Hi all,just discovered this web site and I love it! On 12/19 a bud and I fished Chat. swim beach, about 100yds out. It was slow but we saw a bunch on our vex's. My bud got 1 fat 15" bow on a 1.5in white tube but most of them had lockjaw. I put my cam. down the hole next to my pink paddle bug and was admiring how it looked while jigging it when 3 nice bows rushed it and turned away at the last second. Talked to an old timer who said that we were not out far enough and we should go out another 100yd.s and use minnows. Hope this helps.

cool right on kast thx for the info and welcome to the forum!!how thick was the ice where you were at?

 

[kastmisser]

About 5" good quality ice with some snow on top that should help it survive these sunny days this week.

Friday at Chatfield sounds good to me too! Can't make it at 6:00 but will try to get out there as soon as I can. The lake has been pretty stingy (sp?) with it's 'eyes this year. Haven't heard of many being caught...yet! It may get better as the shad thin out. The pits in the "no wake" zone (south end) are the most consistent producers for eyes using spoons or swimming lures at twilight periods. Set up on the edge of the pits and drill plenty of holes to intercept fish as they come onto/off the shallow flats. Keep moving until you hook a fish and then fish holes close by before the frenzy is over. Hope to see you Friday! Looney.
