Just stopped by on my way back from Lansing today, half of the lake was open water, unfortunately the launch is still Iced up pretty good.

What are the chances we get to make this a banquet/outing?

I fully expect most all of the southern michigan lakes to be fishable by that weekend. I had my eye on a few other lakes but maybe ovid is an option. Is there room for parking boats/trailors at the banquet 😈

Yes, there is plenty of room for parking, as long as there isn't a crap-load of guys golfing also.

It's going to be close. Looking at the weather its hard to say. Not sure if only a couple of days in the 50's is really going to do it for Ovid…

around here its gonna be in the 40's 3 of the next 5 days, and 50 on friday.. that should get Campau and oosterhout close if not open. Murray will probably be close as well.

Ill have to ask my cousin how it's looking unless someone else drives by murray daily

Sweet. I guess we'll bring the boat and fish any open water we can find.

Its raining all day in GR today with a high of 49 so I think they might even be open by this weekend and if not they should be open by the banquet weekend for sure.

I'll keep an eye on Ovid and post updates. Here's what it looked like on Sunday:

The pic below shows mostly ice south of the ramp. And yes, that's a guy ice fishing out there. 😯

Don't bet on it, looks like snow saturday and sunday.

My cousin just told me most of Murray is still frozen and the remaining ice is really thick still.

It has melted enough to scare the ice fisherman off though, and the ducks are back on the water

Yeah maybe not by this weekend with the low 30s and snow coming up but Tuesday is suppose to reach a high of 51 and the rest of next week is mostly in the 40s with a mix of sun and rain so hopefully it does the trick by next Saturday…

Ovid's getting closer, but it's not quite ready yet. On 3/3/2012 at 3pm, there was about 100-150 feet of ice between the docks and open water. There's not enough open water around the docks to launch a boat, and the ice is still strong enough for me to stand on.

40's and 50's this week should help.

Somebody broke up the ice around the ramp today, and Ovid is now fishable. There is still ice in some areas, though.
