Comment by John Sheehan on February 2, 2015 at 4:09pm: I've ice fished three community lakes that have weed control Tony

Comment by Tony Livingston on February 2, 2015 at 3:26pm: So the weeds are down, or were never there in the beginning? Just trying to get a handle on mid season indicators.

Comment by Jim Gronaw on February 2, 2015 at 2:56pm: Same in the M-S region...little or no weeds. DCL guys are fishing humps and rock, but I heard some weeds are still hanging on in the upper reaches of the lake...producing a variety of fish.

Comment by John Sheehan on February 2, 2015 at 1:44pm: Weeds are sparse/non existent in the three lakes and areas I fished so far .Wood and Rock areas are the structures I've been hitting .

Comment by Tony Livingston on February 2, 2015 at 1:29pm: Jim, any idea what shape the weeds are in right now where the guys are fishing?

How about you John? Are you fishing weedbeds or flats?

Comment by Jim Gronaw on February 2, 2015 at 12:58pm: Anytime after the first week in Feb would be 'mid winter' ice for us here in the Mason Dixon. Our ice period can be as long as 8-9 weeks or as brief as a few days. We've got it now and the Deep Creek guys are pounding fish in relatively shallow 12-18 ft depths. That bite will go deeper soon as fish just seem to scatter and clam up.

Comment by John Sheehan on February 2, 2015 at 12:33pm: ha ha , I'll send you flowers the next time you bring that up .Stick with the drill /coat hanger ,you'll live longer1

Comment by carl hendrix on February 2, 2015 at 12:29pm: hahaha at least I am in good company with our man Leo!! was going to aggreviate the wife one time;; told her what I was doing ;; mixing that junk up;; told her I needed to use her hand mixer and beater blades. I wont say she yelled at me;; but on a ritcher scale;; it would have been around a 4 or 5 level!

Comment by John Sheehan on February 2, 2015 at 12:11pm: Man Carl , you are a madman fisherman ! Drilling beat up minnows with coat hangers ,you and LEO are the most eccentric characters on here !

Comment by John Sheehan on February 2, 2015 at 12:09pm: Yes Tony , midwinter ice has always been tough for me and usually I fish in the 12 '-25' range on the lakes I frequent, at that time and can catch a few .I found what appeared to be fish in the early ice shallower zone yesterday,8-10' . They just wouldn't hit . Thanks for your informative reply. Appreciate your help!
