Time for a real report--1st time out. Fished from 4-7:30. A bar in the middle of the lake. Don't worry about the ice, there's plenty of it. 6" minimum or 9" by shore. The good news is the action was hot. C&R a 27" northern before my chair was even warm. Got about 7 walleyes total BUT (bad news, if you can call it that) they were small. 6 were 12-15" and one was 18". Lots of fish in that smaller year class.

I was over 19ft of water. Had a tip-up in 14ft but most the action was deeper. Hardly anyone else out. Going again Saturday.
