Broke away from house arrest after 2mo. Missed out on the first ice off fishing this year. Now it's making up for lost time. Always liked E Canyon early as it's a way to knock off the cobwebs. First line in at 7:45 and as I'm setting 2nd line into the downrigger I felt a good yank on the line and could see a tail dance in the distance, fish on. It was kind of a weird day catching, for the first 40min strikes would be hit & miss. Then the bite slacked off for about an hour plus. Finally found a good combo after changing up lures. Now it was fast & furious catching with many self releases. Got off the water about 12:30 as wind started.

Thanks for the report Roger, sounds like you had a decent day after you got them figured out. How deep were you fishing for your best success? Any luck with your apex lures?
