sterling still nothing


Recommended Posts

Went to Sterling last two fridays. Had one bad day and one good. First trip did not get any fish at all, but had seen a couple nice stringers of wiper leaving without me. This friday me and a couple kids caught 15 wiper all averaging at least 20 inches, 2 saugeye, 1 crappie, 4 catfish, 1 trout and more than enough carp and drum we wanted to catch.

fishalot sounds like you did good 2nd trip
I talked to warden yesterday said you can catch wiper if you know what your doing,jigs and reel them slow he said most people reel in too fast, him and his buddy fished about an hour and caught 13 wiper he said.

Are you guys talking about North Sterling Reservoir? Up near the inlet or elsewhere on the lake? I was there 10 days ago and got blown off. Winds were a steady 20-25 mph and water temp was about 44 then. We didn't touch a fish that morning.

Planning on going to Sterling on Friday, April 9th. Anyone have any new reports? Are the wiper running yet? Any eyes hitting? Never fished it, but plan on going there alot the next few months.

Man, did we hit some weather on Friday! 38 degrees, rain/snow, gusty wind, but it was still fun getting the boat out. Caught 1 fish, 14inches, I think it was a sauger. Couple of other hits but nothing much. A typical spring Colorado day!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
