Thanks for the update. Weather all week is brutal for making ice. +12 in Brooks right now. Highs well above zero all week long. We fish "deep south" Newell, in a spot not very many people go to. I have confidence that it'll be good ice for maybe 50yds or so off shore, but it drops off quickly to a 40ft hole, and that ice will thin out quickly. Have my axe and will test as we walk out.
