Off provincial launch 12" or more but as you head over to garnet I was getting 9"-10" and there are two pressure ridges but you can drive over them...garnet from shore was 12" or more and out to 200 yards I got 9" but that's as far out I went on the quad...I would say getting around with no worries on a quad, utv's, sled you should have no issues just not in the big body of water....trucks etc are scooting the edges with no issues even seen a red F150 go across from provincial launch to garnet  ....myself I feel confident on the quad but will wait for a better deep freeze before farting around all over the lake with the truck....just not worth it.....ohhh and when I settled down towards the end of the day I managed a quick three, two on the jaw jacker and one with the Len Thompson #2....the day was more of a ice recce....fish were lucky  |
