Any recommendations on depths to fish (both how deep of water and how far down to fish) would be appreciated. My 3 yr old grandson is so excited to go for his first Strawberry trip! I am a bit concerned if he things it is a fruit/treat!I guess if I keep the small doughnuts present, he should be happy either way!
Thank you in advance!
I've had the chance to go a couple of times in the past 10 days or so. Edges are fine. The ice thickness is approaching "extension" level, and walking on the most recent visit was pretty good. There is a hard crust snow layer and some frozen slush layers but I wasn't breaking through any of that with foot travel on Saturday. As for the action, as experienced by both me and friends, it has ranged from slow to incredible, sometimes on the same outing and frequently location dependent. Speaking in generalities, I'm not sure I have an obvious suggestion for you other than try something new if where you are or what you are doing isn't working.
Good luck.
