  The back bay at Wildwood has to be close.

I was thinking of giving wildwood a shot tomorrow unless a private pond comes through.

Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

I stopped at East twin and came to a "closed" sign.  The lake is closed until Thursday.  Sorry, no update.

Holmes:
South body solid, able to walk out 20' and spud bar was hitting solid ice
North body had significant portion open and wind creating thin ice and open sections sporadically spread

Good to hear about Wagon Train.  I've only caught one crappie by the damn in the summer, any recommendations on that lake?

Fished Wildwood.  Found 4-5" of ice everywhere we went.

Sweet on the cat! What were you using for bait and was it a tip up? If it. Don't work in town today will head up that way Sat. Glad to hear about some folks getting out!
