Time to put on the extension. Cal Ranch usually has them if you don't!

When I was there last week I used my hand auger and had to get on my knees to go all the way through. What a pain in the butt that was. I ended up just using some other peoples old holes that were pretty fresh. Much easier than drilling through all that ice!

I was having my best luck in about 18' of water . That is unusual for me . Normally they are shallow . Curt G.

Thanks for the report, the college is doing a ice fishing trip this Saturday and a bunch of noobs are headed up. Any advice on colors? Pink n white paddle bugs?

Most fish were caught on PinK Paddle Bugs . The bite is very soft , most were caught on Jigger Totters . Curt G.

Curt next time go over to lakesid we got 13 . Five were in the 2# class the rest were 12 to 15" . 1" yellow jig with sucker meat worked best. Jigging didn't seem to help just fished 2' off the bottom 15 to 20' of water.

Thanks for the report . I was at lake Side two weeks ago . It as pure hell , 16" of snow and 10" of water on top of the ice . How thick is the ice over there ? Curt G.

There was no slush easy walking 4" of snow on 2 1/2' feet of ice. We saw nobody else fishing at all this was friday. We just walked to where the fuel station is for boat then the next little cove north of that 8 to 15' of water . sucker meat ruled over nightcrawlers/meal warms /minnows.
