My friend and I stayed at his cabin in Cripple Creek last night. We got up and were on the ice by sunrise. It was my friend, his dad, his dad's friend, and me fishing. I was too sleepy to remember where we went, but I think we parked at a boat ramp other than the main one by the marina store. There were a ton of people there...I guess there was a tourney today? Anyway, we walked forever and settled down along with a whole ton of poeple by some island, apparently on top of a channel. The salmon came through, and the old guys pulled 5 out in an hour. They had a Vex, and said the fish were coming through at around 40 feet, and we were in about 80 FOW. They got the fish on orange Swedish Pimples tipped with mealies. My friend and I were using the same stuff at approximately the same depth, and only got a couple bites, which we missed.
I am skunked 3 out of my last 4 trips...I need to please the fish gods somehow.
The wind didn't start blowing till 9:30 or so. The ice is about 20 inches or so, at least where we were, and there was no snow cover, making cleats an absolute must have.
Pretty day, I'm going to Georgetown Tuesday to kill my skunk.
Peace.
