Ice at Oak Island!
We have the first layer of ice at Oak Island and in the Northwest Angle area near our two Oak Island resort properties! ChiChi the manager reports ice as far as the eye can see in the bay and south of Oak Island. We are hoping the wind stays calm and we can start building more ice from here.  As far as the south end of the lake near Sportsman’s Lodge, the shallow bays are frozen at this time. The main lake, river and larger bays still have open water.  The water temperature continues to decrease.  We are down to 33 degrees from 34.5 last week. The current in the river continues to subside. Now we just need a blast of cold air for 7-10 days and we will be good to go!

Still on track
Last year we started fishing for the year early, Dec 5.  On average we start the winter season between Dec 10-15.  Keeps ice dancing; it will be here before we know it!
