Strawberry and a pretty nice one.

Postby Nor-tah » Feb 07, '09, 5:58

Had the pleasure of fishing with Deadicated1 up at Strawberry this morning. Took the wheeler and cruised over to Haws. Bite was decent, kinda turned on and off till we left at 12:00.
Sun went in and out of the clouds so some of the pics turnned out better than others. The view from Haws.

Ice was around a foot thick with zero slush. Fished between 15-30 feet of water and caught them on various jigs tipped with chub minnows. We ended up with around fifteen fish to hand and lost a few as we were fighting them to the surface. Deadicated1 caught this Cutt.

The picture doesnt show too well but the belly was almost florescent orange and had little spots. Never seen one like that.

All the fish fought surprisingly well today but around 930 I hooked one that did not want to come up. It made a few little runs before we finally got its head pointed up and D1 scooped him up! A nice slot buster at just under 24 inches.

Back to be caught another day. A big thanks to Deadicated1 for some good company and help drilling 6 or so holes with the manual auger. And to americanforkdude for some tips on where to go.

Nor-tah--Words cannot describe how jealous I am. That's an awesome fish dude. Nice job.

nice report brotha!! next time we may need someone with not 2 shoulder surgeries in the last 4 years to help you punch through the ice!! or maybe a power auger :wink:

Good trip! Nice job finding the slot buster.

Looks like the Berry is retaining its ice pretty well.
