Bunch of guys on the ice, nobody posting, so I will.

Fished today out of Catawba SP. Went 1.7 miles nw, 26fow. Auger throttle linkage froze up, choke broke, managed to get holes drilled through the 9" of clear ice. Plucked an eye on first line drop, a 2nd shotly after, then it was slow. Picked up last eye, 6 lber at 9:30. No more eyes, but the perch moved in, and I ended with my limit of perch. Fun, cold cold windy day. Heard reports if good bite at 3.5 miles. Ice was nice, NO cracks! Good luck to all
