contour maps are out the window for this one anyways, it dont matter what humps, holes, drops, flats or whatever are there, with 6000+ holes and 500-700 machines out there its a crap shoot wherever you fish. lol. BNasically the pond is abou 4-6' deep until you get to the narrow points on the right and it starts to get a bit deeper, the deepest water is all the way back to the right and in the middle. Drops to almost 30' back there but its not a very big area either. thats what I got

NYpike said it! It's really a crap shoot on the fishing and a luck of the draw! More of a hang out with a bazillion other fishermen crammed on a small waterway having a good time!! @)

As far as numbers, no way to tell until the tourney happens - just like most other tournaments, most people wait until the tourney day to enter...

its easy if you want deep go way down the lake to the right of rod and gun, if you want shallow stay in front of rod and gun club

heres a little something. red lines are marked off areas for thin ice, yellow is deep hole, green is boat launch. and there will be a major road running right down the middle of the lake

NYPIKE thanks for that great contour map. Helps out a lot.

Hotel rooms have to be pretty sparse by now aren't they?

dam my memory of the deep water was way off...lol..NYpike, do you live up there?, i dont remember going that far down the ice to get to the deep water...but if you see me huggin up next to you its cuz im following yr map, not mine..lol...
yes, i live about a mile away from the pond, 1/3 mile by snowmobile. I will be in the shallow 4ft flats, thats where 80 percent of the fish come from.
