[quote bigbow81]Great reports tubedude. How thick is the ice down there?[/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]The ice is about 5" average, with a few spots a bit thinner or thicker. It does get "wet" around the edges in the afternoon but freezes solid at night.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Have seen some wheelers on the ice, and no big holes where any have gone through. And, there are no warm springs or bubblers in the lake that I know of. But, it still pays to watch the ice carefully and don't take unnecessary chances.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I couldn't see it too clearly but it looked like there might be a pressure ridge forming east of the Oasis ramp...across to Walleye Point.[/#0000ff]
