Another report
Hiked out with a group of 14 Scouts and Dads on Saturday from Cattle Landing. Met Bear Island South at the docks! Pretty sloppy over by the Cattle Landing docks, though the cold weather should lock that up soon enough. There's a good 14" of ice north of Mink. 4-5" is slush ice, the rest is solid black. No worries.
Be aware that my neighbor to the East (Northeast corner of the island) has an active aquatherm that creates open water/thin ice for as much as 100 yds out from shore.
I'll be back on Thursday for the derby. If you see a lone ice fisherman north of and around Mark/Mink, it's probably me!
