I.C.E. contest

[PYROPAL]

i was up there and had a great time...we did not participate in the tourney as it would have cut into the fishing time too much. we ended up keeping 11 fish, mostly 14 inchers. tossed back 2 pout. one,long and thin, maybe 3 lbs the other a little chubby one about 15 inches long. we went out of schusters resort and rented a house from them. we were in 28 feet of water,caught 21 fish total...missed 4 i think...lossed none. 2 on green with a pink dot, 2 on "green-n-glow"which is the same as the pink dot jobby...but has a green dot, one on gold and agreen glow rubber grub..2 on a blue frosty.my buddy got his on a red frosty,and the green a green dot. i do not know which other lures he mayhave had sucess on...sorry mostly it was dead sticking with a swoop once in a while to help them notice it. the one i caught on the gold jig...was as if it was on the jig the whole time. i went to give it a jig....and it seem i was snagged so either it hit the intant i touched the jig, orit was on for a while and i never knew it was there. (the key board on this comp is acting oddly today) the bobber never moved. hmmm...mostly they hit whenyoudid something else. if you went out the bobber went down...dig throgh your gear..the bobber went down. i think aggressive jigging would help bring them into the area...then they would find the minnows hanging down there and eventually pick one. most of our fish were near bottom and most were saugers. wegot 2 about 8 ft. up i do not recall if they were wallys or not. we also had onebig blip on the ol' sonar...5 red bars! never found out what it was. info that i picked up on this forum helped...change colors every15 min. if no luck on it,also that gold was a good color. another thing don't unpack completely when you first get there...it may be a dead sea and you might want to go to another spot when the bomber pilot comes to check on you. we had some fish on the flasher almost all the time so we decided ourspot was ok. hope all who did go in for the contest had a great time.......later, pyro

Thanks for the posting. It sounds like a pretty good time. I hope we have some luck. How were the people to deal with?

hey bobber! keep your stuff to a minimum...they really fill the bomber. also...we got there at 6:35 the bombers left at 6:30...so when he says be there by 6:30...he means it! the next round out was about an hour later. they stick to what they say there. i liked them.
