 I was wondering if anybody has been out to check the ice to see how thick it was.
 Thanks

 That sucks! The spot I fish is pretty protected form the wind so I'm hoping it was solid before the wind. I'm going to run out and take a look in the morning and see whats up.

Lake Carlton in Morrison, IL had 6 inches of ice. The top 1 inch was white though. I did quite a bit of walking yesterday. Lots of popping and cracking going on though. It was also pretty windy. Fishing was a little slow and only brought home 3...yes 3 bluegill for the freezer.

Went to the lake bight and early this morning to just turn around and come back home. There was 3" but it was 1 1/2" of clear and 1 1/2" of white ice. I walked out about 10'-15'
 And the ice was popping and cracking so I got off. What a bummer. The lake was completely locked up just not there yet. With the way the temps are looking it might not be ready by next weekend either :'(

Lots of open water today in spots there was ice on Thursday.  This stupid wind is killing everything.
