Well another foray out this a.m. 10-11 inches of ice. Looked for the elusive "Slot" my neighbor spoke of ... no luck hit about 6 ft. max where he said the area was. Hand augered about 15 holes got to about 6 ft. on a couple. went further up to the main part of the lake cut another 2 holes and those tested out at about 7 ft. (not too weedy.) To be fair to this old lake, I really have not give it a full on the ice day and I've fished a lot during the day. To be fair I need to get out early a.m. in some 7 ft water and hit a full day of fishing. Like I've said before all the fish don't go to Boca for the winter. They are here somewhere. I just need to find them. I have great luck early a.m. on this lake in the summer, maybe the same for the winter. oh well another day another bucket of shiners.
