Mantua Fishing Report

[Cowboypirate]

The cowboy-pirate crew invaded Mantua this afternoon to check ice conditions and see if any water creatures wanted to play. Crawdads were starting to roam - always a good sign. Ice is nearly off. The remaining sheet(s) is/are floating with the wind - boaters beware. We were able to get Buckwheat's wheelchair to the water using the boat ramp and a little muscle through the sand. We watched a family fill up a full stringer of ice off rainbows - so we joined in the fun, Tried shinny steel and plastic - nothing. Switched over to worm and jigs - nothing. Finally had to break out the powerbait. Action was steady but not fast. Still a fun afternoon. Also took a peek at Hyrum. Did not catch anything. Other anglers reported it as slow as did the local fish cop (who was very nice)

Shot a short video of the action, if you are bored, you can find it at this youtube link (dont worry we dont sell anything - pirates dont need to sell stuff)
