Saturday at Strawberry, main marina entry point...now I remember why I don't like fishing Strawberry on Saturdays...on ice or open water..5 adults, 1 young son..we DID go farther out from the ramp than I'd normally go, in 69 FOW..very cold, like MWScott said, so we had to put up tents..2 comfortably in my tent, 4 in the large tent..buddy in my tent had the first hit after about 5 mins, nice keeper 14.5 cutt..so he was happy, never been on ice before..couple tiny taps and misses for me on the bottom, but overall slow, 'til about 1030, when it got even slower..we were far from the crowds nearer the ramp and shoreline, but apparently we were the target for the snowmobilers starting about 1030...so that probably led to our demise..about 1000 I had a solid hit up high, 10', and slowly pulled up my only catch, 19" releaser cutt, small cut shrimp pc on tube jig..one 17" rainbow caught in the other tent, so really slow for them also...good bunch of guys, so we still made it a good outing..even for a Saturday..how I wish I could still be at Rockport...Guluk..
