Echoing Chris here. They posted there was 5" on the lake a few weeks back but when I went out there was only 3-4" along the western wed-bed/shoreline. Bring a spud bar and take a couple of wacks to test and always wear your hand spikes!

We ended up using Lake Hopatcong. Dove off Lee's Marina. Ice was great at 5" for pretty much all 4 days. Sunday (2/18) it started to thin out but still good at our dive site. Definitely not good for fishing; open water showing all around. We were decked out in dry suits, pfd's and tethered to safety tender. Thank you all again for the help. Oh, and we didn't see any fish, but tons of structure down there!
