Crown point 1/23
« on: Jan 23, 2018, 03:20 PM »
So today I decided to chase lakers and whites in addison. After arriving at 8am I looked at the yet again openshoreline by the boat ramp.  It was raining moderately but I walked over to the rocks and walked on cautiously.

Spudding as I walked out into 46fow.  I set up and dropped my lines in.  White tube for lakers and a small jigging rap for perch.  I immediately marked fish and knew they were whites suspended at 25 feet.  But no takers on anything. I also had two chasers on the tube but again nothing.

Confused I dropped the camera in and low and behold the water was very very turbid and the current was flowing swiftly.   
After prodding around outside with the vexilar.  Knowing I was on 10 inches of ice I marked very little thru the ice.  However about 100 yards on the vermont side of the red bouy. I felt the worst feeling. The ice went crunch and I could feel it bending under me.  I very quickly walked back to the shanty and said nope. 

There was another guy fishing right on the bouy and he said he only caught a few yellows.  I moved into 30 fow and caught a couple yellows but the current was moving my jig so far north my vex couldnt see it!   It was soggy it was slow. Overall a yucky day. At least however I made it to shore safely! 
I was off the ice at 230 pm

That’s a bummer. We had no luck on Saturday and the current was blasting south. Water was really clear at least on the surface. Never seen whites with lockjaw like that before.
