Wabler,I don`t know on how the Ice held out after this rain,I was curious myself.If I was going today or tomorrow,I would call Lake Erie Bait & Charter`s at: (519)586-8247.I bought minnows from there last Monday,and he is the only Bait Store that I know of that is open for Business,this side of the Bay.They would likely give you an update of the Ice Condition.Please post on your day out.Good Luck & Play Safe.
