Just got off the lake I was fishing over by the rock. there is about 10" of good ice and 4" of frozen slush where I was at. Thinking about pulling the big house out there this am for a few days

thanks FATTY , hoping to get out to that structure on saturday. It is good to hear that the slush has locked up. We are hoping to get into some gills by day and walleyes by night. That lake is one crazy fishery with way too many spots to fish. I like the challenge

if your out on the lake and see 3 1980's polaris sleds and a blue clam, stop on by.

Lots of trucks on Big Birch..mostly hard pack with some drift moguls for the sleds

Was by large 3ft reef on big birch one walleye and a few perch off of drop in 14ft of water, cold front hurt the fishing.

Caught eater size crappies on red barn bay across from diamond point on Big Sauk Lake in 34 feet of water. They were usually at 20 feet on the sonar but would range deeper than that. Crappie minnows were the ticket.

Good luck out there!!
