Heading there tomorrow. I saw a report that said 10" last weekend, any change?  Was hoping someone was there today-Thanks

Thank you, Eric.  Fished today. Slow start, but my son caught his first fish through the ice on his own.  A large mouth, about a pound.  He drilled, he measured for depth, baited his own tip up, set the hook and landed that fish-I could not be happier for him. It was a good day.

must me the same tape measure you measure your piece with 🤣 10 is a little exagerrated

Granby that's awesome for you two. You must have been so happy for him and I'm sure he was psyched too. Well done Dad!

Edges were hurting I found only 1 spot to get on without getting wet. Getting soft in the sun I left at 130 only 1 bite.
