Took the family (in laws) on a fun day to fourth of july today. First time ice fishing up in Wa and it sure was fun. We ended up with 12 fishs over 14in and 4 that was under between 9 people (lots of sisters and brother in laws:p) I was the only one that did catch my limit even those I was running around drilling holes (thank god I have a gas auger), fixing lines, baiting and ununhooking fish all day. Some how I did it. I only kepted my 2 biggest over 14" which was 18", 16" and release the rest of the 3 which were only 10-12". We were on the ice @ 9am and fish on after 15 min. Ice is still around 5-6" thick. Im sure we would had landed more but the in laws didn't really now how to set the hook, so there was a lot of missed fish.

We used power bait, worms, corn, marshmallow, maggots and jigs. It all works. We caught fish in different depths from 6ft to the bottom which where we was @ is about 15 ft. After I caught my limit (took about 2 1/2 hours) it was time for lunch so we all had lunch on the ice. After that it was a lot of playing around and sitting. It slowed down a lot after 12pm so we left 2:30pm. All around it was a fun lake to fish and ill be sure to come back. GL fishing and be safe.
