    there is 2 access points , one off kellar rd there is a municaple lot and a right of way , two big bay marina off camic rd . good ice all over the bay , some slushy spots and a foot of snow witch is mostly frozen . snow machines are doin fine wheelers are a no go . fish are everywhere in the bay but not allways active . be mobile and prepared to drill alot of holes till you find some biters and when you do drill 4 or more holes in the same area and hop its called the big bay shuffle . smaller jigs in orange or black have been best for me 2# line and a strike indicator are key as theyre hittin real light , im not much of a line wacher but the guys that are good at the drop and watchin the line are cleanin up . its a weedy bay so if you use a flasher find a more open spot or use a s cable . 8fow has been key for the bigger fish for me . good luck and be prepared theose gills are huge , but really pressured . stay till dark or after for some big ole slab crappies . hope this helps good luck :tipup:
