2 dozen shanties scattered on the west side of PIB out to Rattlesnake. 4-6" of good ice with 4" of soft stuff on top. Friends fishing near Rattle today said they were on 8-9" of good ice. Less than ideal but colder nights coming. Water milky but improving. Fishing slow. No real numbers. Walleyes small. Good perch reports closer to shore. Can only get better. Good luck & be careful.
