I still ride on the lake and take my chances.  The local police seem to be lenient as long as your not "joy ridin'.  Same with Whitney PT.

Probably the same guy that my friend had arrested for hunter harassment a few years back.   He was saying how you couldn't duck hunt here next to the park blah blah blah.   Then came out and started shooting a rifle in the air over my friends boat.   He left in cuffs shortly after.

I love a happy ending to a story

That's hilarious...not the shooting over your buddy but the part when he got arrested. What a moron...
I guess I'll still take my chances droppin the wheelers off at the park. It's easy to argue that we're not there to tear up the lawn.
Why do people gotta take the fun outta everything we do?

and about crossing the narrows...Last year I dragged in from the dam and fished gill early, then made a move to the main lake for some perch. The narrows were golden at 9:00 am, but by 4:00 pm, there was a foot wide pressure crack with about 10" of water on top.
We walked around...

Hey all, first year ice fishing. A friend recommended spikes for panfish on otisco. Does anyone know what depth the perch are biting at? How do I go about rigging the spike? What kind of/size hook? Do I use a split shot for weight? All replies are greatly appreciated. Bent rods everyone!

lipripper  if  you  go  to  otisco  I  find  the  people  there  are  the  nicest  icefisherman  I  have  ever  met  I  suggest  just  asking  someone  and  I'm  sure  they  will show  you

A few jackson perch in about 18'. But they are few and far between.
We've been getting the big perch on shiners - no tigers yet....hmmmm.
