Was up there last night.  Only caught 38. For some reason they quit biting at around 9:30PM.  Stayed till 11:00 and then quit.  The ice is fine. Don't know where you could park to put a ATV on the ice.  Didn't see any out there.

There is 5-6" on the South Bay with limited parking and no where to launch a quad that I know of. The rest of the lake,as I was told today, has about 3" on it. Boat launch on north end is best place to get on with quad but not enough ice yet. Could be a couple weeks with the warmer weather coming.

i seen someone park on the side of the road right at the corner and unload a quad and they sat out there till about 11:00 or so and nobody messed with them

If you are fishing the south bays you dont need a quad, the walk is pretty short and the path is well beaten down.

was you guys out there 2 years ago when they had all those trucks out there on the south bay and dnr went out there and wrote them all tickets for no orv sticker

Once the ice forms on the rest of the lake I am out of the bay and never go back. Until first ice the next year.

You must really have the right set up.......I am a rookie at this and usually miss 3 times as much as I hook. I need a lesson.  That is pretty darn good catching 130 between dusk and 9:00.....WTG

He has the perfect set up...a 2X4 foot hole and a net ...Actually,dgb spends a lot of time "perfecting his craft" as I've seen him in action...and his lessons don't come cheap
