I was there on Sunday. The ice was getting a bit crappy where you want to fish in the shallows due to the weeds absorbing the sun. Prob a good idea to wait till this weekend when it firms up again.

No fun being able to see the bottom with nothing but a few weeds in between.

I was there yesterday afternoon. I didn't measure it but I would say ice was 7-8 inches thick. Fish were biting decent, caught over 20 gills and one crappie in a couple hours.

I've only been out there twice this year, first time I went it was like the dead sea. One bite in 5hours of fishing. I went out there last Saturday and caught them good. It was hit or miss like that last year as well for me.

Has anybody been to the marsh lately? I haven't been there for a couple weeks. I'm wondering if the fishing has picked up?

Sounds pretty close to me! As long as the river is iced over enough to walk across

Very rough winter last year! Always the best first ice though! I usually hit it early in the year and never go back

Checked sweets tonight after work. There's 4 inches of ice above the dam. Ice hut tracks go across to the lake, so it looks like guys are fishing it. Only had time to pop a couple holes , but ice seemed consistent.
