First Im not going to say the ice is safe. The first 3 ft. walking out was broke up but was solid after that. Most of the lake is crystal clear. I hit a couple spots where the ice made me a little leary. Every where I drilled holes I hit at least 5 inchs of clear ice. Im almost sure that all the ice is good and its just my mind playing games. I went to the 15. Fished from 3pm to 6pm. Didnt catch any fish the first hr. I drilled 12 holes until I finally found them. Once I got on them they bit until dark. Ended up carching 40 -50 crappies but none with real size. Tried a few few tied jigs but they didnt want them. All they wanted to eat was a nickel #2 Swedish Pimple. I was tipping it waith maggots but they were hitting it without also. The ice is very slick. Make sure you have cleats. BE SAFE
