tunglnguyen Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Is anyone planning on heading out to Lake Michigan this weekend? I am thinking about launching out of Holland but am concerned about the ice in Lake Mac. If I do get out, it would be nice to see a few other boats around. I'm always a little timid when I'm out super early or super late in the season since the weather is not as forgiving.
N II Deep Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 2 1/2 foot snow drift in front of the barn door. boats not coming out yet, hope by 3 week in March out of storage, ready for water by 1st or 2nd week in April.
EdB Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 I'll be fishing lake MI this weekend but I'll be on some concrete (or more likely ice over concrete) and not in a boat.
tunglnguyen Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 Ice was still solid at Holland todayDarn! Was this by the DNR boat launch? I've been meaning to check it out but haven't had a chance.
SeaCatMich Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 I'm afraid that last year was a once in a decade type winter with the open water by early March. I'll be real happy if the boat's bottom is wet by mid April. Being cold or in a down parka with mittens just isn't my idea of fun.
Just Hook'n Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 April is the plan for most of us unfortunately, but I would rather we have the potential for water under the boat this year. Sadly, we need the ice.
Paulywood Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 I'm shooting for Good Friday but it may not happen.
highpointdf Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Drove by south havens channel today. The ice was breaking up on the north side of the piers and flowing across the channel.
