Fishnate, I didnt know you were from logan. Hey the newton ice fishing has me excited. I have never ice fished it, but a couple years back I discovered the insane ammount of bluegills and perch in there during the summer. Had several awesome trips catching hundreds of fish. Plus the possibility of catching a bass or musky just makes me want to spend some serious time jerking fish out of an ice hole on that lake this year. We will have to get together and fish it when it freezes. Do you find the fish concentrated down deep by the dam end during ice over? We killed them mid lake against the west shore in the summer, but they were shallow chasing minnows up against the bank. I am not a fish eater so its important to me not to kill a bunch of fish. Have you had problems with fish death due to air bladder problem?
