Stoddard/DeSoto area ice.

How's the ice up there,?  How about the bite?

Haven't driven by Stoddard in a week or so but it wasn't good after the warm up.  A guy went in the drink and there was a lot of areas of open water.  I'm sure it's all locked back up now with these last couple really cold days but I might give it a bit.  For the best info go over to lake link and check the reports from the Waters Edge Motel people, or you could maybe just give them a call.

Went to Desoto today, we brought back 3 bass, 2 perch, 7 crappie and 8 gills. Saw lots of flags, I didn't bring my tip-ups. Ice is a little iffy on the edges but still over a foot away from shore. We walked out on the boat dock to access the lake, some guys at the south end had a wood pallet to walk across.
