Ok I'll ask the question. Who was out this weekend and how was the ice where you were? Obviously each lake is different and spud your way out and I don't care about the exact lake. TIA

Saturday had 16+" in Kalkaska County.  Did not go out on Sunday after the rain pooled up the ice.

Down at the bottom of Michigan, I’ve got more bad ice than good. Lots of honey comb and standing water. Headed to the rivers

My son old me last night that his power auger was abot 6 inches from the motor on one hole he made Sat on a lake in Kalkaska area. Biggest problem on some of these lakes around here is the shore ice is piled up so high making it hard to get on. HL by the west launch the big hotel there has it all the way up to there deck in front
