Was fishing there last weekend 12" of ice but watch out where the aerators are there is a lot of open water around them and thin ice. have a fun safe day.

Was out there today. Landed we over 150 perch myself. Buddy got less but we had a great day. Get out there guys and keep your limit so we don't get stunted perch. Didn't measure the ice but probably 14" now. |Fished with Trader on Sunday at 12" so its getting thicker.

Like Trader said, watch out for the aerators, there's 2 of them.

Good advice. That pond Is overrun with them and the only way to get the size up is to thin them out bigtime. Have at 'er!
