i have seen several full size trucks driving on shoe. none on cedar island
there is 6 to 8″ but there are spots that are less than 3″. It did not freeze very even do to late open water spots.
Most bays off of hwy 22 are safe.

5″ as far out as i can walk today. 4 spear houses on becker. A warning though: if anyone is going from the winter access to the crappie hole on shoe there was an open area near hammers point that was open for a week when everything else was frozen. Ice probalbe less than 2″ there’

Just checked tonight and I have between 2.5 and 4″ with one open spot in the distance.

With the current weather forecat and the water temp of 40 degrees we should start seeing ice on the chain within the next few days. Could be an early ie fishing season which would be awesome!

Catching cats on horseshoe is easy. I have been catching as many as I want for years, actually its harder not to catch them.
In the summer during this time of the year just use a bobber with a tail that lays flat. Use a white tube jig and a minnow. Be in 8-12 feet of water and set your jig at 4ft. The cats will find you. When your bobber tail hits 12 noon or straight up then set the hook and have fun.
