    Be extremely careful!
    Went out this morning to Koehlers. Last week there was 10 inches here after the 60 degree weather. Long story short, walked out about 25 yards and fell through "I was kind of in shock, since I was no where near a pressure ridge". Luckily I had hold of my Otter sled/shelter rope and was able to pull myself out since I was alone and there was no one out. The two large ice houses I saw out on the ice at Schatzs coming in gave me a very false sense of security, so take a spud bar if you do plan on going out! Evidently it was wide open water there just a day or two ago so be careful. There is no way I would take an atv on the lake for a long time either.

    Went out this morning trying to go to Shatz Point but the wind opened a huge hole so there was no fishing on ice over there.  Went to the Crappie Creek area and had good luck 20-35 FOW.  Lots of people out today.  Most of our luck came with the bait barely hovering above the bottom.  3 guys came home with 11 eyes and one jumbo perch that was a good 13".

    slow at first, nibbles for a majority of the day, the old take and spit, like the fish were sucking on the bait, but wouldn't take it. We did get some good fish that bit hard, after drilling many holes to get to deeper water.  Marked fish between 17'-42' deep.    Lots of people out in many places on the lake.

    Went out yesterday just to see if anyones was doing any good. Talked to a guy who only had one northern on the ice. He said the ice was aound 12" thick and the bite was very slow. Nobody is driving on the ice, but looks like everyone I saw was within 50-100 feet of shore. Good Luck!

    Fished Tschida on Fri./ Sat.

    Friday- Fished the spillway into the river trying to chase that state record Buffalo...they weren't biting on anything. I had soft, artificial carp bait under a bobber, tried to snag them w/ trebble's, casting cranks...nothing. They were there, saw a bunch of nice sized ones but they weren't going after anything.

    Saturday- Fished with my sister-in-law's brother. Got on the water at about 6:30am and fished till about 11am. Dragged bottom bouncers for a while in a couple different spots (15-20 fow). Got a few small walleyes and a couple white bass. Then we went deep into this bay and was pitching a buck tail w/ a spinner on. I had just recently caught a little hammerhandle northern when, a couple casts later up againts the banks I got another strike. The fish took a couple different runs and told my partner that it must be another small pike. I get it up to the boat to see a 17" walleye! That was fun, caught it in about 3 fow. All in all, I had a great time.
