strawberry report for monday - jr8fish - 01-17-2004
[
][size 1] strawberry ice fishing trip monday. i read many reports previously that said that the berry wasnt so hot so i didnt expect much on that trip. my buddy and i started fishing at about 8:30 am. i started at 11 ft and quickly landed 2 20 inch cuts and one 14 inch rainbow. my partner had a couple bites but didnt land any thing. fishing slowed in the shallow water so i moved out to about 18 feet. i also decide to change jigs from a foxee to a paddle bug. i again caught three nice cuts right of the bat. my buddy landed a nice cut also. fishing turned on from 10 to 11 am. i landed 3 more in that time period and had several others on that spit the hook. my buddy didnt have near the success and we were both using the same thing. i guess i had the jigging action down that they wanted. fishing slowed down a lot after 11am. after 11 o clock we moved into 26 ft of water. i landed a couple more there but it was slow. we stayed until 3 pm. fish totals i caught 12 my buddy landed 1. he missed a lot of chance cause he was sleeping. he couldnt see the bite through is strike indicator. iwas using the bobber trick and saw every thing. we tipped everything with a meal worm. i had 4 bits throughout the day that i missed. the bite was really light. i used the bobber technique where as my friend didnt. that could have been the reason i out fished him 12 to 1. good luck this weekend to all the ice fisherman.
