Ok PGKris I wish I had more time and I would have wet a line but I must get to town for work tonight. It was just starting to get dark. Not sure where your dad was looking but the ice looked OK. Solid 4 inches. I thought it may have more so I'm sure my other lake has 6-7 inches. I will know next week.
The wife and friends that were driving in with us were thinking I was
. They said they were not coming after me if I went down but I had the floater suit on and my picks.
I went out a good distance from shore. Seemed ok but if your worried just spread out from your buddies...
