Thanks for the replies! I'm going to load up the Suburban tonight with River and Ice fishing gear. I have a 14' inflatable canoe I'll bring to enable more options and will get an early start tomorrow. I'm going to scratch that fishing itch one way or another! One bait store said some guys were still getting on yesterday, but it's getting difficult to get on the ice since the shore is warming. The winds look like they'll cooperate the next couple days.
