Drove by Buckeye yesterday. Went by the North shore and it was open a long ways from the boat ramp. Drove over to Fairfield beach and where I was fishing Saturday it was wide open. Almost all the way to the bog and islands. With this cold snap be careful if on the ice. I can see a skim ice forming on the open water making it look like safe ice. Off to the right of Fairfield it looked safe but be sure to bring a spud bar. I walked out about 10 yards from Fairfield and heard a crack. Since I was alone I worked my way back.
