Yes the best splake I have ever caught has been in less than 3 feet of water.

I do find it best to cut the hole. Chum the hole and cover with pine bows then snow and come back in a day. The pine will keep the hole from freezing over and walk to the hole don't drive right up with the sled. Drop the line in a keep it bouncing off the bottom. Work like a charm.

Cheers Don.
