nwfisher,check the ice w/auger and if you hahe 3 inches or better of clear ice your good.Start about 1 foot off bottom w/64th or 80th jighead and waxworm.Also use 2 pound test /superlight pole and a coil spring bobber .If you have a vexilar you can find and catch em alot faster!Good luck!PS.black and orange /chartruese jigheads have been the best.
