Took a ride up to check my boat this morning. Decided while I was close to Catawba that I would swing around that way and see what was happening.

There were 2 trucks in the parking lot but no one was visible on land or on the ice. The one truck had a flat bed tilt trailer that was still tilted up indicating that that person had brought some form of transportation for on the lake. There was also a cargo trailer there.

Next I went up to the ferry dock and could visibly see 5 ice fishing shelters on the lake. They ranged from fairly close to Mouse and ran on an angle toward Green all 5 shelters were each separated by a considerable distance! The one farthest out was probably 1/3 to 1/2 way to Green.

I know it is not much, but me not being an ice man it is the best that I can do for you diehard ice guys! I am by no means claiming it is safe but only passing on my observations. So if you decide to go please use your own good judgment and experience, be careful first and then have a good time!!
