It was cold but we braved it. It was my first time there so didn't know what to expect. Used the left over frozen minnows the father-in-law picked up at Bits & Baits the day before and we were set to rock!
Ice was very thick, at least 1.5 feet thick. Lots of permanent shacks and large trucks on the ice so I wasen't worried about driving the Sante Fe out there. We just picked a spot right out in the middle of the lake where there were no other shacks around. Not too far from the launch.
Fished for about 3 hours and I caught 3 small pike (largest about 3 lbs) and 5 perch. The GF had lots of nibbles but her lucky jig head that was nailing them on Meech the day before only brought 2 perch up the hole. Not a bad afternoon overall and lots of fun.

Also heard there are Crappie and Walleye in there ....? Will have to go back another day to try for them.
Hoping to hit The Larry on Saturday for some larger Gators! But we'll see how the ice conditions are
