Hey all. I'm new to this forum. For my first post I thought I'd give a report of my fishing yesterday a Rockport.
The ice was a noisy but solid 8-10 inches. I didn't get out and setup until about 10:00. Started fishing on the west side, north of the boat launch. Spent a couple of hours there without a nibble.
Packed up and headed southwest a bit. After another 30-45 minutes with nothing I was getting a bit discouraged. Moved again and POW! Immediately caught a pretty good 16" bow (the one in the pic). He came home for dinner.
Over then next three hours I caught seven more and lost two at the hole. One was 18", the rest were smaller. All were caught with wax worms on Mt Nebo tube jigs or Ratfinkees. All but the first one were released.
No tags but definitely a good day.
