Does anyone know if the ice has cleared from any river launches on the west side of Michigan ? Saugatuck, St Joe, Berrien springs or at the south end of Lake Michigan? Anything anywhere!!!??

Some friends of mine fished in the St. Joe last week and said the river is almost completely clear of any ice and the water was high and clear. They put in at Berrien Springs but said the ramp near St. Joe was also clear. They got 10 steelies in two days of fishing. Day #1 everything came on Flatfish or Hot-n-Tots, but on day #2 spawn was the hot bait.
