Didn't get out yet boss...im a young family man so when I get the kids to bed I plan on it til dawn. Going after some toothy critters. Sounds like the ice is doing just fine though.  Part of me wants it to stay cold but the other 99% of me can't wait til I can fire up the 2 stroke.

Thanks for the updates guys . I can't wait to get back out there this weekend . I'm trying to get all set to take my daughter out for her first time . Should be interesting .  I'll have to hang around the house tomorrow though so I won't miss the UPS Guy dropping off my new Eskimo Quickfish 5 i . Dang , it's like being a kid again waiting for Santa to arrive ...   :clap: :woot:

YIKES !  I'll assume you mean where springs feed ( up ) into the water or is it shoreline springs or both ? Trying to get my daughter out for her first time this  weekend . Don't want a disaster .

I only  was able to do a drive by over the 528 bridge, had the car and that hill was quite snow covered,
 the shores since a few days ago looked locked up, I'd approach cautiously, take a cordless drill and a long bit...

Wont be out first light  :-\, kids got sick,  maybe venture out later in the day
