The Good:
I fished what most would think as the worst spot (off main boat dock) and came home with two dandies (~ 22").
The Bad:
The road in was marginal.
The Ugly:
The ice was so thin that I had to employ my most conservative measures since I was the only one there. This included running a rope from the dock out to my furthest hole, then from the auger while seated in a hole to my furthest exploratory point. I estimate the ice thickness at 2.5" although it was clear, good and did not break even at the edges.
The ice was insulated so please be careful....
I will try to post a photo from my cell phone but may not be reduced in size since I can't remember the secret....
