According to Harold Maki there is 5" and two of his shacks are on.

[bin fishin lots 125]

Possibly 5 where he's at but not the launch. And there pop up shacks lol. Maybe 5 pounds in there bag.

[Guest dano38]

Pop up shacks? Nope they are the little 3 person wooden shacks that Trulove used to own.

Was on whitefish all day today, 5-6" of ice. There is 2 shacks on already and 2 guys had quads as well. As for the fishing.. It was slow but still managed a few fish

every year at this time I notice an in memory of a certain young man who went through the ice . I don't understand

is a fish that important to take these chances. like anybody else I love fishing but i'm not ready to risk my life for

one. yes you always hear there's lots of ice this time of year but all it takes is a soft spot and your in trouble.

you can do what you want I know I can wait.

I might venture out on Saturday for a look. Lots of test holes and maybe if all looks good try to ice a few fish.
