Have a feeling its not quite safe yet, but wondering if any braves souls checked it out!

Saw that it had ice, but it looked pretty thin a few days ago.

I was thinking about heading out there myself this weekend. I want to get into some fish after a couple weeks of smaller lakes fishing that didn't produce well. would love to get a report.

it locked up two weeks ago, but there was some sections that were scary thin and cracks that were over 1ft wide!!! didn't stop a group of people from walking out right in the middle! I'm skeptical that its safe, probably give it another couple of weeks.

2 shantys out there today, Friday....but not beyond Coates Is. Two guys came in on Wednesday from walking way the heck out there...fished but said it was slow...said 6inches out in middle...
I drilled a hole at end of docks on Tuesday and 8 inches there....

We just got off the ice. 5.5 to 7 inches of ice in 15 holes we drilled. Not black ice but not all white either, seemed solid where we were. Snow on top leads to a tough pull. We had all dinks, several perch and seeds/gills. Hooked and landed a pickerel on a jig, pike came in on camera with all the commotion. Just plain slow...
