Lunker, I've been out there when it's snowing and you talk about beautiful. I caught alot of 14 and 15 inchers last winter up from long lake to the 43 bridge and welfare hole. It was wierd though a few times. There'd be 20-30 boats out there and not alot of fish being caught deep but I was catching them 7 foot down in 25 FOW. Only reason I knew to fish that shallow was cause I'd seen them with the 997
