I'm in the same situation you are. I did manage to chop a hole through the ice in a narrow channel and hung a baited 330 there, but can't get to the lodge or feed pile because the ice is to thin. Temps are supposed to rise later this week. Went up stream about 1/2 a mile and found a little open water with some peeled sticks there so I made a few castor sets with 750's. I'll keep my eye on this post.
