Thanks for the reply, I agree, time and area does play a huge role, I actuall got out to Cherry creek tonight, and found the entire lake to be 1"-2" of ice, and discovered that the tower only had about 2"-3" of decent ice, depth was about 0-25' and a ton of shad, only marked one large fish... Ended my night with skunk. no real channels, or points.... May have to wait a couple more days for safe ice to work with
Many time we will drill a series of holes before dark along a drop off or ledge spaced about 10 feet apart and as the sun goes down we start to troll for them going to one hole then to another trying to pinpoint them.
