well, punched a few holes yesterday and things are looking good! Didnt drop a line, but drove around to a few lakes and was surprised with my findings... chickakoo had a solid 2" of ice all the way across, but Gerharts Lake less than a mile away was still open water. Big Lake was another lake i stopped at, and although i didnt drill any holes, someone had already shovelled off an oval and were skating around! Seemed a little sketch to me, but I will be out there to drill a hole and check the ice. Good luck and be safe this early in the season.
