Great Ice fishing

Well the lake has a save 8.5'' of ice now with alot of the places having 10''. I have my ice houses out now and have been catching alot of perch. The snow keeps getting deper as of today we gt another 5-6'' soe it is at the 12'' mark for totals goes. Now the ice will not freeze thicker as qiuick since there is a blanket if snow cover. I drive my 4-wheeler out right now since i have a 1-ton for a pickup and i like to have at least 20'' for that heavy thing.
