As for fishing, the bite is ultra light. Very few are hitting hard and taking the hook in far enough to get a good hook set.
The Ice was very very loud on the weekend, and heaves were breaking and pushing up. Go slow as we hit some hard push ups that we did not see until right on top of them.
Ice is about 40 inches. I can still get through with the Jiffy but its down to the hub to break through. Next weekend I will put on the extension.
Hope this helps.

Somewhat unrelated, but I've had a similar bite to what you are describing for the last week, been having far better luck hooking them on a tip-up setup than I have on a jigging rod.
For example, this morning I caught 4 fish on a jigging tip-up, to the best of my knowledge I did not miss a single strike. I got two nudges on the jigging rod but didnt hook up, no fish were caught on that line.
