well I got my own report from a guy who lives on the channel, ice is bad at best is what he's telling me, some places 2-3" and other areas less than an inch. Spud bar all the way out and back with safety gear and a friend, he did catch 2 walleye yesterday but no crappie. I wont be on the lake until 4pm tonight, change of plans, but will be on it early tomorrow.
