THE Au S able bit the big one today , i first went to the dam , 40+ guys there one fish hooked in three hours .
i then went to the pierhead . the weather man said temps in the low 50's , i think he ment 50 below . the winds were n. n.e. at 15-25 mph. off the lake , the water was choppy , and the thing was coverd in ice still . beleve me , i went dressed like charley brown in the winter , covered in layers upon layers and that wind cut right thru ! i hooked a small male ( brown ) around 5lbs. and released him . tried the product testers hooks out on a tight line . i wasn't impressed with the outcome . way to large for our fish .
well about 2pm i started my way back up river hitting every hole i could find , zip , zero , nadda . the water was clowdey and full of small debris . i stopped above the dam and talked to some guys out there ice fishing , still 1-3 feet of ice on the pond . man this spring is screwed up !
