I havent been out to Spring since Sunday. There was an easy 10 inches. I'm going back out this Sunday and would be surprised if there was not a vehicle out there. F-it I'm driving out.

[shakojdub1425]

Ok thanks. Anybody seen anyone out there? Im sure somone has...

Last 2 times out (last friday and sunday) I parked on the lake close to shore, many others have. This was on the north side by the winter access. I'm sure its build another 2-3 inches since then. Its your call if you want to drive on 12-13, I'd imagine thats whats there atleast.

I would be happy if it was at least twelve just want to bring my house house without having to bring a wheeler. Well see i think i will drive by there in a bit

I was out wed. on 12 inches in a full size truck. i didnt drive across the middle of the lake, and i wasnt the only one either.

Much of the same from me...I was out there Saturday and say a few full sized trucks on the east end. I was in my portable on the north side and saw about 9 - 10 inches of ice. I left Spring and went to Odowd...ppl were alot more aggressive with the vehicles. I saw at least 15 on the ice with about 12 inches of ice.

Was on Spring this morning. Solid 12" in the areas I fished. Was 30 or more vehicles out there all around the lake including mine.

Well the good news is we drove around the whole lake and drove back off. Good 12 inches of ice in every hole we drilled and we drilled a lot. The bad new we still can't find the fish. Thought since we could get over by the barn that maybe we would get into some. Caught one small one right away and that was it. Started in 17 fow and punched holes for 500 yards towards shore and another 500 yards out deeper. Tried the deep hole in the middle south shore where the perch are south east in the deep and all along the north side again. 3rd time out on the lake this year and come home empty each time. Got to give my son credit though even though he knows we can go to cedar and limit out in an hour he wants to try for the bigger ones. Pretty good for him since he can't even sit though 2 quarters of the vikings without giving up on them and turning it off. Please let us know if anyone is catching out there. We don't want to know your spots it would just be nice to know if we should keep trying. Take care and good luck.

I was out this summer and noticed all the weeds were gone, and water was a dark green color. It looked like they sprayed the lake in areas but I could be wrong. When I was out I went all over never sat for 20 min, didn't catch a thing.

If my weed kill theory is correct there most likely hiding. And hard to find.

[Love2Cabin]

Well let hope that the weed kill did not do a fish kill. I'm sure they are still in there just not where they used to be.

[DrJuice1980]

Pretty sure it didn't kill them off. Marked a good amount of them the other day, very tight lipped. Tons of bait fished marked, tons. I kept having to check my hummingbird to make sure I wasn't on some weird setting. Nope just a ton of baitfish.
