be very careful close to the dock since its very unpredictable but i have fished there several times each winter. fishing is okay through the ice there but much better in the summer. i guess its what your fishing for. good spot for lakers in the winter and a hit or miss for pan fish. when i fish there i stay away from the pier and set my tip ups approx 25 yards away from the pier. beware though that area from the champlain bridge to the pier can be treacherous due to the fast moving currants. have a safe ice day.
