Big Creek ramp is open, old cut is open..Rotten Ronnies has plenty of minnows. See y'all down there!!
Since the Ice Fishing down at Long Point looks like it is not going to be Happening this Winter,(it will be my first time in over 30 year`s that I have not fished the Hard Water Season on the Bay,and I missed it a lot)[!],I was also just wondering how Early in the Season anyone has put a Boat in at Long Point over the year`s.There are going to be a lot of Hungry Perch & Pike to be caught,once the Soft Water Season does arrive.8DThanks for the update wads44 & drop me a line,on how the launch/Bay have been shaping up.Please,anyone else that live in the area,keep as Boater`s updated,on the Ice Conditions,as the Bay does eventually open up. Thank-You In Advance.

...we see what tomorrow brings,,hope to have more info tomorrow eve!!!!! cannot find pic!
Thanks for the info drop me a line.WOW!! March 16/2009 you & Larry aka green baron were Ice Fishing,and March 19,2009 3 days later both of you were on your boat way out at Bluffs Bar.It apparently does not take long for the Ice to dissipate,once it starts the melting process.Hopefully this year it will also be sooner then later for the Open Water Season.Good Luck tomorrow if you happen to get out.I,and surely other`s,can`t wait to read your next report. Good Luck & Be Safe.8D

Thanks elevatorman for the update.I know that it is still quite early for the Boating Season,but Cabin Fever this year is Hitting me Hard,due to the non existing Hard Water Season on the Bay.Perhaps a trip up North,(Ice Fishing)will cure this Fever of mine.8D

Your comment about lots of weeds makes me wonder what the lack of ice cover will do to the Inner bay and the marsh in general ?

Got to like that. You answered alot of questions about what is going on out there, that being, are the perch out there when there is no ice cover.

Been researching that ice question and it appears that the ice and more importantly the snow cover on it allows less sunlight therefore hampering weed growth. Also lack of ice on all the Great Lakes allows for more water to evaporate meaning lower lake levels. It also seems to affect plankton growth which of course fish need to feed on. Something to do with the timimg of fry to available food ?
As for the marsh itself ? I have seen the ice damage[retard] the growth on the outside[bayside] edge sometimes shearing the weeds off at the water[ice]line. Like last year we had some pretty nasty east winds/storms that pushed alot of crap back into the marsh which just adds to shoreline material but it seems the high water we expierenced helped keep the weeds[seaweeds] down to a minumum.
With the warmer water that we are having it makes you wonder how it will affect the fish and their biological clocks ?

Hi all.
I have lived in and fished around Inuvik, yellowknife and Red Lake. The lakes all had weeds although I couldn't tell you what they were called. The weeds were present in all locations in every season. Diminished in february through ice as thick as six feet with six feet of snow but still there. The fish were still there too!
A quick google of Perch spawning makes for interesting reading as well.
Cheers, Clark
