Just wonderin' if anybody is still ice fishing down there. Or, those of you who live in the area, have you seen anybody out on the ice lately. One of the bait shops say that guys are still hitting the ice. Had a cabin booked for this weekend and don't know if I'll be able to get my money back.

I'll run out to Shakamak to check the lakes and Hillenbrand FWA to check the pits. I sure wouldn't get my hopes up though.

Thanks a million Troy! One of my family members used to own a pit in Hillenbrand until the state came in and bought them out. It was a fantastic place to fish back in the day. BTW, where exactly do u live down there? (You can pm me so it is not posted here) Odds are pretty good I've probably been by your place at some time or another. I've done alot of sightseeing over the years down there. I know my way around pretty good for being an outsider. Those are some of the best county roads in the state ! LOL

Well.......there was some people ice fishing at Shakamak. But they were doing it while holding on to the fishing pier. I've tried fishing the pier before when the ice never did get good and the fishing stunk; nothing but dinks. This is Shakamak Lake, it's still covered, but the ice is rotten. I guess technically you can call this ice fishing..... We checked Lenape and the ice is done there.... strippitman - I live a block north of the Hillenbrand east unit, county road 800n(queen 4 road). We didn't check any pits. From my experience, the ice is good at Shakamak longer than the pits. Unless you can find a really low lying pit, I don't think there will be any good ice by next weekend.
