ice is 2.5 to 3"  i thought it was a litte thicker but its not be careful

I went off the Venango launch yesterday.  Ice where I was fishing at measured with ruler was 3 1/2".  But different places off that launch varied. Everthing I looked at was between 3" and 3 1/2" of ice. There was two guys down towards the outflow of the **** that said ice was 1 1/2". Fishing was slow as I didn't move around at all. Not enough ice for me to do much roaming. Caught a perch and Pumpkin Seed blue gill. Eating size on both. Few other bumps on the lures. Waxworms seemed to work the best for me. At least for yesterday. Only stayed a couple hours.
 Oh and the lake was not making any noise. Indicating that it was not making any ice yesterday and it probably won't today either.

I went out today. After loading up I talked to two different guys who said they left because water started coming up into their shanties. Walked about 30 yards off the venango launch and found a couple inches of slush and a couple inches of ice. I packed up and left lol not enough for this guy yet haha hopefully next weekend.

Anyone know how much ice is out there after the rain!? Id like to try kahle iv never been there. Any tips or locations to try !?

last fished it on monday ... ice off the clarion side was still quite black 6+ id say ... but shore ice was probably rough with the rain that night ... i imagine just a guess here but with the overnight tempts and what not im sure theres still fishable ice 5+ ... if you dont make it before i do will be down sunday evening for sure and will post a better report then ... bites been variable all around the lake but in my 3 trips iv brought home 40 eater size fish and threw back 20+ .... have heard of limits just depends when you get there
 

fished it this morning ice was 5 to 6 inches today everywhere I fished.
