It was quite slow for everyone. Friday we did good limiting on kokes and 9 perch. Saturday, not one koke, but ended up with 12 pretty decent perch. Most people around us landed very few kokes. Seemed the people farther out in deeper water and away from people were the only ones that got into any kokes, but even those were catching very few. We did not see one group come through on the fish finder. I fished from around 10-5.
I don't imagine the guys on the 4 wheeler doing 40mph back and forth across the res helped much. The drunk guys on the 4 wheeler, all 6 of them, 4 on the 4 wheeler and 2 on the sleds, that dumped their sled all over the ice was quite entertaining tho.
I think I am done going up there on Saturday. The last few weeks I have noticed Friday's are ok for fish and people, but Saturday's are getting to be a nightmare with the people and no fish. F&G need to open up some more ice so people can spread out. Closing it down to the one mile mark just because of a few people is wrong in my opinion. Punish the people who broke the law, not everyone. There is a F&G officer that lives right there above the reservoir who can watch things. There were around 20 sleds at the end of the road Saturday. Kind of hard to believe that closing the ice would stop people from riding across the fields to get to the elk. I guess that is the way things work now days. Same thing because of 9-11. Close all the dams and fishing areas around the dams because of a few terrorists.
PS: Kentd71, I think you were the one with the 6x12 Cabela's shack setup just off the dock with a couple of small children? We were out a little farther with the red Eskimo and the Black Rubi. I guess I should walk my lazy butt over and say hi more often.
I also seen the 6x12 Command Post set up towards the private dock. I am sure that was someone on here also.
