Title: Banks lake weather?
Post by: Born2late on March 12, 2023, 05:12:23 PM: Can anyone tell me what the north end of banks is like right now? Does it have ice?
My dads going with my uncle next week and I told him I’d ask and see. They want to fish out of their boat. Any help would would be appreciated.

was breaking up pretty well when I went by a week age, but it's been a week. Suspect it might be open now as Temps have hit mid 40s everyday since.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on March 20, 2023, 05:07:09 PM: I think this is actually the biggest fish I've landed out there since I was in high school back in the 80s. Had to be over 25" (I didn't put a tape to her).
