I did it when I was a kid through highschool, then got away from it for 25 years. With all the cold temps of the past few years I thought I'd give it another try, been having a ball with it ever since.

Went out today. Plenty of ice. Went in around the Falcon end of the lake, had to search for a place to get on the ice but once I found a solid place it was safe walking. Near the shore(10 feet or so) it can get a little interesting, but I drilled test holes and found that the ice was still 6 inches of clear ice topped off with 4 inches of white ice. On my way out to my spot I drilled 5 holes and every one was around 10 inches total thickness. I caught a mixed bag of gills and sunfish 2 feet off the bottom in 5 feet of water. The fish were really curious today, they would follow the bait all the way to the top of the hole while I was jigging. My fishing bud caught 5 nice gills and I caught 15, so it was a good day.

Fished today for about two hours. The ice was 12 inches thick with about 6 inches of white ice. Nice and warm on the lake. Caught 10 gills in 6 feet of water up by The Falcon Lounge, 5 of them were keepers.

Sure do, I cut a hole in the plywood so the bucket sits on the bottom of the sled, resting on the ice. I went to a private pond the other day and had to hike in about a half mile. I noticed that with a bucket full of minnows, the sloshing around made it a little top heavy. I'm thinking some sort of outrigger.

I pulled it through the woods a couple of times to get to the water without any problems. All the items were mounted along the centerline of the sled and the bulk of the gear is stored low to the sled, giving it a good center of gravity. I seems to work out OK.

Got an old broken sled from the kids and came up wth this idea. The large bucket carries tackle and tools and also offers support for the auger during transport on the ice. The load of the bucket seat is carried by the bottom of the sled on the ice when I'm sitting on it, not the plywood deck. The small blue coffee can is for garbage.The whole thing weighs in at around 20 pounds(with minnows and water). Below the plywood deck is storage for tip-ups. All the accessories on the deck are held in with friction and do not fall off when moving on the ice. I have a 20 foot rope to pull it with that can double as a rescue rope if my partner goes in. I have been working on this for a couple weeks, off and on. Been using it and working out the bugs. my intention is to fine tune the design for use next year.

Thanks. I was talking to a guy on the lake yesterday an he told me that "c5" is the campground. Between you and him I"ll be able to piece it all together.

Alot of members refer to the "c5" and "c6" in reference to fishing spots. I remember an old map of this lake that had these numbers on it, however that was 30 years ago. Do you know ramps these numbers corespond to on a new ODNR map?
