I haven't checked everywhere on the lake, but the spot i'm fishing tomorrow has 8 to 10 inches. Spud your way out, Alum is a tricky place to ice fish, I have spudded my way out, one spot would be 6 hits, 10 feet away 2 hits and I hit water. If you do find good ice set tip ups shallow too deep, and drill a lot of jigging holes in different depths. For eyes I prefer raps or pimples, clear water blue and silver, cloudy water gold. Crappies jig and wax worm with a minnow and bobber in the next hole. I usually put a jig and waxy at the end of the line with a minnow and hook 1.5' above it under a bobber, 1ft off the bottom, this lets the minnow do the jiggn for you. Others might do something different, but this is what works for me. If your looking for a panfish bite, walk straight out of the Howard rd. boat ramp turn left or south, you will see a cove on the left or east side, if you line up the cove with the bridge, find 10ft, you should find some panfish. I fished the spot earlier this year and did fair. Good luck and be safe.

I'm bringing the go pro so my fish don't get edited out this time. I'm willing to put sum money in a pot, but if Dave participates we got to throw in before we go out and make sure we lay out the rules very clearly, he likes to think he out fishes you when he catches 2 carp and you only catch 1 hog walleye. That's the way my ice wife rolls.

I agree its not catching it's fishing. Doesn't matter to me if I catch fish or not , it's just good to be out there. I do also agree though, your catch rate lowers with a north or east wind. I'm not saying you won't catch fish, like slab stated you just have to work harder. Good luck and be safe.

I have a vex I bought 10 years ago, I fish more than the average person does, so I have really used it. I have only had 1 issue, the on and off switch went out, and vexilar sent me a new one at no cost, besides that they spent time on the phone with me to diagnose the problem. I haven't used the others a lot, but have played with them on the ice, I don't see anything wrong with the others its just mine still works fine after 10 years that should say something. I think it's personal preference, I'm sure other icers would let you check out their units on the ice before you make a decision. Good luck and be safe.

What I call and find most exciting about ice fishing, is the chase. Sure anyone can find the group, make a phone call and figure out where the fish are. To do your own homework, look at maps, go out the day before with a spud and vex, makes catching fish that much more rewarding. I have spots I know of that doesn't draw the crowds but produce fish 75% of the time but I am always looking and searching out the next honey hole. Most of the time my ideal areas don't pay off, but you never know till you try, who knows the next spot I try may hold nothing but 10lb eyes, then all those days of catching small crappie in a spot I thought would hold eyes will be worth it. Don't get discouraged if you don't find THE SPOT right away keep trying eventually you'll find THE SPOT you've been searching for. Just a thought, good luck and be safe.

Fishnislife, John Kernan, and I fished 6am till 7pm and all we had to show for it was 4 crappie, 1 cat, and 1 eye. We fished 7fow to 45fow, points, flats, stumps, and creek channels. We used tip ups, jaw jackers, minnows under bobbers, jigging raps, vibes, sweedish pimples, jigs and waxies, and a handful of other lures. We did mark a lot of fish all day, but just couldn't get them to hit, they would follow it up, but wouldn't commit. It still was a great day on the ice, we could've join the crowds in the known spots and caught fish but I think its that much better when you find your own spot no one else has fished and it pays off with some keeper fish. Catching is only half the fun, the other half is the journey you take to find a great location, especially when all the home work you've done pays off. Good luck and be safe.

I agree, the challenge of finding fish and bigger fish makes the pay off that much more better. If I'm catching dinks, moving to a slightly deeper depth usually pays off.

If you want to sell it I would be interested in buying it if the price is right, and fixing it for a backup. PM me and let me know.

Good job, How thick is the ice where you fished?
