Glad you had fun. My cabin is about 40 miles south of where you were

Too bad we are stuck downstate at home for the moment

Ice was solid on south... About 9 inches of clear... 6 inches of crusty snow on top made travel a little tough but not terrible.. No slush.....no idea about north i didnt go there but i went over the deepest holes on south at 60' and ice was the same there.....

Talked to a business associate who is in TC.
He said North Leelanau is good to go
The Bays unfortunately 😕 are not and probably won't be
We wanted to take a customer out on the Bay this winter.
Will have to settle for an inland lake

False, certain parts/bays on west bay are iced over...if this keeps up they’ll be fishing it by next Monday/Tuesday
