Ice Report & GOMH Skunk Report

Rock is super high

Checked around the area lakes. Platte and Rock are pulling away from the shore some, and the water level is really high. Still, 2 to 3 days away from ice-out, I think. A guy with 2 teenagers was at the bridge watching birds and taking pictures when I arrived. I started fishing, and they left soon after. Another guy stopped by for a little bit. He said a buddy told him he got a bunch of crappies here last week. Not! Had a few loons flying around and calling. No bites. Stayed until dark and didn't shine anything. I feel good about my chances of getting something by Thursday night.

Channel in Bay is 25% Open, and the Inlet on Platte from Rock is opening up pretty well, which means warming water is going to pull through the system with Tuesday's sunshine. I suspect the Platte River Outlet on Rock is open now and will be a fish magnet with the high water over the next few days. Need to get the Trophy ready to go.

Here is my after-action report from the car:
