We fished there from 11am - 9:30pm Saturday. Fishing was slow until later in the afternoon, then BAM!! we filled the lower slot limit, but couldn't bag the larger than 22". Nice healthy bows and cuts.
I watched a monster circle my jig for about 30 minutes, and take and spit 2 times. If I didn't actually watch it take I never would have known it was there. I set the hook once and was immediately broken off.
NOTE: The middle of the ice was 4" of snow, .75" of crust, 8" of slush and then ice. My Gore Tex lost it's Tex and my feet were soaked. The edges were slushy, but not nearly as bad. Our tent had 2" of standing water. We would catch a fish and it would swim in the tent until it found one of the 6 ice holes to make it's escape.
I definitely want to add skis to my sled. It was pushing snow/slush all day making the already heavy load a real bugger!
Best of luck
