Official 2017 Ice-In Thread

I just left Gilford beach/ Sanders Bay for an ice check.
Perfectly clear and smooth, a uniform 5.5" all the way out.
The bay was busy this evening, some fishermen, lots of skaters, including a guy with a surfing kite.
I walked out about even to the end of Varney point.
The ice in the distance was choppy looking with dark spots that could have been clear ice, or water.
I was not prepared/equipped to travel toward questionable ice, that's as far as I went.
I do hope Gilford Park and Rec will open the gate this week. I'm going to fish there the next several weeks, and I'd like to have my house there, even if it's safely on the sand.
