Have not fished it yet this year but this is one lake you need to be careful on, gas pockets everywhere. I have heard newell is 10in plus so it should be roughly the same. It's the one lake I would never drive on although tons of people drive on it.

Place where the ice is thin due to gas bubbles bubbling up all the time, some years are worse than others.

Ok, thanks. So weak ice. I wasn't sure if you ment large pockets of methane or something.

Good to know. Thanks again.
