Strawberry - 03/13/05 - midge - 03-14-2005
First trip to the Berry this year and it wasn't disappointing, unlike my previously ice fishing trips this year, minus R-port . I fished from 8 am till 4 pm today. I landed around twenty cutts and missed and/or long released about that many as well. All slot cutts with the smallest being 17" and the largest just under 22". I fished between 24' - 31' with the best success occurring in 30' of water. I used the same setup the entire day: 1/8oz chartuese jig with white paddlebug sweetened with a waxie and a drop of smelly jelly. The weather was nice until about 4 pm and suddenly the wind picked up. I just wish I didn't waste the last couple of weekends at Causey - shame on me!

Fishcrazy,
I fished Chicken Creek East and there was no slush, just hard packed snow. Good luck, if you head out!

Thaks for the report midge. I am probably heading up there next Saturday, so I am glad the fish are still biting. I have had some great days at Chicken Creek but was debating on the ladders. We'll see what happens

How thick was the ice? Just curious if this warmer weather is forcing ice off a little earlier this year.

Vanilla,
I would guess that its around 20" + or so. Put it this way, I didn't want to have to drill through it (I only have a hand auger), so I found other holes which iced over and chiseled them open. I watched one gentleman have to go down to his knees to complete drilling the hole since it was so thick. Good luck if you decide to go!
