[size 3]I fished it 2 years ago when only acouple of bays had ice and it was only 3-4 inches thick. I knew it would be shallow so I drilled my first hole and just as i punched threw my auger hit bottom. So I continued to drill till I found a creek channel that gave me a depth of about six feet and since I was already there I fished right there. In about 30 seconds I had my first fish and continued to catch fish about every 10 minutes after that. The schools were coming up the creek channel every ten minutes and I would catch about 3 fish every time. You should have seen the look on the boaters faces when they would pull up to that little chunk of ice and see me reel in fish. I am thinking that in a week or 2 I will go check out the bays to see if it is safe ice.[/size]
