Went to Mosquito this afternoon to check the ice.  Good ice in the main body.  Still thawed 4-5' from shore, but skimmed over.  Ice was 4-5" 50 yards from shore.

This was at the East side 305 boat ramp near Lakeside tackle shop.

I'll be on the ice tomorrow afternoon!!!!

Went out from 2-6 pm not far from the first buoy northwest off of the 305 ramp on the East side of the lake.  Caught a few nice perch and a small walleye on a gold VIBE just off of the bottom in 17' of water.

WINDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ice was just fine. 5" but you still have to be careful getting on it from shore.

I havent been to skeeter in a couple of weeks, as I went to Saginaw last weekend and stayed home this weekend to get my sled ready for Erie next weekend but last time I was out it was a solid 6". Im guessing by next weekend it would be close to 9 / 10", Its power auger time for sure for me. Im to old to old to drill through foot thick ice. Lol . Buddys of mine been out with reports of small eyes and decent perch being caught. Good luck

Fished the south side for a few hours today. Not a nibble, but still 12" of good ice.  A inch of water on top of ice. A few inches water on top near shore.
