fishing near dam

[E- man]

Ice 8 1/2 " Marked fish but they were moving all over. 2 crappies 8" Fished 2-6 PM. Talked to a guy that came off the ice across from lodge He fished from 7:30 AM til about 1:45. Had only a few keepers. Slow bite. A lot of guys out there. Decided on dam again. Maybe next time.Beware of dirty ice. Lot of wind blown sand in the ice.Took the edge right off my new auger blades!

had the same problem up at Geneva  while the water was freezing the sand mixed in and my new blades were junk after 4 holes

Thanks for the reply. Nice job on the steelie. Never fished thru the ice for them. A lot of fun in the rivers & creeks when ice goes off. Caught a 31" a few years ago. Great fight!
