Tried an overnight out of dutch john past weekend. Fished antelope flats friday, road to the boat launch had 12-14" of snow, made it with chains on front in a tundra, trailering a snow machine [would have been smarter to just run the sled from the highway]. Marked a lot of fish in 60-80 fow, lots of bites no hook ups. then fished deeper, about 100, and iced one 25" mac. Other guys in our group didn't catch anything. Saturday hit lucerne, and marked less fish but more were cooperative. fishing in well over a 100 fow and using tube jigs. Not one strategy worked for all fish, kept changing it up and eventually connected on a few. iced 24", 27" and 41" mac. other guys in our group fishing shallower and not connecting. hoping to make it out again one more time. 6 inches of snow on the ice over 12-14" of ice, with a layer of slush starting to form <1" so far.
