Nailer Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 It's been 15+ years since we went to the bay, so a few friends and I decided to try the end of season bite. We hit the bay first thing Friday morning. Air temp of 1 deg. with no wind. Set up 2 miles out, nothing, moved, nothing, moved again, nothing, moved yet again, nothing. Fished the afternoon bite (NOT) in deeper water 4 miles out with wind gust at 30+ mph, again NOTHING. Repeated the same process Saturday, this time added some beer to the mix (that really made the nothing better). Talked ourselves into fishing the shallow/dirty water Sunday morning. This worked a bit better for us. We where fishing in 50" of water with 27" of ice on it. Dale ended with 2, both in the 19" range. Young Robby got a nice one in the 20" range. I got one in the 20" range. The slammer got one that was around 10" (when this thing triped, it pullet the fish right out of the hole). This shot from where we fished Saturday shows the Ice breaker going up the Saint Marys River. It was great to get back up there an see some old friends, and gig a few Eyes through the ice. Ken.
Paulywood Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Good job Ken. Looks like fun. That is one heck of a rod on that slammer, mines about 2 ft. shorter. (No jokes guys!)
salmonquest Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I've only been there once. but didn't do very well. It's such a large body of water I think it takes awhile to figure the hot spots. Nice work on the eyes...I wonder if you could run some riggers behind that breaker??
