As of this past sunday, there was 5-6 inches all around. Pretty sure it will hold up for this sunday. Fishing was slow for the first leg of the contest. 3.74 lb pickerel is in the lead for the grand prize, $500 STRIKEMASTER POWER AUGER!!!!!!!!!

Mikey got in touch with me to fish your lake Sunday. I was all in as of Saturday morning. By Saturday night, I was out unfortunately. Woke up with the DAM FLU around 3 am Sunday morning. It only lasted 24 hours but it was the worst 24 hours I've had in years. Anyway looks like you fellas had a great time and caught some nice fish. I havnt been out in 3 weeks. If I don't fish soon I'm going to REHAB!!! TIGHT LINES!!!

Walleye very hard to come by threw the ice at Swartswood. I think 1 eye has been weighed in over the last 5 years. Very strange.
