went out for 5 hours today in the bay behind Gracie's did ok..one 15 inch bass...between three of us..though we must have caught 8 13 inchers good day to be out...though the ice was like a bowl of rice crispys..snap crackle pop all day long...though the ice was plenty thick i would say a good 5 and a half if not six in most spots...caught most of the bass on tip ups..though my brother did catch three on rapalas..along with a few dink perch...very good day
