We headed out to Forth of July lake at 8:00 A.M. The wind was very bad and the temperature was around 27-30 degrees. The first couple hours we had no bites, except one that my buddy had. We decided to move to a different spot at about 12:00 o'clock and moved farther down the lake. Their were about 4 people on the lake and the other guys were doing pretty good. We didn't catch any until about 12:30, right when we moved. I asked the other guys what they were using, and they were using powerbait, so I put some on my line, and in about 20 min. I had a fish on. We were surprised at how big the fish was when he got to the hole, we got him through the ice and he was 20 in. and 3 1/2 lbs. Big fish. We fished till 1:30 P.M. and then left to go home. The day was great except for the wind blowing the whole time we where there.

Yes there doesn't seem to be much info at this time, even most tackle stores are iffy about the conditions. And any ice information is very limited. I can tell you Eloika has 5 Inches as of today. Not sure about the fishing though..
