Rockport ice conditions?

I was up there on Saturday at the North end. Closer to the shore the ice was down to 7 inches but that is the thinnest I saw it. The south end is open water. Make sure to bring some ice cleats or shoes with good traction. The beach is frozen solid and really slick. I pretty much slid down the beach to the lake and then had to crawl back up it when I left. The ice on top is really weird and I wasn't liking it at all. It is all pocketed and crusty. If you ever fall on the ice your knee will regret it for a long time. Fishing was a lot slower than it has been but still getting a lot of bites.
