Today I was checking on some customers and they told me to be careful by one of the tip-up's that there was open water there. I went and looked and sure enough there is a open spot in the mid lake basin. It is about 3 feet in diameter and I have a xmas tree laying down over it and there are also some stakes painted orange by it. It looks a little iffy for about 25' around this area. I went and drilled some holes in other areas and fished tonight and there was 20" of ice everywhere else that I drilled. The Coordinates for this location are N45.53.165 / W 86.57.770. Please be careful if you are going in this area. This is between Center Reef and the East bank in about 23' of water.

Tightlines and Good Luck to All
