Going to columbus fishing expo in the a.m. for a few hours then sliding north to Indian. Anybody have any eyes on the ice today at all ? What kind of damage has this weather done ?

This is second hand but from what I hear you can't get on right now. There is still ice in areas but open water in current areas and the edges are pretty much gone. If you get over there to check it out please post your observations.

Checked the ice at 1pm today. Blackhawk has ice but most edges are shot the end pier has safe ice dont.know how far out. Check some side channels and they had mixed edges some solid some trash. Ice is 5-7 inches in most areas not exposed to wind and current it is possible to get on with spud and being cautious..no ice is safe... did get a report that bluegills were biting good. I'm going up now.for few hours of.saugeye fishing will see how it goes

Ice around edges still weak be careful use a spud. Ice I fished in a back non current channel was 6+ inches of ice lake is high water muddy. Most fished marked on lowrance was suspended at 3.5/4 fow. Will be up in the early a.m. tommarow to try and locate more ice and fish good luck be safe
