Came off earlier then a few other lakes this year, must not have been as thick of ice out on the main lake this year since it didn't freeze until well into December.

There is a sheet of ice still floating around, pushed into French Bay Area. West winds plus 20 and windy so this will still speed up the complete thaw.
Ice chunks in and around shore.

I'm pretty excited to be out there this Friday morning for the long weekend! I have never been this early in the season, will the Lakers be shallow and hiding in the bays or out in the usual mid-late season spots?

Don't go into the back bays for lakers, they will be in the bigger bodies of water, 50 feet and up.
Back bays you can have a blast targeting the eyes and gators.

Well I gotta eat humble pie on my last post....9' of water just off the sand bar water went from three feet to 9-12' in which we thought to troll the entire length using one shallow rap and a deeper one....thinking to target a big eye or pike that would Cruz the deeper water looking for a meal...bam fish on...34" lake trout...ya just never know.

Yep we used to Target lake trout in The Bays up north quite a bit farther than Cold Lake but they're definitely in the shallows
