Hey guys, just got back from LIL. 4 hrs on ice = 28 perch, no real keepers. 10-12 inches of ice, hard crust of snow on top with a little water in between in places, so its a little slushy. Great day to be out and the new fish finder works awesome!!! tight lines!

I have heard that this is the issue at Rideau Ferry as well. A friend's truck "broke" through the crust and had a hard time getting off the ice. Said it would be difficult on ATV as well.
I may try this weekend with my ski-doo. Maybe. I always wait till I see others out first before I will venture out. A tad nervous on ice. :oops:

straight out from the walk path is good, stray left or right to far and its 4" of slush, going to get worse this weekend with it worming up.
