[QUOTE="gatorbaiter, post: 63395, member: 999"] Drilling holes that touch does work, but that's a lot of holes if there's two to three feet of ice. Also pushing the slab under the ice will work but only with a foot or so of ice. What i do is drill a hole and then look down it, just cover your head with a coat or even just your hands alongside your face. Drop a flashy lure down and until you cant see it anymore. If its five feet or more of clarity your good to go. Fished creel bay at devils last year and it was very clear. no fish when we were there but that's just minor detail. could see the bottom in almost twenty feet. As far as making it murky it totally depends on how bad it is to start. When you can barely see i'll just stab the fish instead of letting go of the spear. You hit bottom in muddy spot like that and your out of business for ten to fifteen minutes at least. I get really tired of staring into a murky green hole when i cant see bottom so i usually dont even try. The egg shells give your eyes something to focus on which is why their so usefull. I usually fish where is more sandy so it doesn't stir up too bad. I bout one of those micro cameras for about 250 to try with some stuff like this and wasn't worth it. maybe if you had a high dollar one it might work. I just usally look down the hole. [/QUOTE]
