Well after the last boat trip in late October and catching over 200 between three people, my dad and I were itching to get back there. Found time to do that this past Saturday, 11/26. 4 of us went up and arrived around 745ish. We were kind of surprised by the amount of people that were there. We knew there would be a lot, but at one point I turned to my dad and said, "I didn't realize we went to Fish Lake." I have never seen so many people on Scofield before.
After seeing the amount of tents and people, we headed to where we fished in the boat away from most of the tents and set up. Unfortunately the fishing wasn't as good as it was from the boat in October. We fished until 12:15 and between the 4 of us we managed 180, give or take a few. We each lost count a couple of times. It was close to that though. White tubes tipped with minnow worked best. My dad tried worms for a bit and caught a couple, but the bite wasn't near as good as it was with the minnow. We fished from 15' to about 10-12' of water and caught them from the bottom to just under the ice. Biggest was 19.5. I lost one two feet under the hole that I think may have been close to breaking the slot. It was a nice fish. Most were cuts with maybe ten bows and around that in tigers as well. Beautiful day up there and it was great to be out on the ice again.
Goo fishing and tight lines all!
