Another interesting tidbit of information: All three of us were fishing from our shacks on Saturday afternoon due to the sharp and cold wind that we were experiencing at Strawberry. While I had been watching lots of fish in the morning...that wouldn't bite...even the fish disappeared from under my shack the whole afternoon. And it wasn't that they weren't showing on the sonar...I had a fish camera positioned on the bottom looking directly at my lures...the fish simply weren't there. Yet less than 15 yards away, Kent and Shawn were experiencing schools and schools of fish under them all afternoon. They must have been chumming with something different than I was chumming with. (Just kidding of course...!) They both ended up with around 20 each for the day...while I barely managed 5 fish (with one other lost when I accidentally got my line to close to the heater getting it in). Doesn't happen very often, and when it does I'm reminded that some days there is always that one guy that just doesn't catch fish...and Saturday that guy was ME. Was still a great day out on the ice. I did catch my first Rainbow of the year at about 21 inches or so!
While coming off the ice, we saw a 4 wheeler nice and stuck right on the boat ramp. We were grateful that we didn't have to dig out a 4 wheeler or snowmobile that day!

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
