I fished the cong today. The top layer is all ice not snow anymore. Easy puling the sled. Problem is keeping holes clean because the snow pack in between everything slushes into the water constantly. Also drilled a couple holes where i couldnt get my jig down and there was a solid sheet of detached floating ice underneath. Didnt bring my spud so i couldnt smash it. Could drill through because it just pushed down then floated back up. Moving it around with the scooper never cleared the hole and when i moved over 3 feet it was still there blocking open water. Super weird. Almost like the 1st layer of ice in this spot seperated and is just free floating underneath everything.
