I was down at the lake today to grab a few items. Brought the spud bar with me. Didn’t venture to far as I was alone. The middle of the old cut channel at the ice access had approximately 3.5-4” of ice. It’s froze as far as I could see. Hopefully the warm weather next week melts the snow on the ice and gives us a nice smooth surface for February. Fingers crossed we are able to get out for a couple weeks.
By the way,how many “brown trouts” would that John Deere bucket
hold? 
lol 
Good to know,and yes,fingers crossed
@Brandon S for sure,for perhaps a couple of weeks of some ice fishing in the near future!

So who's going to risk it for the biscuit this weekend? Heard a guy walked out half a km yesterday with a safe return out of willys. I'm thinking Sunday morning I might venture out but if the Jameson goes down well tonight might have some liquid courage sat morning to atleast wet a line...or take a cold bath. Lol
Woodwards also posted that an ATV went around there barrier, onto the ice and through it. The shoreline ice at St Williams is now destroyed.

Stopped by St Williams at lunch to check things out ..Woodward was working on the sleds ... Looks like 1.5...2" inches at the shore ... walked out about 10 feet
quite slushy..Best to stay dry and come back in a week ... some warm weather in the next week ... let it set up at night hope we can get out end of next week ...

Ice thickness at the OldCut varies from 2” to 4”.
The Ice is NOT Safe.

Good to know @oldcutmarina and thanks for your update back!
Very much appreciated,and you saved me a trip this Sunday down to long point bay. I will definitely wait for now,for hopefully safer ice conditions.
Good to know @Edmcl about the ice condition on that side of the inner bay! Here’s hoping
for better ice conditions hopefully later!

Hopefully that guy knows how to deal with a submerged ATV properly so he doesn’t cause any damage…
It’s one thing to roll up to a lake and see a ton of evidence people have been fishing and using machines and riding out without checking. But to be one of the first on the ice while driving a machine!? Plus to damage access for others makes it even stupider.
Some people really don’t have any common sense and literally need a sign telling them what is or is not a good idea.
