I think the ice should be pleanty thick enough by now but if youre unsure you can always drill a hole and see how thick it is. i wasn't saying dont go out past 40 FOW i just haven't personally fished much deeper than that at the berry so i couldn't say i caught fish that deep. i'm sure someone has fished much deeper and caught fish but i haven't so i didn't suggest what i haven't done i only suggested where ive been successful and what not. the road to the marina is usually snow packed and they plow it. someone who has been there recently could chime in on the road conditions however isn't it supposed to snow this week ? if you dont want to venture to the marina if the road is snow packed in a car. the hwy 40 is always plowed and maintained by UDOT so you could go to the ladders or chicken creek east or west. and 4 in tube jigs never fished some thing that big. i'm sure if you try them that will be a big fish that tries to eat that! grandpa always said you wanna catch big fish use big bait right? at least my grandpa did lol . if you get on google maps and look at the marina where the main boat ramp is there is a point west of the marina by the camp grounds it is half to 3/4 of a mile one way from what i could eye ball on google maps. that might not be a bad spot to try. i'm sure you know as well as i do fishing off points are always my go to spots when fishing. has anyone fished by those camp grounds before and had success??? i've always wanted to go over there just didn't have the ambition to walk that far lol..
my experience bringing girls ice fishing it can be a bad day real fast if theyre cold or wet. do you have tent to fish in? and a little portable heater. cheapest i've seen an ice hut is $200 new and maybe $100-$150 off someone on ksl if youre lucky.
