Has anyone been to, or by Starvation recently to see the ice conditions there?? I NEED TO KNOW BAD !! My girlfriend has been bugging me CONSTANTLY that she wants to make a trip and ice fish there, but not till I get DEFINATIVE PROOF that the ice is safe...please throw me a bone...PLEASE. If ya have any suggestions on where there would be a good place to try there, that would be helpful also. We are very familiar with the lake, but only in the Summer....never been there in the Winter yet. If I knew what parts of the lake are accessable with snow on the ground, roads that get plowed, etc... that would be SOOOOOOO helpful. Thank you for ANY suggestions or info.

[font "Arial"][red][size 3]You are not alone in wanting to find out about and fish Starvation. I heard a report a week ago that a few bays were fishable, but the middle was wide open[/size][/red][/font].

Just a short note. I fished Starvation out in front of the marina, Indian Bay, And Rabbit Gulch. I mean I poked holes alot of holes. No fish. Accessibility is good 2 wheel drive about 4 inches of snow. The ice is 3 1/2 in to 5 1/2 in scarry looking ice. Seen three perch caught at the bay west of the freedom bridge. Steep hill to climb down. I sent the boy. Might have to try there next week. Fished from 20-45 feet deep no luck. How about P.M.ing me with detailed info on where you got them. Or a report if you didn't get them. Good Luck Pikeman GO FISH

Drove by it a couple times this weekend. Had a snow covered cap on it. Was too dark to tell if anyone had been fishing it. With the temps in the below zeros overnight it should be fishable very soon if not already. Saturday morning it was a balmy 5 below and this weekend should see 15 to 20 below.

My girlfriend likes to ice fish with me a lot. So there are a few out there. Sorry, she dosen't have any friends into fishing. I think she only goes with me to make sure where I am anyway.[crazy]

[cool]OEJ, that is terrific news. Sounds like we'll be fishing for 'eyes through the ice soon (which is something I've never done yet), and I'm looking forward to it...

Thanks to all who have posted replies to my questions. Keep this thread going I guess so we can all get updates on the conditions there. I plan on trying it there either this weekend or next. Dunno for sure.
I figured to get all these posts saying that it was hard to keep fish OFF the line not getting them ON the line.....oh well.... gunna try anyway.
I will ask her about friends/relatives that are single and like to ice fish...couldn't say for sure right now. I know her daughter is in a ROCKY relationship (and she is BLONDE & BEAUTIFUL and in her 30's) and she like to ice fish or just fish....good catch !!!

I've been keeping an eye on Starvation reports. It's starting to look positive for safe ice. Hopefully someone close to it will chime in.

] depending on how I look at it) yes I do, but that's all of the personal details/biz I care to share on a public forum such as this one, especially when a friend of my ex-in laws pops onto this forum from time to time). Send a p.m. if you have further questions...
