Thank you everyone for your input.
I went to Rockport this morning (Sat). Temp was 8 degrees. I brought a plank but the Edges were solid getting on and off. Mud was frozen when I got there, muddy when I left at 10:30. Evidence of water on the edges, could have been from the slush from previous. Ice was clear and solid, I didn't measure, I would estimate 8-10 inches. Catching, well it was good but lots of Dink Perch. I have done much better later in the day, say 12-1, than I have early in the morning, but with the warming weather, I wanted on and off the ice while it was solid.
The grandsons (4 and 2), had fun (eating doughnut holes is the main attraction) and putting fish in the bucket. That was the most important reason for going!
