| 7-8" on BDM...only a few tiny whitebass. And I mean tiny. About 7" of snow with some drifts up to 12". A little slush in some places with the deeper snow. Heading back to 'Bago tomorrow...at least I can find a meal there. |

| He he he! Jayman, the little dude from mars was always a favorite of mine. I think he's used a 243 Space Modulator.

Location: Menasha, WI | Finally was able to get onto the north end yesterday. Had 7" of solid, clear ice up to 3/4 of a mile out. There were a few seismic shifts while I was out there and one of the heaves I crossed in the morning was a little wider on my way in. Fished in 13'-15' and had mostly sniffers and a little action but couldn't get 'em on the ice -- the perch were just kind of gumming the minnows and would let go. On my walk back in, I found some weeds through the clear ice and will be giving those areas a shot tomorrow. |

| I've had tip-ups out in front of my house for a week straight (attened) without a single bite. I measured the ice 200 yards off shore today and it id 5 inches... it was 12 last week. |

Location: Menasha, WI | I was out by the cluster off Wagoo very early this morning. Set up away from the group to the south a few hundred yards and had steady action -- a half dozen perch with 3 over 11", a couple of whities, and a 13.5" crappie. By 9am the group grew and I was completely surrounded and the traffic killed the bite. Blue/chrome rap tipped with waxies took almost every fish.
Thanks to the OSFC for their hard work allowing us to get out there. |

| We had a spot near one of the cracks out in the middle where a sheet had been pushed under another and we couldn't even drill through it all. Lots of cracks/shoves out there this year in all directions. Most are probably safe to cross, but boy you better be careful if you're the first guy.
No access off Merritt, if Waugoo is the only access, it'll get beat up pretty bad.
Not much for fish, kept 6 crappie and fought a sturgeon for a while on 2lb test before he gave up and spit the hook 
Lots 'o shad out there. |

Location: Menasha, WI | Does anyone know anything about the barrier erected at the access point at end of Indian Point Rd. I've used this access to get out to Garlic for years and when I went to check out the conditions today, I see that 'someone' has planted two poles and run a cable across the access with a 'No Lake Access' sign. Any info? |

| Bob, I think you should call the city about that cable. I have been busy with work, kid wrestling, took kids to visit grandma in FL for Xmas etc. |

Update: After piecing together numerous messages, it seems that 'someone' is just playing games here. After a report from one angler that he went off that access point yesterday, I checked it out this morning and, sure enough, the cable was gone and there were numerous vehicle tracks out onto the lake. |

Location: Menasha, WI | Went on a little adventure up to Little Sturgeon Bay today and had lots of fun. Caught lots of whitefish and lost even more. Also caught a bunch of small perch and a few small eyes too. Sure beats the heck out of the frustration on Bago. |

| Gotta be nasty out on the lake with this snow/wind. I guess for us ice fishermen it's good it happened right before sturgeon spearing instead of right after. |
