Used to take a chainsaw and cut small squares out of Miami Co Lake back in the 80's whenever there was good enough ice to stand on. Used a baitcasting Ugly Stick with a Shimano baitcaster to drop jig-n-pigs down the hole for largemouth. I think I was the only one who was ever on this lake, or iced fish at the time lol. Friends thought I was nuts.
Hope the KS group had good ice this year. Good to see you guys active on the Shanty!
