Frozenover and I hit Strawberry this morning. We were on the lake by 7:00 am. My thermometer showed zero.
The bite was very slow. I only caught two all day. Frozenover caught 12. The bite was very light, not very many fish coming through on the finder. We would watch the fish come up to the jig and then turn and swim away. Very frustrating.
We tried everything we had.
The snow on the lake is very deep. I called the marina yesterday to see if 4 wheelers were making it out on the snow. He told, "Oh no problem."
We started to head out to Renegade, before we made it to Haw's Point, I got stuck in the snow. We used the winch to pull my bike out. We decided to head back closer to the marina. We ended at the flong point NE of the marina. The wind and blowing snow were very cold, the ice huts were a very welcome addition to the trip.
We both have hand augers, we were drilling almost to the handles to get through the ice. So, we didn't move around very much.
By far my worst trip to Strawberry this year.
