wondering how thick the ice was ?

was anyone driving on?

Some guys were, not many stayed on though. Bobcat fell through up by Raymond Shores I guess. I'd be waiting a bit before driving on with a pickup...

deffinately give it a bit before u drive... was out there all weekend... on sunday i was about 300 yard out from sunset legion camp ground and there was 8 inches then i went to move out another 60 yards or so just to find the edge of the weedbed and i punched a hole and there was only 4 inches and the water came rushing right out onto the ice... so i stuck my tail between my legs and pulled my stuff back to the same depth that i was at before as fast as i could.... i was down in birch bay on the saturday and there was 8-10 inches and i was about 400-450 yards out

i gotta say i was a little dissapointed on the perch numbers.... i did alright but there was no schooling at all.... mind u every one that we pulled up was atleast 9 inches but i was still very puzzled... does anyone know why they might not be schooled up???

one last thing... does anyone have a report on the whites out there from the weekend... me and a buddy r thinkin bout headin out this saturday and gonna try to find some whites but that is getting harder and harder out there

Does anyone know how the ice is over at Coal Lake, my fiancee wants to do some fishing on her 21st birthday and thats the closest lake to us.
