Hi gazin16,
I headed out to the lake about 3 weeks ago. I was there early. I used a 2 oz. bucktail jig with a hering, 1 oz. jig with minnow and no luck. I moved all over the lake and was using my fish finder. I saw quite a few smaller fish (not very deep) and a bunch of fish at about 120ft. Not one bite the whole day. It was my first time at this lake, I managed to talk to some locals and people who had success in the past, I didn't hear or see one person with a fish on the ice. Long drive from Edmtn for no fish.
Were you using something different for a presentation?
Thanks,
MM

Have to use anchovies for bait, nothing else works. Just put a piece on you bucktail

I was in anywhere from 80-105ft of water, as for lures and bait i think the northland flyers are pretty good and they will hit without bait but it does'nt hurt to add a piece of herring or anchovie. I find you always have to be moving the lure for them to take notice and strike.
We only had luck with glow in the dark buck tail jigs
easy to see in deep dark water
