PerchPounder Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I was in a rabbit tournament today so I didn't make it to the lakes. The only reports I've heard from the area a pretty slow at best. Few gills and crappies biting in Miller's, Little Emerson's, and Smith's. Any action up on Spirit? I was there last weekend and found a few eaters but nothing much to brag about. Any good reports from today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 You pretty much summed up the day on the IGL's But like any dedicated ice head I'll be back at it on Spirit tomarrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerchPounder Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Angler's? thats probably where ill start around 8ish is the plan so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondarider550 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 We started on Smith's bay then moved to the mouth of Little Emerson. We did not get to the lakes until about 2:30 so we really did not get a good day in. We are still loaded up and ready to go for tomorrow so hopefully we will be starting early and on time in the morning. Do you plan on starting at Angler's bay at 8 Perchpounder??? Maybe we can catch up with you and compare notes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerchPounder Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Angler's at 8 Is the gameplan so far. Hopefully something will cooperate. 2000 Silverado with the HSO.com sticker on the back window pretty easy to spot in a crowd.The Landing was a little rough and blown shut last weekend has it improved at all?

hondarider550 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hey muc33... You can never have enough trailer for the quad!!! Yesterday I started putting my own shack on the trailer too. Just thought that it would be handy to have if we decided to do some scouting and not want to move mopar's shack right away. Just another quad and a few more items and we should have the trailer full... Hope to see you sometime soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't out of the 3 shacvks we had, we totaled about 10 total for the 3 and 3 of those northerns 2 being silvers. Least I caught a few fish to keep my no skunk streak alive.

Mr.Seaguar Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I took fish into Shucks 2/24 at 4pm and the guy said that was the first bunch of fish anyone had brought in all day. We had 19, all blugills cept one perch. We saw 00s of fish finally, its been hard for me to see many fish all winter since the first couple weeks.

Esox_Magnum Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I left Trickles at 3ish they had them then and said they had slowed. I do know orange teardrops with the little flippers was their lure of choice, not sure on bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondarider550 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hey muc33... It will be great seeing you guys out there again next week. I know that Saturday will not work out for me but look out Sunday here we come... We are going to call for a full fledged war against the fish this time... Run and Gun... Hit em hard with everything!!! LOL Okay maybe we are at least gonna try... I am without my aqua vu this past weekend and it really stunk.

muc33 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I am in the same boat, or should I say the same portable... my marcum flasher wasn't working quite right so I sent it in last week, waiting for it's return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondarider550 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Yea, I remember a time when I first started out without any electronics and special equipment and I used to catch fish... and now here we are with the camera and flasher knowing that the fish are down there and not catching a thing... And let alone the fact that we no longer know how to function with out those electronics... How do times change us so much!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaver11 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 thanks for the report..gonna hopefully give it try this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I have all the fancy eletronic toys but honestly in the lakes here with the gin clear water how often do you really use them during the day?? I have my camera along for scouting but once I'm set up I haven't dropped it in to fish with since December. My Marcum stayed home all weekend to, not much need for it in a shack in even 18' of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muc33 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 But if you are not in a shack and hole hopping, it makes a world of difference. And I usually have someone with me so I have my 2 man portable, which if I am alone is too big to really run and gun holes at 5 minutes at a crack. So in the house, yes, I sight fish, but hole hopping, I get out the colors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondarider550 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 There is definitly a time and a place for each of the electronic equipment pieces. I usually like to have the camera down to watch if my jigging movements or certain actions have something to do with catching fish. Also sometimes a fish will bite ever so lightly so you can usually catch more fish if you watch, wait, and set just by watching your camera. I really like doing that. Also its just like watching tv while fishing... A little entertainment while fishing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 We dont hole hop we may move 1 or 2 times a day thats about it. We have are tried and true spots to start with and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
