I would drill several holes out from 12 to 35 ft and start shallow in the morning and evening and out deeper through the day. Move around through the week if you plan on staying that long. The pics will come by.

How deep is it in front of your dock?

I'd use the auger to retire a bunny or a grouse, screw the ice fishing! Seriously now, is it a lake that you have already fished in the summer or is it a lake that you do not know at all?? Points, bays and river mouths[ this one being dangerous] would be where I would start. Drill out 200 feet from shore and you should get into some muskies!! Just kidding. Round about fifty feet and check the depth. Most fish will be in the 15 to 35 foot areas. Of course the lakers et al will be out much deeper. In between islands would be a good bet also. Back bays will hold fish too.

There can only be one !! and that is us the OFC!! There are imitators out there and wannabe's but the best is right here!! Congrats to all of us for making this site the best site bar none. As Tj has mentioned in the past, this is our site, we made this happen, so everyone give yourselves a pat on the back for making this a great day to be an OFC'r !! Cheers!!

Word !! But seriously, DouG needs to apologize to the board for his use of the english language!!

Steve, make sure that before you starting heating the pipes, you open the hot water tap to full. If not the pipe will burst. OOPs sorry Terry I just read the same thing in your thread.

Wow Ric is a star!!

Channa is the Latin name for a group of fishes that also is known as Snakeheads and Frankenfish. Channa species has gotten a lot of attention in TV and media lately since these fishes that are normally found in south eastern Asia and Africa have been found living and breeding in American waters. They have primarily been found in Maryland but occasional finds have been done in other areas of the country. Channas (frankenfish) are very predatory fish and can grow to almost one meter in length (one yard) and it is therefore feared that these fishes could cause large damages to the local ecosystems if they are able t establish a population in the US. Frankenfish can however only survive in a small part of America since they require warm waters and breathe atmospherically oxygen and will drown if the water it lives in is covered with ice. Many states forbid Channa fishas a result of the discovery and a national ban on importing snakeheads to America were instituted in 2003. Channa species can however still be found in fish stores and in Asian fish markets since the fish is considered a delicates in Asia . Many aquarists are very upset with this prohibition since it prevents them from keeping these interesting fishes in their aquariums even if they live in areas of the US where the Channaspecies couldn't survive in the wild. Channa species is due to fact that they breed air able to walk on land to find new waters to live and feed in. It also make it possible for Frankenfish to survive in small water bodies with low oxygen levels. You can find more information about different Channa species, how to keep them in aquariums and the effects on the environment in areas where they been able to establish a population on this site.

Hey Zack. How about writing down some of the callers numbers and handing them out to callers who ask for ice conditions. Tell them that the number is a hotline for conditions. That will learn them

Nice pictures there Moose!! Were those lakers caught off the niagara bar?

I have yet to see something "official" for the Lakair G2G. Personally I'd prefer it in August, less bugs and more active muskies.

Was a great game to say the least.

Nice!!!
