Thanks for the information Kiwi. How is the fishing there around xmas and new years? or how about the end of january? Were hoping to head up to the cabin during xmas break and i want to convince my dad that it's just like fishing in the summertime LOL we always have good success in july. Also what do you use for bait? I tried shrimp, krill and muel worms last year but the fish didn't seem to hungry. We were there in March btw. ALso how much ice is there usually around xmas?

cheers
