It's too bad that it didn't turn out better for the fisherman. Did you come over to the plunge after to see the craziness? That was kinda fun.
My two girls and my son and I managed to dip about 40 between the four of us, but we went off waaay away from the crowd to find them in close enough for the girls to get them. It paid off too because my oldest girl won the first place biggest fish and my younger daughter won the second place fish in the kid category. My son won the second place fish in the adult catagory and I sucked with just a wuss fish! Still, the prizes that my kids brought home totaled 150.00 in gift cards to sportsmans warehouse and a 60.00 two way radio set...$210.00 total between them all. They were thrilled to say the least.
Yesterday the Cisco were in really good and most were dipping limits, but I really think that the army of fisherman spooked them. It always seems to be the case during no ice years. I have no doubt that they will be back in tomorrow thick.
But I agree with you, it was pretty much a bust for most and that is just too bad. I hope everyone found a way to find some fun in it anyway and I hope they come back within a week and get into them better.
Oh, and I lost in the chili cook off so my kids are gloating their win and reveling in my loss[
