No one's been by the lake
Is the lake thawed out?
Hey buddy, I haven't. Been concentrating on Egypt lately. I think most of the open water come about this weekend! I was in Indy giving seminars so I don't know the current situation there. If I had to guess, spot of the main lake should have opened up with a chance of hard water in the bays and creek areas??? Wish I could help more!

Its been warm here. Most of the lakes should be wide open. It was over 60 degrees on Saturday.
Kinkaid is ice-free on the main lake, however there's still ice from the ramp out about 30 feet. It looked like somebody tried to launch or maybe backed their truck in and broke some ice.
At Rend, Jackie Branch is still partially frozen, but the main lake and Gun Creek are ice-free. The SB Harbor and JB ramps are still frozen, but the ramp just north of 154 in gun creek is open. The USACE page said several of the ramps were open, but I think they meant the gates not the ramps.
At Crab O there's a little ice at the west ramp, but it's usable, Wolf Creek and Cambria Neck are clear, and the main lake is ice-free
thanks for coming to Indy I was at the Seminar on Saturday and I feel it was well done. You should have been able to get some booking> Talked to a guy that had fished with you and he said you do a great job guiding and was enjoyable to fish with. Hope you have a great year and hope some day to fish with you.

I was at the Indy show on Sunday and had the pleasure of listening to you, Capps, and the rest of the crappie experts. Very enjoyable and was proud to be well represented by a fellow Illinoisan. Have always wanted to fish Rend & hope to make it there sometime. Will keep you in mind. Have heard alot of favorable comments about you. Thanks for sharing.
