Rod and Line: 28 to 30 inch Med action rod, spooled with 8 to 12 lbs is fine, what I run normal.

I think the blades were dull. I used OCD'S auger and it cut through much easier.

it varies every year in different spots, but seriously i wouldn't drive out, lots of white ice and who knows what could happen, parking is free and easy access, don't wanna be the first one to go through there. Im actually pretty sure the reason it opens so late is actually because of the unsafe ice but who knows.

Not quite sure where you get your info bowslayer, but most years its ok to drive on lake joe. The first  few years when I started fishing joe around 2002 or so there were plowed roads on the lake and I was able to even take my car out. With that being said who knows what the ice is like this year with all the snow up there.
