Greg2ha,
Not sure if Sand is still open. As of last Saturday it was still way open. I was going to check it today after I got done at Rivir, but was tired so I just headed home. I think I am going to try Dock for a change of scenery. I have ice fished it in the past, but not for about 2 years. Not sure if I am going in the AM or PM yet, but it will probably be AM because in the evening on Dock your Vex fills up with feed back from all the microorganisms in the water column.
