Baldwin Lake, Greenville

[old-man]

Has anyone checked the ice on Baldwin Lake for thickness?

I cant give you an ice thickness report, but my uncle lives on the lake and my dad was out there Sunday and said there was guys out there fishing.

Ive only fished the lake 3 or 4 times during the winter and Ive never done real well, mostly just dink gills and crappies. Nothing of much size. If you dont mind what do you usually target out there? My dad and uncle catch some decent bass out there during the soft water. Is there any other species in the lake?

Sorry for being nosy, but ive never been able to find out much info on the lake.
