Decided to make the trek out on French Bay and check the conditions. I believe FB froze 4-5 days ago, roughly. Drilled holes every so often and the ice is definitely black and solid. 3" everywhere I stopped, never seemed unsafe at any point. Keep in mind, I took quite a few precautions before venturing into deep water. Dropped a line for an hour or two and ended up with just 1 laker but was worth all the effort! I seen quite a few lake trout being extremely lazy, not interested in hooks at all. Just figured I'd share this with the group and use your own limits when deciding to go out fishing.
Cheers!
