Went out today..nice temp wise but about a 18 mph south wind. went to the north of the ramp. still about 16 " of ice. got about 20 or so keepers...put back a lot of dinks. top ice was getting soft when i left around 3:30 . didn't need a plank to get on, stepped onto the retaining wall, which has about 2 " of water over it then just watch the cracks . I will be bringing a plank on the next outing
