'03s fairing better than expected???

[Storm Warning II]

Watched the ice fishing reports from the western basin this year (when they could) and noticed a lot of reporting of the majority of 'eyes being 22 to 26". That is about season in full swing estimate from ODNR. So does that mean by the time the migrants reach the eastern end of the central basin that they should be 23 to 27"?????

Does that mean next year 24 or 25 to 30" '03 hatchlings????

WOW. This year could be a LOT of fun!!! Let's just get the gas prices down so we can all afford to enjoy it.

Checked out recent report by D'arcy Egan that does the outdoors report for the the Cleveland Plain Dealer and reports from ice charter captains of late are also noticing a lot of 7 to 8" eyes coming to the top too. Another banner year class from '05 or '06???

It sounds like this is going to be another great year.

Hi all,

hopefully some of those little eyes will migrate this year. I didn't get any 15 inchers at all last year, most stayed west at the islands. If we get some of the 05 hatch they might be legal by the time they get over to us. But the 03 hatch will be fun, hopefully with them being bigger they won't migrate too far out north of us.
