Caught a lot of bass and dink perch yesterday, just a few gills - all on a white w/orange dots Catty teardrop - maybe it's getting betterA WARNING - someone chopped out a 16" hole off Fitch - about 300 yds out on the east side of the north/south tracks - I don't know why anyone would do this because there is nothing in Toga that BIG and the only thing that will come of this is someone or something going in it and getting injured - I seriously question the thought process or if there was one!!!
Hey chessieman, are you sure some one chopped out a hole that big? During that warm spell water will flow into the lake through open holes. I was fishing through a few holes yesterday that were about 15 inches wide on the main ice. I had to stomp through the top layer to get to them, which made it look chopped out. Also not to start trouble, but there are carp in toga that you couldn't get through a 20 inch hole.
Went out today just off the marina South of the 9P bridge and had no luck at all jigging or with my tip-ups using flatheads. Every step was an adventure cutting into 8" of slush and the water filling in every step. First time I've ever fished that area with no flags or hits on my tip-ups and I drilled over 20 holes. Quite a bit of wind, but nice temperature. Spoke to several guys in the parking lot and they had the same luck.Eagle Ed
Im a little confused about 30 or 40? What are you referring to?
Sorry guys I'm a little tired tonight haha
lol, I would be too after hand drilling thru 15"-20" of ice.
Bad morning. My buddy went through the ice between riley cove and snake hill. He is ok just cold. Didnt know there were springs in that area, be careful out there.
They are out as far as 12-15 fow. Which is out pretty far. That whole side of the lake is a mine field if it's unfamiliar to you.
I fish toga a lot and I still found one of the soft spots. I was drilling 15 inches of ice and did a half circle around the area but took a stupid pill and thought I could cut across no problem. So when I got home later that night I explained to the women why I always keep a change of cloths and something to dry off with in the truck at all times.
