Ice out update: April 20, 2014 “Happy Easter”

Is that shoreline?  Yes, actual grass and rocks!  Now that the Arctic vortex is behind us, it’s time for some spring melt…

As you can see things are looking wet and relatively snow free on the lake.  But is that actual lake ice we are walking on?  No, just a layer of frozen slush…….

Regardless, seems there is the opinion out there that the underlying ice is of “poor quality” and likely to go fast.  Now do they mean “fast” like in May, or are they talking June?  And who are “they” that know so much about this ice melt….and have they submitted their guess?

So many opinions, but who will be right?  My plan is to be on the water by May 17th….catching lake trout and walleye.  What’s your plan?
