Hey guys, as Jimmy said it was a good trip. Many Hogs were caught...the trick seemed to be finding the deepest hole, for us it seemed to be around 16.5'. The bit was decent, the school moved around all day, it seemed to work best sitting on a hole and waiting on them to come back through about evey 10 min...I used several different combos but all in all they liked a little bigger presentation. Forge minnows and the Hali fry, in pink & orange worked the best for me. Here are some pics:

Jimmy that #5 is great for aggressive fish did real well with the glow/red bead and a glow nuggie the last couple of years

[salmonseeker2]

[ICE_ADDICT]

Nice Fish Kyle and Jim!!

I'd love to check that place out,4 and a half hour drive is definitly something to consider!!!

[CNYFrank]

Hey I really like those two SLABs you have on the grill!!! Great trip!

[CNY-Kyle]

If i were you i would plan a mid week trip to hit it (if possiable)...the lake is very small and im sure on the weekends has much more presure. Also keep in mind that deep basin isnt that big, about 50yrds around, so you could end up strugling for a spot as good as we had.

Absolutely not trying to deture you, just want you to have that heads up before you make a 4.5 hour drive...

Its good fishing however, and the fish are good size for sure!

[CNY Tim]

C should be ready Tuesday going by the forecast seems like alot of guys will be trying to get on Delta this weekend, watch the shoreline, water is up.... I'll report as I get em in...

[USMC130FE]

Hope I get some ice around my area, Diesel fuel is getting to expensive for a 2 hour drive.

Fished may dog today with my buddy Donnie We had to search for the fish today. The first few hrs were terrible we marked alot of fish first few holes (small perch). I think the pressure change had them screwed up.The temp was 5* when we started, after drilling about 10 holes we found some fish gills and callies for about 25 minutes a flurry of fish parked under us and it was over we probably caught 40 to 50 fish between the both of us.Not to bad of a day .

[HardWaterChef]

How did Donnie like his Marcum?

Sounds like a long day with a Fireworks Finale at the end!

Glad to see your day was productive

[CNY Lee]

Fished a close lake today, caught a mess of gills and crappies. The fish really didn't want to bite today, they would come up out of the weeds and look at the lure for the longest time. I finally figured out that if I kept fresh spikes (moving) on the hook and didn't move the lure at ALL they would inhale it just long enough for me to hook but a lot of them spit it out fast. I had to go to the smallest lure I've ever fished with #14 glow maramuska. I brought the latern with me and decided to stay stay a little after dark and ended up catching about 10 more crappies. My buddy is new to the sport and he only ended up catching 3 fish but he is going to go and buy a marcum tomorrow after I put a whooping on him. Here is some pics of just the fish we decided to keep.

Here's my ugly mug for a line-up. LOL

[USMC130FE]

Todd,

Glad you got into some fish!! It was a tough bite for us today also but we still managed to pull some out of the depths. Had a great time fishing with Kevin for sure.

Looks like the cold weather is coming so hopefully we will be able to put a sneak on some Waldo's and Mr Perch here real soon.

Tight Lines brother.

Way to go you all, way to rock the ice today and we did some rockin ourselves. Like Lee said we had some finicky fish today as well. But you keep working and drilling and you enjoy the company of good friends doing it.

Wanted to thank Doug as he spoiled us yet again with fresh stuffed pastrami sandwiches and cheese cake for desert.mmmm

We really started slinging the crappies as soon as it got dark. Ice was 3.5" to mostly 5" of ice in every hole other than a couple that were 3.5" good hard ice and we only picked up a 1/4" of snow and it was making ice when we left.

This looks like the beginning of the season gang and hopefully we won't have to worry about any more warm-ups. We needed the creepers today the ice was pretty slick. Here's some photos of our on ice adventure today with Kyle and Doug... Great fishing with you guys..

Nice green carp Kyle!

Way to go Doug!
