WOW!! what a discussion. I find this whole thing funny. people talk about not giving out lake names to small lakes because there will be too many people out there.....how many people can you realistically put on a small lake, especially if the "parking lot gets full?" 20? 30? and what is a small lake, 50 acres, 100 acres, more? look at higgins lake for example, 10,000 acre lake, probably more than 400 shanty's on the ice on any given weekend. not that much different than having 20 people on a 400 acre lake, but yet people always rave about the fishing on higgins, especially the smelt. the funny thing about that is that you'll have 100-200 people at the west boat launch fishing 65-70 fow for smelt and you'll find me at the south end of the lake in 25-30 fow catchin smelt all day long, day or night. its not about the spot, like many people have said on this website, its about technique, lure, coordinates, and just plain time spent on the ice. it all comes down to how much knowledge you have about the lake. i'll gladly give out information, that is what this website is for, i love to catch fish, but nothing beats the smile you get when you show someone else where to catch them. you'll have a friend for life!
