We had Soldier Creek to ourselves Sunday, till 10 or 11, what's a little snow on the boat when your catching.
Hit the Soldier Creek Side of Strawberry early, 7 am ish, had two doubles on Kokes right out of the shoot, on the far east side toward dam. Almost a triple. Then all shut down at 9 ish. RMT flashers pink and green 4 inchers.
Pink squid, and orange mini bladed squid tipped with a green power bait maggot. Down in 25 to 30 foot, or out 70-90 feet lead core, at 1 mph. Down rigger set at 27, minus set back, I say 25 ish.
The largest was 20 inch with a 13 inch girth, google says that should be 3.5 to 4 pounds. Not sure.
Question, why did they shut down at 9, or did they move and I know I should have been there at first light?
Tried other favorite areas, didn't work either. Small storms with light snow and off and on sunlight all factors.
