Muddy run

Was there on 2 different days recently got 13&12inch perch couple small crappie. Anybody ice fish here? I bet it's awesome my fish finder was reading 35ft of water casting distance from shore. Fish were always 4-5ft of the bottom. Hard to put minnows in front of fish face from shore. The closest I marked fish was 22ft of water and fish were 18ft down.

sounds like the perfect area to try a slip float....

Yea just hard setting stopper at 20ft and still be able to cast without line catching on stopper.

I use something similar to these www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-bobber-stops have to pull the ends tight(sometimes they loosen and slide up or down the line. Not too many issues with the knot catching after trimming the ends. Depending on what "brand" I buy I might use a bigger bead sometimes the line doesn't slide through some of the smaller beads too well. You also need to add weight to get down quicker. It does take some tweaking to set-up right. I fish this rig at Ontelaunee along "73" quite often - the creek channel is right off shore down about 30' so it is similar to your spot.
