I checked it today at the boat ramp,  had 3 solid inches of ice,  was still open water at the 20 ft. hole straight out from the boat ramp,  geese sitting on it so im assuming they are the reason for that,  couldn't see any other open water on the lake but would be cautious if you go out,  snow covered so its getting insulated too.  be careful if you try it,  will probably try it Friday and i'll update on the ice.  good luck guys and be safe!!!

Have fished there 2 times this winter and caught nothing but small gills..  Personally wouldn't waste my time there again, but if you go, hope you find something better than I did.  Tried minnows wax worm and jigs, marked more giant schools of Shad than anything. 

Was at nettle yesterday had a great day on crappie and gills,  water a little murky but didn't seem to matter,  25 fow...my usual.  Minnows on dead stick and wax worms jigging .  Biggest average fish and six better fish than any others I've caught there this year.  16 to 18 inches ice.

Yeah that was me.  caught close to a hundred, avg. size 8.5 inch,    bigger ones 10 to 10.5 inch.  was up again today  bite was better on a chartruse glow 1.5 inch straight tail. tungsten tear drop head.  still hitting minnows on  the float too.   hopefully run into ya some time.
