well yesterday was the first time in the last 2 weeks we have been fishing there that we noticed the ice melting… before that i think the lake level had come up so the ice moved off shoure.. then when that last storm came through it re-iced only 1/2 thick but thats enuf to keep ya from fishing.. inless you good with rock’s! lol
but yesterday we could tell the ice was melting fast! so if your asking me if the berry might be de-iceing soon i would have to yeah soon with the temp’s we have been getting!..
Great job, Ron!
Were you double poling it? Your picture from a few days ago looks like the rod is bending toward shore! Maybe I’ll have to copy that technique to get your type of results![crazy]
oh yeah the towards shore technique.. well we do that so when the fish bite’s we just wait tell it turns the pole and starts draging it out in the water before we set the hook! ..
sounds funny but the way they are hitting there right now you got to keep a eye on the pole all the time or ya just might lose one real fast.. they are grabing and running with it as soon as they pick it up.. exciting fishing!![sly]
2 broken knuckls on the left thumb.. 60 mph into the rear dullie’s of a big rig truck traler.. ouch.. I was lucky to walk away![:)] my co-worker was not as lucky brock his hip in alot of places.. [unsure]
I have never know Strawberry to ice off before Scofield. Scofield is higher elevation but much smaller and shallower. In my experience Scofield ice’s up before Strawberry and has ice off before Strawberry. Strawberry is still a couple weeks away from being ready to run the boat on full out without fear of floating ice.
Looks like a great day. I have a couple days off from work and school and was going to head up there on Saturday and Tuesday. I usually soak a worm and powerbait or minnows up there. I have never been up there this time of year, is that a good set-up?
