Fished whitefish this weekend on Green Bay. Did well by Egg Harbor. Still 3 feet of ice in the bay. Almost needed an extension on the auger to get through the ice. Saw one small boat trolling a sliver of open water off the beach at Algoma. They must have slid it across the ice because the harbor & entry is still froze. The ore boats & Coast Guard cutters are having a huge struggle to move through the thick ice. 3 of the 1000 footers have been stuck east of the Mackinac Bridge for a week, and others are stuck on Lake Superior. One of the cutters had to be towed back to Duluth with a broken rudder. There must be some serious demand for iron ore for the fleets to risk their equipment in these conditions. www.boatnerd.com/news/news14.htm
