You will be fine Mike. We were out on Saturday 2hrs northwest of town. Only about 3 1/2 inches but very hard and solid. No snow cover made it a hard day for fishing but the ice was great.

Hey bigbore,

Went out to Chickakoo today, around 5 1/2 inches of ice up to 6 inches.
Drilled 3 holes.

Ice is cracking good, always does this time of year. Take your chances my man its still too early to be venturing to far out. I stuck relatively close to shore was fishing in around 5-6 fow. And only out around 20 feet.

Here's a pic from today...
