Road Trip with Ice

[SkunkedAgain]

Ya know I thought the same thing, so I moved off to myself along the weed edge and thought I'd really nail them... Instead I didn't catch a fish Friday afternoon... So Saturday I moved out to the south end of the crew and sure enough the fish were there and I caught fish and so did all of the other tents... Doesn't fit my thoughts of where I should fish, but somehow when it works I have to go with it... Friday early we hit a hot spot we found last year in the middle north part of the lake and it was on fire to start, but shut down fast and that was like four of us that went out there, so we weren't terribly noisy but seemed like the fish would come through in schools and when they were there, it was good and then they would pass through and if others didn't come through you were done... not a lot of local fish that just hung around, these fish are roamers that you hope to cross paths with... When the fish were there, they seemed to bite easy, which was nice... I guess we did have some time that they shutdown and we couldn't get them to bite for anything, but most of the time if you seen fish on the graph you usually got at least a hit and run out of them... Different to only have 6' of line out when you hook a big fish, you have to fight them a lot different and most come out of the hole with a ton of energy still flopping around... I about lost my fish finder down the hole as one came up and wrapped around the transducer and tried to knock the unit of the stand and into the hole... I moved pretty quick to prevent that from happening... Anyway sure fun to get back on the ice... later Jeff
