Sorry, didn’t jump back on soon enough. Ice was plenty thick. I took addicted2fishn’s advice and called the marina. The storm dumped more snow than the forecast so we got a friend with a snowmobile. My Rhino wouldn’t have gone 10 feet. There were some deep slushy spots that slowed the snow machine a bit but no big deal. Didn’t go where we wanted because of the whiteout conditions we were afraid we wouldn’t be able to find our way back in the dark. First hole was in 7 feet of water. Hmm? Better move. We ended up in 20 fow maybe 1/2 mile from the ramp. It was pretty good from 6-7:30 but we didn’t get a bite after 8. Kept marking fish but no bites. If I didn’t mark fish I just did some big jigging and they would almost immediately show up but wouldn’t bite after 8. Big glow tube jig, small glow tube jig, and glowing paddle bug tipped with something all worked well.
