Ice fishing this weekend (2/9 - 2/10)
I really want to get into some ice fishing somewhere this weekend, but keep hearing mixed reviews about the ice out there as far as how thick and safe it is. I don't want to be out there if the ice is not safe. So how about some reports for PI bay, Missery Bay, Marina Bay, Edinboro, Lake Pleasant, Eaton, Canadotah etc? Will they be fishable this weekend? Thanks!

william h
eaton = unsafe (eastend angler report)
misery= thin and quite scary for me anyway. Not really worth a dunking for blugill IMO
PI bay= unsafe
Lake Pleasent, reports anywhere from 11/2" to 4" .....may drive by tomorrow WJET had a report tonight showing about a dozen huts on Misery Bay. I'm going to try Saturday

Thank you all for your posts. Based on this info, the ice anywhere sounds a little too sketchy for me to try to be out there. I don't wanna take the risk. Bummer. Oh well......

Don't know how far you guys are willing to drive but there is good ice in the North Central part of the state. Rose Valley had 8 inches on it last Sun. Hunters Lake had a solid 6 inches on Thurs. Good Luck! I go by myself(most people are too lazy) and my min ice is 4 inches of blue ice.
