Strawberry 3/15

[N.E.T.O.]

We fished Strawberry on Saturday also. We were at the Ladders, in 32 feet of water, and it was slower than it has been in a long time for us. We got a late start and the fishing got slower as the morning went on instead of picking up as it has been doing. We ended up catching 20 fish total, between the 3 of us. None over the slot and no Rainbows. Glad we had the ice shack as it was toasty warm in there all day. It was frustrating because first of all, the fish numbers were not there like they usually are, and secondly, when fish did come around (as seen on the fishfinder and/or fish camera), they wouldn't give our lures the time of day. We usually just got the big snub. Was an extremely frustrating day for us, and I think our ice fishing is over for the year. In fact, instead of putting all my ice fishing gear in the house garage, I put it all out in the back garage where it is stored for the summer.
My first boat trip is 3 weeks out at Lake Powell and we are now 100% gearing up towards that trip. We bought a new boat this year so we have a lot of unwinterizing and familiarizing to do between now and then.
