Great fish Jeff, I think we may head that way around the middle of next month, Hows the ice thickness? I usally like to fish the reach off roblins hill rd. if the ice is good but if not I will shoot over off big Island. I have'nt made the trip to the BOQ in a few years since losing my fishing partner to a tragic accident. The last time we made the trip we had a great run at the eyes. I've taken a 13#6oz as my largest. going to bring a newbe to the bay this time, good eye catcher in the fingerlakes so I'll see how he does on the bay. Any info anytime would be helpful
