Finally got out Wednesday. Glad I didn't go searching for an auger extension. I don't believe I'll be needing one this year. Ice in front of the dam is about 30" close to the face and 24" further out.
Catching was slow and light. All but one were only 10 to 12 inch bows. The biggest was maybe 14". As Groundtrac stated earlier, fishing near the bottom resulted in loss of bait quickly by the really little guys. Every fish I caught was on pink paddle or green spider tipped with crawler at 5 to 7 ft depth in 10 to 20 fow.
At least the weather was nice. Got a bit of burn on my forehead, cheeks and neck.
Oh, and by the way, catching did not improve after sunset. Just got colder! Good luck whereever ye be this weekend...
