I'll be up there with some friends, a few from IS and my local buds. Maybe we'll meet up with you all on the ice.
As far as an organized event, it's really difficult to plan an event with this much uncertainty about ice conditions. We'll try to do this next season for sure. The weather was just too iffy. Remember, to have a lot of people you have to have ice thick enough to hold a crowd and have ample parking too. Experience has shown at these events that some fishing goes on but for the most part people tend to gather together, share stories, eat, and BS for a lot of the time (and I'm guilty too), so I'd say a minimum of 6" is required to hold something like this.
We had two planned events in PA that worked out, one didn't (the Wilhelm one). Maybe next year we can plan both of them and have a good year of ice for a change!
