It's been a little while since I've been out, but with the weather we planned to at least check things out Saturday. We hit the striper club meeting Friday night and listened to Dan Wilson and Karl Martin talk and they fed us unlimited hot dogs, chips, carrot cake, etc - delicious - definitely check out the club if you haven't - Mward is now the president and there are good things happening, but they need your support! We got out around 11am Saturday morning. Bait was pretty much where we thought it would be -20-30ft deep. We caught 56 shad and put them in the shed tank. Took out 10-12 cured shad and went fishing for a couple hours with some huge shad free lined. Got a few to the boat, but overall I'd say it's still a little slow where we fished. At one spot, I marked about 10-12 fish around us in 8ft of water on the sidescan, but they just looked at the baits - wouldn't eat. I think if you timed them just right, they'd light you up, but the feed bags weren't on for us. Water was 40-42. E cleaned up on the door prizes at the meeting..    This is only way I know to ice fish..     Lunch was delicious - Mangos special  |

I fully intended to join you all Friday night. But, I was just getting over the flu and was not completely symptom free so I chose to keep it to myself and stay home.
Nice report!
