Now now - before ya'll start getting trigger happy, NO they WON'T give you 10 bux for these ears!
RE: the Map; It's one that TubeDude didn't seem to have one for, so I took a stab at it. Need to clean it up - MS Paint is NOT a quality graphics app!!! (some of the text seems to pixel out when you save a JPG)
Plus I've learned a few more of the "names" of spots, plus learning 'da ice.
Got a bye to head out yesterday afternoon - but didn't hit it until about 4:30 - a bit late. Like three groups right at the inlet fishing just off the open water. I parked out in the middle about 30 ft, but didn't find my perchies. One nibble, so I moved closer to the cliffs. Only about 10 ft of water, bites right away. Landed a couple quick perchlets, then a trout tug. Yup - a bit faster action!
Then I managed to break off another half dozen troutsies! Think I was trying to horse them up the hole too much, caught my castmaster on the edge one time!
Thicker ice = deeper hole. Gotta get the head turned!!
About 6pm as it got to dark - everyone else booked out. Shoulda taken the hint. Bites dropped off to nuthin - so I bailed at 7. Maybe shoulda gone for Newton where the night bite might pick up, not drop off (oh the Crapppie!).
Ah well - good to get out and get some tugs, try some new jigs (donate a few to the lake gods! Need to go back and CATCH those suckers - get my jigs back!).
Sounds like Saturday morn's the love fest eh? I was thinnin' on trying Pineview. But maybe I'll come join ya'll, save that venture for Sunday.
I'm trying to work out a half day Friday adventure. THAT may become my evening at Newton. Anyone wanna go? (and do I need a plank?!)
