This week saw several groups with great success on the ice. At least 18" of solid, stable ice makes it possible to continue to drive out to the bay just south of Holiday Harbor. Macomb (locally called Paquette's Bay) is the classic spring pike bay: deep water edge sloping into plenty of weeds with lots of baitfish and a small creek feeding the back of the bay. The Whitaker/Murphy group iced over 60 fish in 2 days, The Worcester gang landed several pike, some upwards of 9lbs., and the boys from Long Island will be eating some fresh fish all week.
Weather continues to be colder than normal especially at night, dipping down into the single numbers. I heard the ice popping and expanding this morning which means we're adding a few inches over the next few days. Most fishermen know that conditions can turn quickly,though, especially with the wind and rain of early spring in the north country. Right now it looks like about 2 more weeks of good ice. Best bet for big fish!

Looks like a nice LMB was taken also by young master fisherman.
