[quote Capt.Nereus]I would consider your one and only mantua ice fishing experience extremely slow.. I haven't fished it but judging by the reports, this year is kinda weird. It's not even that the tent city has hammered on all of the fish. It's that the fishing really hasn't been good. At first ice it seems like there are always people posting pics of their 50 fat gills mixed with other fish. and not just the experts. I have had several 100+ fish days on mantua and I deffinently have no clue what I am doing. I honestly think It will pick up in the next week or two. I hope it does the reports are fun to read. I've also missed seeing the pictures of hundreds of white bass spilling out of piled up jet sleds this year.[/quote]
We agree it sure wasn't like the fast and furious bluegill spawn or nothing. To us it seemed slow as well.
The argument is the whole concept of "if iced bodies of water are posted on the forum then the masses will hit it and the fishing will suck for the rest of the season".
The asian folk I saw at UL had TONS of white bass spilling out of their sleds.
