Ha I weight about 230 and I have a power auger. I usually don’t fish with a shack unless I’m bringing a family member or friend. I’ve never ice fished Chester, I’m sure it’s a hot bite. They have pig panfish there. There was a Facebook post that there was 4 inches of solid ice at Silver Creek Reservoir.
If anyone wants, we can always meet up around Rochester area. Otherwise there’s a lake I love to fish near Owatonna.
Tight lines guys!
