Any SIgns of ice?

I was watching the news last night and they showed the P.I. bay boiling up with about 4 foot waves and nasty white caps. Once the wind calms down it should firm up. It will be mucky for a while also. Looking at the footage the water looked like chocolate milk. I got my gear sitting in the bed of the truck just a waiting..

Ya Slayer, PI bay looks like its firming up nicely, i live right downtown so i drive by often.  I was thinking of going out to punch a hole today just to get the thickness.  I may still, if i do i will let you know.  Dont listen to these nay sayers about not more ice, the bay can freeze up in just a few days given the right temps, WHich by the way have been extremely low so far this week.  I hope to get out this weekend as long as there is no hot spells.

those nay-sayers are the ones who will say whatever they want so can think about their steelhead, steelhead are good but its time for a brake...by the way, the temps all week are supposed to be below freezing...looks good, keep your fingers crossed

 Thanks for the info im hoping for 3"-4" in the next day or so let me know plz!!

Drilled a few holes on marina pond this morning nera the docks. Averaged around 3 to 3.5 will checkout tomorrow

how much snow did you get up there?  is there much laying on the ice?

Saw a guy on the ice in the basin at walnut about 10:00 am.
Wouldn't catch me on that thin ice.

Was on Misery Bay today 4inches of ice, and the fishing sucked. Had 6 lite bites and landed 1 6in gill. Not to many fish being caught,if any from other fisherman.

OK guys went down early this morning and drilled a coupleholes  off the marina dock we are talking like 3-3.5 inches but it is always thin there, down by PI first parking lot its four+ in most areas.  Ice fishermen I will see you out there saturday.  We got lucky because the freezing rain came and melted the snow on top of the ice.  CP i understand what you mean, how much could you possibly steelhead fish and not get bored or want to ice fish even for a couple weeks! anyways, ya I saw some people on misery although i think the fish are starting to work out of the shallows a little.  Well see what happens sat!

Final totals were 16 gills(most of them were BULLS) 1 perch six and a half inches, 1 golden shiner 6in (no s!#t) and a 25in chromer got that first thing, 9:30am.
