sweet looking fish and the scenery pick is nice too. Are those dog tracks in the second pic or deer or what?

 hey cliff , no stink bait yet need more minnows to furment.  scott it is a sweet spot to fish.  yes that is open out near the isle. ice near the shack was 4"s, out towards the isle was 1 1/2"..  the fish are sitting on a 5 gal. bucket lid .
