      thinking it’s getting closer to shore casting time
      anyone have info on ice conditions along the Northshore

      or a source than can be checked regularly

      it’s a long drive to find out it’s socked in with ice…..

      thank you

        I’m the opposite I want it socked in with ice so I can go ice fishing. I hope it’s a long time until you get to cast from shore. Mid march maybe?

              safe harbors must be full of ice by now

              guess i should bring ice gear as well as shore gear when I go up there …

                Ice from North Shore all way to South shore as far north of Duluth as Stoney point (maybe farther). Lots of people ice fishing anywhere you can park and find a way through the pack ice. Closer to Duluth the ice is tough to get through to fishable ice. Farther north it is easier to access the lake – but it is thinner – more cracks to jump over.

                      Pressure ridges – openings in the ice – like tectonic plates – some are small in nature – some heave the ice upwards.
