It is totally open now.
Water level is even raising.

Thanks. I ended up taking the boat out yesterday, and ventured around to check out the lay of the lake. Ice free everywhere I went. No fish though. There seems to be an abundance of large shad outside the north marina.

How were you fishing? Jigging, trolling, etc?

 We were jigging primarily. 

You should try a method that a lot of use use, it's called fligging. We slow troll the fligs we get from TubeDude at .5 mph, using cut bait. Just a few weeks ago and last month before it froze up we caught them vertical jigging but that did not work for us on Fri when we were out there.
