12/13/2020: 10" of ice. By now most guys are pushing "deep" (13-14') to fish new water and get away from the masses, however a shallow bit still exists if you are willing to cover ground and get away from the crowds and road traffic. We did quite well in 10' of water with spoons and deadsticks with a minnow and plain hook. If they didn't bite the spoon it was more than likely they would hit the deadstick rod so it was important to have both. Red, glow red, and chartreuse are always good starting places. Tie on a rattling spoon or rattling hard bait to help call fish in to your area if its slow.
