Curt, we stayed in the same spot until 3:30. The fishing was spotty though. When a school came by we would get a bunch then it would be dead for a half hour or so.
Fairway, the ice condition is ok. It was a little slushy on top but not as bad as I was expecting. The thinnest ice I measured was 7 1/2 inches. Its not going anywhere for a while. It looks like it is soft on the edges but I tried to kick through at the bank and could'nt do it. It is plenty safe, but look out for old holes. The holes are not refreezing very well. If you have kids watch where they are walking, my son almost stepped in a couple. Alot of people have kicked slush back in their hole and it makes it really hard to see them. I sure wish they would'nt do that, just leave them open so others can avoid them.
