We were over to Lincoln Beach last week. Wanted to fish out in front of the first spring where the ice had reached 4 to 5", but couldn't decide if there was enough elbo room so we fished at the mouth of the dikes. Lots of folks catching piles of white bass out in front of the spring just like last year. Some would take coolers and garbage bags full of them back to there trucks and then go back out for more. We've been back by a few times since including yesterday and same scenario, even same people for the most part, so we've been finding other places to fish around west mountain where the ice varies from 3 to 6" and success has been marginal but we have manages some white bass and a lone perch and crappie, and definitely no competition.
Anyway, yesterday at Lincoln Beach between the dikes someone has managed to break up the 5 to 7" thick ice all the way to the end of the channel. Huge slabs pushed up on the ice and under the ice. Can't imagine a boat big enough to try that without breaking something. Does anyone know what happened there? Thought maybe some joker tried to drive their truck out and had to be towed back or something.
