Well we are patiently waiting to get our houses out to the deeper traditional spots. We walked it today and found ice from 2-10″, the conditions are much better than last year and once we get a little thicker ice we will be in good shape.
A lot of these thin spots are around spots with 8″+ these are hot spots and are typically the last freeze. these will heal up fast with cold.

Right now we are fishing some near shore spots for groups that are unable reschedule and patiently waiting to get out deep!
