They measured the ice at 17" off the rockpile area. The edges were totally hard, but I would bet by this weekend you'll see the water forming on top of the ice from the melted snow and the snow along the beach edges will also melt. This will expose the colored sand which will make the ice melt faster. However, I saw a couple of snow mobiles out yesterday so there is no issue with the ice thickness or strength yet. Just watch out for any methane vent holes/springs. Those are always open or barely covered. The best fishing this week has come off the area from Gus Rich Point south to the rest area in about 55-80'. They were still catching fish on the rockpile but that has slowed a bit.
I haven't heard much lately, is it still holding up ok?
