I drove on and off with my SnowDog with absolutely no problems. I did not see another person on the ice who was fishing. There were 3 cross-country skiers on the ice mid-day. I was the only person fishing on the ice all day from 7:30 AM until 2:30 PM. The ice itself was 15" to 18" thick in all 10 locations I drill holes. Pineview will have fishable ice for at least 2 more weeks IMHO.Thank you for your report.
The night time temps for Huntsville will be at or below freezing for 5 of the next 10 days. And for your further pleasure, Mantua will also have night time temps at or below freezing for 7 out the next 10 days. Neither of these waters are likely to have massive rises in water levels in the next couple of weeks, so I'm planning on ice fishing for at least the next 2 weeks.
I have my fingers crossed that the water folks will continue to pass the Weber River water straight through Rockport to fill Echo. this should hold the edges at Rockport solid for a couple more weeks as well. I'll put the boat back together the first part of April and start hitting Jordanelle for some early season kokanee.
