There's another log jam of floating ice behind Irwins. Lakeport is clear.
Dan, if you are launching from Lakeport you will have a lot of trouble getting through behind Irwins. Once through there you could easily navigate to your dock. My worry would be the mass of ice 100 yards off your dock that is breaking up. There is a large piece of ice that has floated into your dock area as I type.
I'm lucky to be able to fish from the wide open area near Christmas Island. The ice has receded far enough to get to some areas of deep water and drop offs. I'll be floating around this weekend. Hoping to get my first pre-spawn bass.

My guess is with today's weather, there won't be a whole lot of improvement on the south end of the bay today. I don't keep my boats at Overlook (too rough!). I dock them at Lakeport, so I still may bring up the fishing boat and at least get it on the dock.
Thank you for the update. "Eyes on" is always better than trying to look around the corner through a camera.
Good luck fishing!
