Well, boys, keep me in the loop. I'd like to find some better local options myself, and I'd be happy to help do some legwork and we might all just get lucky!

Anyone been by Centerville Lake and Lake Peltier? Any houses out there? Turtle Lake in Shoreview?

White Bear Lake east side open water from the tip of manitou island across to the tip of the peninsula to mahtomedi beach down to fir st. across wildwood bay and around the shore to county line rd. back across to the island. The ice was a solid 1 1/2" off bellaire beach and 3 inches in front of Kowalski's by downtown White Bear. Please use caution on White Bear this year.

garpod: in the ice fishing forum someone posted that turtle had four inches out to the ice heave, then two inches beyond that. dont know where the heave is but i will swing by after work and take a look

Anyone know anything about Prior?

anyone been by bald eagle?

Nice, thanks. Turtle would be perfect because that rock pile is right in front of the boat launch

Yesterday:

Harriet and Calhoun were wide open
Nokomis iced over, I don't know how thick though.

Hey blainebob would you send me an email at ozmonkey2003@yahoo.com?
Thanks. I have a few questions for ya.

Centerville and Peltier. 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 ".

Alimagnet at least 5 inches. But no fish came up the holes

Hope not too many people see this, but

Greys Bay on Minnetonka has had fisherman out in portables the past few days. Haven't gotten a chance to check the ice, but I've seen enough people out there to warrant a guess that it's safe.

I had 3" average Ice tonight on NE side Nokomis.

KTapper, was that five inches in the western bay of Aligmanget? Or out on the main lake?

It was by the Alimagnet park by the south east bay. Do you know any good spots on the lake for pike? if you dont want to post it on here my email is kevin.tapper@mnsu.edu
