went to otsego lake today for a laker trip. got to 5 mile point at 6 am. had my first fish at 745. fished in 145 feet of water with 6 inch suckers. i caught 4 lakers and lost 2. 2 21 inchers a 25 incher and a 28 incher. the guy i was with caught a 20 and a 18. one guy i saw caught a 26 and another group caught a 24 on what i believe was their only flag. ended up with some frostbite due to wet gloves but ill only lose a little skin. i also stepped in someones hole when i was talking to a guy from another group and ended up with a wet foot and a pulled groin muscle.

Sounds like a decent trip.
 
I hear the ice is real sketchy out there this year   ... how much were you on,  i assume lots of snow & slush too ?
