My water clarity went from 30" in September/October to 80-90" now. At first ice I could see my rock piles in 8'+ depth - really cool to see. I just wish I could figure out the pattern on my main pond...fish move a ton under the ice, probably due to lack of structure. One can sit and wait, or move every 20-30 min to find fish. Frustrating for such a small BOW, especially as I know those 12" YP caught in 2010 should be well over 14"+ now.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
