No Hog-a-thon this year...

[vook]

I just found out that the Hog-a-thon is offically canceled for this year. Man, this sucks! (Long range forecast coupled w/the recent warm weather killed it)...

Next weekend will probably be the last time the ice will be fishable imo... Don't worry though, you aren't missing much!

That sucks for you guy's Vook.

I hope you get on the ice for one last shot at them.

I am assuming most spots on the East Shore will be impassible, but the West shore typically is fine late into the Spring. 3 years ago, we took a boat out of Bingham and paddled to the ice.

Here's a report from a resort on the lake.. Hard to believe...

Lake Gogebics ice conditions are great! Despite warm temps, travel is good. Both snowmobile and atv`s are being used. Most slush and water has drained off the ice and shorelines are still firm. Expect 18-20 inches of ice. Perch activity is still hit and miss with a few good reports, but very few anglers are out.Most are staying on the move to locate active fish. Gamefish season is now closed so perch will be the primary target as long as the ice stays with us. As always please check locally anywhere you are planning to venture onto the ice as conditions change quickly this time of year!!!!!! Be safe and best of luck!
