I'll be going out scouting soon and someone/anyone can save me a lot of time Just wondering how far south in Cooks Bay do people fish for Whities? Not looking for exact spots (unless you are kind enough to provide them but general information such as minimum depth and general area you catch them in on consistent basis. I already know where to fish for them in deeper water south of IBP. Was wondering if people have targeted them in shallower water like 30-40-50 feet. Any information would be greatly appreciated! XF

3040 50 ft you're talking about roaches point, you can catch them a lot South then that however it's a crapshoot but they're still out there Lot of guys reporting catching whitefish of the huts shallow Waters but like I said it's sporadic

Was looking for somewhat consistant productive areas. I know that there are a lot of factors that come into play, but some areas like IBP, Willow Beach and KB are "hotspots". Long way from Glenwoods, so looking for grounds closer by. I'm sure some members had great success far more South LOL. XF

General area and depth. Haven't had a chance to go out yet, but hoping for tomorrow or Saturday. IBP looks to almost be ready, so I'm sure people will know the spots or see where everyone is fishing. Was hoping to find something closer to me... X

Its slick I'll be riding up there in a side by side with a lot of gear on it. 4-5 inches is great to walk on but I would rather wait for some thinker ice. BTW, thanks for all the IBP reports! X
