Will anyone else be fishing at Mantua this Friday? I will be on my pontoon? Any tips for up there? I will be jigging on the bottom for anything that will bite.
My toon is camo with a motor. Say hi if you see me up there.

[cool]My only tip would be to first try to find the fish. By the report outta there last Saturday, that sounds like it might be your biggest challenge. Once you find the fish then I'd recommend fishing how you were in the summer/early fall just jigging with a piece of mealie/crawler etc. on the tiny jig for sweetener. Good luck, Dale and don't forget to let us know how it went!

[cool][#0000ff]Launch at the ramp and head toward the NE corner with your sonar on. Look for the deepest holes and maybe a spring or two that holds concentrations of fish near the bottom. Then fish them like you were ice fishing...vertical, small and with bait.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I was up there last Saturday and got snowed and blowed off the lake before I could get too far. I found only a few suspended fish, and they were neutral or inactive. I did catch a few small bass in 8-10 feet on a black jig with crawler.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]On Friday you should find reasonably good conditions. Good luck.[/#0000ff]
