Was out on French's bay this weekend ( Saturday ) drilled test holes from the boat launch at the campground out into 100' of water.
I drove my half ton out there. I had 13.5" of ice under my tent. Always have gone 12" as a rule with my half ton. My Grandpa's rule also.
I drilled a hole on a icy spot with no snow about 60' over and measure 18" at that spot. I had a tape measure , not guessing.
We were set up by first light ( 90 ' )and had 6 by 11am. Nothing after. all undersized and released. First time fishing this lake first time fishing Lakers. Helix 7 Sonar was picking up fish that would mildly follow the hook then leave it alone, this was after 11am. I will be going back soon with more tackle!
