what a beautiful day ... sunny all day. the wind was off & on .. was very cold early
fished about 7am-2pm. Caught many rainbows early 15-20 fow (usual size stockers 10-15")
Went lookin for macks, Found some about 10:30-11, in 55-60 fow - screen was loaded with fish ... as we were looking for the lakers across the lake from our site, noticed the wind blew the Ice Cube away ... ooops, didnt use anchors because there was little or no wind when we set it up
iced 2 macks & lost about 3 or 4, I lost a nice sized one too... ouch .... i was using chartreuse swedish pimple with sucker meat. After we finally moved over to the deeper area, we had way less marks on the screen ... did the snowmobiles or auger make them run? Im guessing those fish are very mobile & cruise the bottom all day, alot of schools went by too. the big one was hooked bouncing the bottom
then at noon everything went quiet as usual. Hooked one more right before we left about 1:30pm, but spit the hook at the hole ... oh well.
We finally found a good spot for macks. Cant wait to hit them again, they are very colorful up there
I only took pics of the macks .. didnt have time to grab camera with the bow frenzy going on :-X
