Brought home 22 big enough for some good filets and put back plenty of little guys. My son caught the only trout of the day, but it was a good one.

It looks like you had a great day, and nice to hear the edges held up nicely. Thanks for reporting.

I bet there are 3 or more feet of fresh snow on the ice today (1/1/23). I wanted to go tomorrow but I bet the park is not even out.

Went out to RP today, and didn’t even make it on the ice. Edges were slush over open water at the boat ramp. No plank, so no go. Spoke to a guy by the dam on my way out and similar situation, but they’re much braver than I.

I went through the ice there today up to my knees. Another guy went through up to his chest. It is not worth it.

> I was at Rockport today. Getting on the ice was tough on the west side but we still managed to do it with a 10 foot plank. I recommend a longer one or a ladder if you decide to go. Once on the ice there was about three inches of water covered with 2 inches of slush over the 6-7 inches of ice. Not very good conditions but we still ended up getting enough perch for a nice fish fry tonight. Be careful out there!

> Wow, a 10 ft plank to get on, that isn’t good and with another warm period on the way and more snow, RP might be done until it gets colder. Good thing the catching is still good.
