AF Ice,
I was alone at first and tried the west finger. Ice was 6.5 inch but only had two bites, a small slimer and a large sucker. Another guy came and went out from the marina ramp with a camera and found the perch. They were small but at times the action was so hot that I could only fish one pole. I don't know how many I landed but it was a lot. I caught maybe 7 that were in the vicinity of 8" so we may be able to find some decent fish if we get enough people out there.... The other guy and I caught a few slimers but all small. It does increase the interest to think there might be a 20 pounder in there this year.
I will attach a couple photos.
The ice around where we were catching them was 4.5" but as I explored closer to the main reservoir it got about 3" so we should probably use caution for one more day. I didn't have the gps but think we were about 250 yards NE of the ramp. They left the docks out so you won't need to worry about a board this year...
