Last Saturday, the ice was fine - about 12" - after you got on. You will probably need a plank because the edges are bad because of the rising water level. We had no problems and took a 4-wheeler across to the mountain. The ice was plenty thick, but you can tell we are headed toward spring. The auger cut through the ice easier because it wasn't as hard as a mid-winter. Be careful as you get close to any shoreline as the ice gets thinner and softer. The bite was slow last Saturday, too.
Be careful out there and good luck.
