My SIL and I setup pretty much in the center of the lake. The water was about 15 ft and ice was about 11 inches. We fished for about a couple of hours with a few bites and 1 rainbow iced. I then drilled a couple of holes about 150 yds from the east shore but the water was only 2-3 ft deep so I moved back out another 100 yds. The water there was about 3-4 ft and we fished it for maybe 1/2 hour with no luck. We then moved back out still further and only 100 yds east of our initial couple of holes. The water was about 15 ft and Dave iced 2 rainbows and I iced 1. The 4 rainbows were about 14" long but appeared much heavier than those of the same length we caught at Carson last weekend. Dave also caught a large brown which we lost as it was being pulled clear of the water. We guessed the brown at 5-6 lbs.
Dave and I were using very similar setups; his hook had maggots and a power ball, mine shrimp and a power ball (later I switched from shrimp to maggots). I was fishing at 12" then 24" off the bottom, he was about 4-5 ft off the bottom. This is the second time I fished only a foot or so off the bottom and Dave about 5 ft. He outfished me this time and last.
