Ice at Catawba on Monday was good. Had a little water on top, slushy here and there but no major breaks anywhere. Was a small busted in spot to the northwest on 2nd shove crossing, I'm sure someone has a new opening by now. Fishing itself was a little slow for most, if ya got a quiet spot, it was on, a lot of searchers around , a lot of walkers out 3 miles and more, beautiful day to say the least.Ice was a solid 8" with a little punky white on top from the rain, water is very clear too.
