Was it RC that was sketchy? If so, I wouldn't think it has gotten any better. Is anyone still fishing white breast over at the rock? That would give you a good idea if ice is still favorable for fishing. Be careful!! Sorry, no vex info

I'm fairly new to ice fishing also and was looking for a cheap flasher. I ended up buying a refurbished Vexilar from their website for a lot less than anything brand new. It was just delivered Monday so I have not had a chance to test it out but reviews on refurbished ones looked great.

I drove by it today and only 1 guy on the ice around noon today. Looks like open water north of it.

Roberts or the rock? I'm hearing tales of guys still on the rock, but I'm very skeptical of this info

Was there today in the morning. North winds are blowing water onto the ice and its going bad fast. East side of lake is turning to slush, the middle has only 3 inches and west side about 5 iches of ice.Fished on the west side untill about 11:00 then the wind picked up and pushed water on top of the ice. Everyone there packed up and left before noon. I think its done for this year
