Have some friends coming tomorrow to fish so decided to go do a pre-fish and see if they were still hanging around the same place off of swim beach that Jeff and I hit last week. As I get to the parking area I see Jeff is out also so unloaded and headed out to him to see if he minded some company. I moved out past him to some deeper water and drilled some holes with the new auger set up in 17’ of h2o. Action was pretty steady with a little slow down for about 45 mins, had around 10 doubles along with all the singles, ended up keeping 5 or 6 for dinner of the larger ones. I fished a tear drop jig under a slip bobber with a very small piece of crawler just off the bottom. Water that was on the ice from the previous day rain has all frozen and ice is around 4” and looks to be all clear as before. Big thanks to all who were discussing augers/drills in the other thread, decided to go with a k-drill and a Fuel drill that Santa brought to the house, man does that make punching holes a breeze. Great fishing with Jeff again and got to see his underwater camera in action.
