Report from S. E. Michigan

[davetclown]

the word is NO SAFE ICE.

we have anywhere from a crust over to 4 inches at best.

that said,

I ventured out on a few shallow lakes where if I went though I could stand up to keep my head out of water.

I did manage a few gills, and three pike, one 23 inch one on fryday 29 inch on sunday and one 38 inch that went 15 lbs for saturday.
