Maybe 20 people still fishing, some as far out as most go during mid winter. Talked to a few guys that said the ice was about 5 inches deep out a hundred yards: but the hand he held up only looked like a thin 4 inches of ice. Anyway not too bad, but they said getting on and off is scary because the ice is all broke up and shattered. So be careful. They did have several bows and a couple 10 inch perch fishing with small Maniac in chartreuse.
I then drove down to Willard North marina. It is capped over. Several boats had launched and broke thru the 1/2 in. ice . Didn't see any action going on.
Funny how 5” to someone, can be 3” to another. Guess that’s why it’s always a good idea to check for yourself. Hopefully you get out soon, I’m anxious to hear your snowdog report.
