Post by: Fishondog on Jan 02, 2008, 09:20 AM

 ice 10-12 in, water crystal clear, went out for a few hours sun, bite was light.  1 eye, 1 pike, 1 small perch  but seen a dozen or more eyes through the hole in the hardtop just like looking in the aquarium in 14ft of water off eagle point. Seen some big eyes:yikes: but will have to wait till next time.  :tipup:

It is definitely worth it if you want walleye.  The DNR planted a fair number of them in 2002.  If you like to catch pike and muskie, it's a good lake for those too.
