Woody from Live Bait in Saginaw MI, located at
the point of Gratiot, Mackinaw and Michigan across from McDonalds just called to let us know that ice conditions are still good. Edges are soft and water on ice but at Hooters,Wicks,and YMCA the ice is still 4-5 inches thick. Muffler Man, Kantucky Fried Chicken, Wicks and fishing is hot, especially north of Hooters at train bridge. They are using Jigging Rapalas (darker colors are best) and jigs. A 55-60" Sturgeon was caught and released between 7:30am and 8:00am at Wicks park. The Sturgeon hit a spoon and broke the line so the guy rerigged and hooked it again. This time pulled it up to edge measured it and released it after taking his lost spoon from fish. ha He expressed again to use extra caution when on ice, the edges are still very soft. He will open at 6am for your fishing needs. Again his address is 502 Gratiot and phone is 517-797-8100. Call for an up to the minute report as this kind of weather it changes fast.

Ice Conditions: While driving over 675 I saw two anglers to the east River "looked solid", but when I went over the Tittabawasee at Center rd it was 50 percent open water. The Tib, is where I planned on doing a little fishing, oh well next time.
Gonna wait a few days
