Made it out about 8am onto the ice east of Congress Lake, there were around 8 shanties set up. Walking out we heard some groaning in the ice, but it seemed to be around 6" of clear. It was more like 4"-5" of clear where we ended up popping holes 50 yards offshore. Between a buddy and me we managed about 25 fish, including 8 or 9 keeper gills. My buddy caught 3 largemouth, biggest being 11 inches. We moved once and then left around 11:30, it was a pretty decent morning by my standards so far!
