Fished Prairie Creek yesterday. I was on 2" of clear ice SE. of the first bridge. I had to phone a buddy to come and observe me getting off the ice because the cold weather was making ice so fast that it ripped a pressure crack about 3 ft. behind my shanty. Talk about spooky. Water was seeping up from the ice flexing. I didn't move until the "Kid" showed up. Luckily I evacuated safely....fishless however. I would say that today all is fine on the Creeks bays. Hopefully the main lake will lock up the remaining 20 or 30% left and we can trek out to offshore structure soon.
