On that note: got out on Cedar Lake last night for smelt fishing, and there were maybe 4 inches of bad ice.  I thought for sure that there would be at least 6 inches.

Marked lots of smelt, but getting them to bite was a different story.  A friend also caught a 20" pike on an ultra lite.

I don't know how many of you guys went to the article, but here is my question... the the H is a "fur" tree?? 

[lvwalleye]

"fur" was misspelled, should be fir tree, a species of tree in the conifer group.  Usually known as a Douglas Fir in Michigan.  However a number of small furry critters can be found in them.  Heard their easy to skin but hard to stretch,  don't know how much the hides are bringing.

Some big smallies in that lake!
