There's plenty of open water and plenty of ice, but it's not near the shore.
Lots of people fishing, but the "in" place to be was Harilla's Landing. There were 18 trailers parked on Long Island Road and a 3-car wait to launch your boat. From Harilla's the only visible ice was clogging the Hole-In-The-Wall.
Meredith Bay was ice from the No-Wake buoys at the north end to about 1/4 mile north of Weirs Beach. Almost-All ice in the Broads. The ice in ALton bay went to a point about 1/2 mile north of Sandy Point. I did not go along the east end of the lake.
