plenty of ice in crystal lake 12 inches easy!!! ;D :thumbsup: the pike are hitting very good on tip ups, seems speratic all day, no real good time to go, and the gills are good too , in the 6-8 inch range.

i just ogt done riding my snow machine on fox and petite to burn most of the gas that was left. well the shoreline is okay on fox and petite right now and it looks like it will hold up at least into the weekend depending on how hard it rains. its looking like im only gonna get out once or twice more with my work schedule being the way it is.

You're going to let a little thing like "unsafe ice" stop ya?? Well I went out to the forest preserves yesterday to find no ice.
