Fished Thompsons point yesterday 3-10-15 from 7 am till noon had four flags and jigged up 2 small lakers in about 75 FOW have not seen this much ice on the broad lake in YEARS! P.S. love my new Propane Eskimo Auger still on my 1st bottle of propane and I fished so far at Willoughby twice, Capsian twice .Fished the tip of the point and the northwest side i had in one hole while checking bait fill up with 2-3 in smelt so would suggest setting up half on botton half on top. Good Luck

I've seen a lot of dead alewives out there under the ice and in kingsland bay too.

I've caught perch in Kingsland that were puking up both smelt and alewifes.
