got over to Joe's valley yesterday. only ones on the lake that i could see.. the lake is a lot lower then i have ever seen it.. so all my spots i hit are high and dry right now. so it turned into a fish finding trip that did not turn out as good as we hoped.. first spot was about 27 feet deep. fished for about a hour and had 4 or 5 hit's no hookup. moved into 15 feet and my buddy dave caught a 22 inch 3 lbs splake then not-a so moved again not-a again. so one more move and not-a but did see some come in so better then some of the other spots... we did not get a lot of hit-s and did not see to many fish on the finder.. most the time i find fish in that area but the water is so low i dont know where to look right now.. the ice was great 5 to 7 inchs most everywhere... if you go to Joes Valley watch out for the open spots or domes on the ice there are a lot of bubbling springs out there and it keeps the ice open in spots the ice around the is thin as well so best to just stay clear of them..
