Fished Murphy Lake on saturday. Between two guys we caught 16 bass 3 were caught on jigging spoons the others on tipups baited with golden roaches.

I have a power auger that is a 8 inch auger like here under-the-open-sky.com/best-ice-augers. I have back issues when it hits the end of the hole it jars me sometimes and hurts me.

Need my WCF solid water fix till spring.
We've had some semi good ice. Seen some people out on the bay (usual spot) passing by last week.
Dropped off a job in lake villa off of Grand last Friday late afternoon ( I think? might have been Thur.) and passed by a WCF members home lake and spotted 3-4 ice-fisherman out on the ice. Any luck Basscaster ? :wave:
Props to Cyanatic, still fishing open water! :thumbup:
