I have been on gogebic a few times now and everywhere i have been the ice has been 5 clear inches. in thicker weed beds its 4. granted the last time i was there was about 5 days ago and we have had some really nice ice making weather,so im sure we have got some more ice. Just think about what your doing and if you like to take a few buddies with you, just dont pile all your wheelers and whatever else you bring with you then start poppong holes all around you,your asking for trouble. Other than that, stick to the bays and stay away from any rivers or the main lake for now.
