I drove down to LB for a few minutes yesterday to check ice conditions and see if there were any fishermen at the springs. Most of the lake is still open. The only ice I observed was in the harbor (launch ramp).
There were 10 anglers fishing the harbor. Although I only stayed a few minutes I saw several fish being caught.
I don't know what that means except there was safe ice there and fish underneath the ice that were catchable.
Advantages of fishing Lincoln Beach
1. it's close, depending on where you live.
2. No fees to get in and fish, launch boat, etc
3. Shallow. If you go through the ice in the harbor you're only going to get wet up to your waist.
4. free parking
5. Sometimes the fishing for white bass, crappie, perch and blue gill can be incredible.
I'm not a big ice fishing fan, but I might go down and give it a try.
