Baldwin ice is know for a lot of variance to thickness from one spot to another. Always thin by the aerators too. Be careful, I know there are good fish to be had from that lake.

Camoclad....

What do you consider safe ice and how much do you weigh? As I just posted on here in another thread, I was out yesterday and will be again for sure this weekend on Crystal. I would imagine that there should be about 2" - 3" of ice by then, but it all depends on where on the lake you are. No matter what, BE CAREFUL!!!!!
