Fished Brushy yesterday and the ice was just fine. No change from the weekend from what I saw. Just got back from fishing the Jay Carlson pits by Boone and the shore is very inconsistent out to 15ft from the bank. Once you got past the slushy weak ice, it was fine for the most part. Anywhere from 3-8". I'd still use a spud bar as it's not a consistent thickness throughout
