[QUOTE="Lungdeflator, post: 245707, member: 5163"] Well we got out on Sak on Saturday. It was cold and a bit windy. We got on at the totten landing just west of the pump station. Had to park right off the highway and ATV the rest of the way, the trail was blown in with deep snow. Once on the lake, there were some deeper 10-12" drifts here and there but a truck would've been OK. All the ice we measured was 18-20", nice solid clear ice. We started on a point on the other side of the intake channel to the pump station. Cutting a spear hole, the gears in my auger blew up on the 4th hole. Luckily we had decided to bring my buddies ION along just in case something dumb happened like that. We got setup and sat from 9-12. Saw 3 nice walleye right away, then some tullibee/whitefish, only pike we saw was a smaller one chasing the tullies. We caught 5 tullies on small jigs with minnow heads. Kept them for lake trout bait. After that we moved across the channel and sat over a spearhole from 1230-2. Water was more clear, but we didn't see any fish. Packed up and headed out to the sunken island area, called the 7 sisters I think. The battery was getting low on the ION so we didn't get to scout spots like I wanted to. One hole we drilled up on top of one of the humps showed a nice big stump/tree in 10fow. Surrounding areas looked to be just sand/mud bottom. We were only able to get 2 holes drilled on a saddle in between 2 of the humps before the battery died, so that is where we settled for the evening. Caught 2 small perch, 2 nice eater walleye. Saw one other walleye and some perch on the camera. I'd like to take another look at that area, spend more time drilling holes and scouting with the camera. That area from what we saw was about 7fow lower than what the Navionics phone app said. Sidenote, I took the strikemaster apart yesterday and ordered the neccessary parts from DROCK ice center. About 75$, plus I added in some other things that might be handy to have "just in case" so 100$ total. [/QUOTE]
