Visitor center: 5 feet from bank had 5” of ice, but did test holes 10 feet apart going out and each hole lost 1/2” of thickness. Headed back to shore when it was 3.5”. Should be good to go in a few days.Saw(from the road) a guy fishing off the main boat ramp. Not sure of ice status there.Marina: thickness was 4” - 5” everywhere we checked. Rusty caught 1 crappie and several gills. Dave the “net boy” Pelfreycaught a few gills. I caught over 50 gills ( only 4 keepers). It was good to get out.
Markplusone, Glad you got a few. There are plenty of us on the board that are usually able to get out on the ice if you need a 2nd (or 6) to go out with you. It’s a little more safe. I’m planning on going Friday after work. Probably CJ, but I’m open to anywhere.
