    Going pretty quick. Almost no way back to the mainland.

    Is that your white Ranger on the current break?
    Biting?

    If the current break is in Jordan's shed, it is. Put sleds away yesterday before I do something stupid.

    Looks like it's going to be a fairly normal ice out this year doesn't it Frank? Should be gone by the first week or two of April I'd guess which is about typical? Has the winter been average or mild like it has been elsewhere?

    My guess right now is an early ice out. My guess is April 15-20. Normal is about May 1. Definitely a warmer winter. Looked like it was going to be a late freeze, but was saved by a 9th inning cold snap. Definitely a shortened season with premature warming. Certainly looks to be a trend the last few years.

    Ah, OK. I thought you were normally ice free in mid April. How was the ice season? It's been a really poor winter fishing here, despite been very mild, or maybe because of it?

    Fishing was very good this winter. May have even the best since I moved here. Half the houses never moved from their first location, and were consistently good. Total opposite from last year.

    Excellent news. Glad you had a good season. I went to Holland last weekend after giant perch and zander, but it was dreadful, due to 40mph winds all weekend. The Dutch guys were complaining about having a lousy winter too.

    Good time for an update. Open water finally broke through the ice road at the bend to the north. As well you can see not much left between Passage and Flag where it was first to go. What's left is pretty rotted and we really need some wind to tear it up. Has been dead calm for a while, so not much help. Suppose to have a fairly good south wind tomorrow, so hope to see some damage. Harbor still frozen at Young's Bay.

    Ice road pretty well gone from Mergen's Point to the bend. Most of the ice to the right of the road is an extremely large iceberg that blew in yesterday, and should be gone shortly. Looks pretty well opening from Centre Island east to Blaze. The Modis satellite image should be interesting today. Stay tuned!

    Thumbs up

    Interesting view:

    This is taken looking south towards Baudette, MN from a westbound jet: the North West Angle is under the wing, close to the plane. Those three islands close to the bottom of the window are Brush, Flag and Oak. The skinny one further away is Garden Island, and Big Island is in the distance at the left edge. Looks like the ice is rotting and the first patches of water are breaking open.

    Thanks, Marcus!

    Almost open to Centre Island, and as far west as I can see from Oak by eye. Had to move the airboat to shore, as I don't think I could walk to it this afternoon. Couple of cold nights may retard us a bit, but on he way!!!!
