How is the shore access. I know there is plenty of ice, but can it still be accessed?

Made my first trip of the year today.  Accessed the lake from Cook Park  Today, for the first time in several years I got the Big Skunk.  I worked from 8' to 14'.  With all of the snow cover the image from the camera was not clear.  I could not find any weeds.  I'll try again in a day or two. There is a huge ice heave right by the Cook Park ramp.  You have to swing to the west a little to access the lake.

LVVA shoreline looked bad. There were some spots I saw people walking in and out from but I accessed from a buddies house this time. Wide open between the points. Was drilling anywhere from 5 to 6.5 inches of ice in the shallows. Group fished 5pm till 1am. We had 10 flags out, not one popped. Jigged up 5 bluegill. 7FOW. Not a good fishing day on the lake

Got out last Sunday around 7am. Fished till about 11am with some buddies. Set up out of LVVA Beach. About 4 to 5 inches of ice. Did nit venture out at all. Set up 6 flags, none popped. We were in about 7.5 feet of water. TONS of gills but that's it. Surprised, usually early ice the flags get popping.

Walked out from Cook Park this afternoon. Ice there was around 4” but other areas on the lake are still open. Be careful . Fishing early afternoon was slow just a couple gills.

Boys!! Anyone have an update? Thinking of going out tomorrow morning.  Wondering how much ice she's produced so far
