about it! Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
