Thank you for this valuable information! Did you see any Lake whitefish on the Livescope? I am thinking of fishing for whitefish in this lake.

Jig and minnow and the deadsticks are far out producing more active baits like spoons, swimbaits, rattlebaits etc. I've fished 15+ days between this year and last year and so far haven't caught or seen any really big pike on the Livescope or aqua vu set near big deadbait. Caught a 36.25 and a 34" last March but that's not really anything to write home about. The big ones are in there but they seem to be few and far between compared to 10-15 years ago.

Ice access from the north end or the boat launch is good and not much snow on the ice. Last weekend there was 17-20" of ice so plenty to drive on.
