I-bay

I havent been by the bay in some time and was wondering if its looking like the launch will be free of ice this weekend? calling for some nicer weather this weekend and would like to take the boat up there and get some perch. Thanks for any help

gokudl3, I was there this afternoon. The bay is iced up all the way out past the first set of channel markers. If the ice does break up the wind may plug the ramp up with ice if its S.W. I think you would have a better chance mon. or tues. or the weekend after next. If its not a long drive try sunday. good luck. Mike.

I was there today and there is ice out past the channel markers, of unknown thickness. There were two boat trailers in the lot, and I was told by a guy down at the Bayside that they were duck hunters, and they blasted a swath of open water through the ice to get to the channel to get out near the lake.
