ice is very thick most of the holes i drilled out on the main lake were over 18 inches...some were closer to 2 feet.....a few pressure ridges but easy running with all the snow on the ice

That is certainly a great trip.  4 fish at the taxidermist is wonderful.  Were the other large ones released?

Congrats.

Is that Dave Lundwall in the last pic in the red coat?  Were you guys using a 10inch auger or an 8?

Hey Jack
A buddy and I are heading that way in the morning, any chance I could pick your brain a little.  If you can email me at
[email protected]. You don't have to give out your spots, just some general info.

Thanks a bunch

Chad
