well i have returned from the great slushy E-lake.. wow nice day up there.. only thing was the deep snow.. but me and a guy named steve have plowed a good tail down.. mostly me !! i got there around 10:00 and started the long trudged down to the ice.. first the snowbanks to start out with.. after that not to bad going over the dam.. then came the downward plow.. man every year i say i'm not going to be the one to make the tail again this year!! and there you have it.i'm makeing the tail again will the trip down the hill was addventfall to say the lest.got about 1/2 way down and did the worst thing a man can do on a snow coverd rock!! one leg on one side and the other leg on the other side and not a thing for my feet to stand on ouch i hate it when that happens!!!you might think ok thats the worst thing that could happen right? well finley got down to the ice started out bracking through top crust of slush 5 feet out and gave my self a hart attack.. well decided the ice must be safe if i can come down that hard on it and not go through.. lol ..nice way to start the day huh? .ok walked out to my spot and drilled a hole got my new sweet vexilar fish finder out droped it in the hole turnd it on flash but no bottom so adjusted gain still not'a ..pulled it up to look at the tranducer and found the problem.. one of my boys new cute puppys has chewed the cable up and now it dont work!!! i'm thinking ok there going to be some dead dogs when i get home.. good thing i had time to cool off before i got home!! puppys are fine.. ok after getting the second kick in the croch in little under 20min's i'm thinking the fishing better be good!!
well at lest one thing went well.. the fishing was well what can i say it was E-lake the fishing was great!! started out slow at the first spot i stoped on so moved in closer to the shoure and started fishing..got some bumps on whatta crickets tiped with crawler and minnows but no hook ups.. so went to a plane 1/4oz glow jig and put a minnow on it's side on the hook and hook the first fish about 11:00 some time.. after that it was a fish evey 10 to 20 min's.. around 1:30 i seen anothe crazy person comeing out the dam.. well he got down did not say much but hook a fish soon after starting to fish.. so i asked him what he was useing.. he came over and shot the bull for a min or to.. said he was useing a white tube tipped with worms.. but he was wishing he had brought his minnows..
well dont know how many fish i cough today but i did use a bag of minnows..
well thats E-lake for you..got to take the good with the bad and have a good day on the ice..
