Glendale or Wilmore ice free and crappies hitting?

Is the ice off Wilmore and Glendale yet?  Are the crappies hitting yet?
 
Might take a trip up that way the first or second weekend in April and try and head out for some crappie.

all gone no ice to bee seen

ice is off glendale, slate lick is hot, last saturday, buddies did best so far for numbers, they fished near 3 amish guys who landed 70+ with a number of 10 to 12 inches and an 18incher. fished the same spot sunday(the next day), between 2 of us caught almost thirty, and a chained pickeral, and 1 perch 12 inches, everything caught on single hook with minnie, except the perch took a blaze orange northland forage minnow tipped with minnie, all under a shotgun bobber. will fish this weekend again and post...

Don't have a boat but always looking for new places to fish, can I fish these areas from the bank?  I have looked at the map and drove by it a couple years ago and it appears to have a couple places but the places most people talk about seem like a long walk from a road.  Not looking for a certain spot, enjoy the hunt for them but don't want to spend a whole day if can not get them from the banks.

Hit the crappies today and man were they hitting took 40 legal ones some 11 inchers  great day to be out .  minnies and jigs worked well. 2man limit.

I was in a boat way up towards the stumps fish were still relativley deep along the channel but a few were shallow in the trees   Bad thing is this cold snap will set them back 2 weeks.
