A buddy and I fished the Narrows today. What a couple warm days will do to the ice. The top cloudy layer has completely disintegrated into watery mush. Still 5-6" of clear ice below, but with this warmer weather, I would not venture out this weekend. Edges have substantially weakened and you need an 8-10' plank to get on. Even with that, my buddy went in up to his waist on the way out.
That said, fishing slowed considerably from this weekend. Started around 2:30 and fish till 7:30. Between the two of us, we landed about 30. Perch were tight to the bottom. The main concentration seemed to have moved out and were were catch a few here and there that were moving thru.
If u head out in the next day or two BE VERY CAREFUL!! If you do, make sure you have the necessary safety equipment. Even then, is a perch dinner worth losing your equipment and possibly more??
