no problem. I couldn't believe it myself when I heard it was frozen down there - seems like that water never freezes even when other lakes are all locked up.

The water in the marina and even out along the breakwall is extremely brown/stained right now with all the runoff. I've never seen the water like that inside the marina.There were many guys fishing the marina and pier today, but I didn't see any catching, and several guys told me they got skunked.

All that should settle out in few days and I'm hoping the fishing will be good for the weekend!

village launch is open. The canal launch is froze over and even if it was open the parking lot was plowed up blocking the launch.

stained water is good for fishing - did 7 pike in 3 hours this afternoon, 1 big one around 9 lbs. No browns today though
