Well we didn't smoke 'em out, but plenty of action. It was definitely worth the trip. Best day bite, the last 2 weeks. Can't wait to get back out to that private lake tomorrow. Hopefully we don't have to weed out too many dinks. More of them bass and calico would be nice as well.
I didn't do well after you guys left. I ended up keeping 19 gills & a 13 inch crappie. The bite got worse as the day wore on. Didn't even catch too many perch. I stayed 'till 8 PM & after dark I only got one dink perch & a miniture gill. Good luck today & I think I'm gonna wait 'till tuesday to get back out again. Hopefully the gill bite will pick up then.
We went back out Sunday, later in the morning and fished till sunset, and didn't do as good as Sat. Ended up with about 20 keeper perch and 3 gills between the 3 of us. Most of the perch were cought on our tip-ups. Got cleaned on them multiple times. We had a pretty consitant jig bite, but very lite biters. So needless to say, that accounted for a lot of the cleaned minnows off the tip-ups as well. We threw back probably anywhere about 20-30 dinks. There was a week cold front that went through the Sat. night, so as with the other rebels, we defintely blame that, for the slow bite. Good luck to you Gillahollic, and maybe see you out there again.Good Fishin'...SalmonRebel.
I'm heading back over there today. Hopefully the bite will change for the better!
STRUCTURE, STRUCTURE, STRUCTURE!!!!! The aqua vu confirmed we were fishin over TREES!!! the water was very murky as well. my (great) uncle told me that spot produced the same results at the same time 20 years ago! Boy was he right on. Its nice to listen to someone who's done it a few times in their life and actually get the same results!
The 3 of us were there last night. Ice Rebel was onto a bunch of perch with his tip-ups. I think, it was over 20 that he kept, and probably threw back as many dinks. Me and Rebelfisher jigged right next to each other and got onto a decent calico bite for a little while. He picked up about a dozen keepers, plus a few gills. And while I didn't get into as many, I picked up 2 beauties, one pushing 14inches and the other a 13 incher. We had tip-ups out too, and had a lot of dinks hitting earlier on, then we were getting our bait stripped with out even setting off the flags. Being zoned in on the jig bite, we didn't go around as often to check the tip-ups. Next time we go, we're going to concentrate on the jigging, and set up only a few tip-ups close by. Let us know how you made out. Talk to you again,...SalmonRebel.
Fished yesterday from 11AM 'till 7:30. Not many gills, no crappie & only a few perch. I didn't keep any fish because I didn't start getting them until almost dark. Tried many different spots & the gills I did get were right in the middle of the lake. Was that your holes near the outlet?
Gillaholic...the holes by the outlet was from one guy fishin there on sunday. he was by himself and i was watchin him...didnt seem to be picking anything up. there was also a group of guys towards my uncles dock, and they only caught a few tiny perch. It seems the best spot is anywhere from where you were on saturday up to where we were. and right in the middle of the point. There is tree braches down there (i brought my aqua vu )and our tip ups were constantly getting snagged. Id like to get there saturday well before dawn for possibly another calico bite.
Thanks for the info & good luck to you Rebel Fishers! Don't look like I am going to make it there this weekend but I will be there next week.
Rebels,I'm fishing Sylvan Lake tommorrow night and would like extend an inviation to join us. Hopefully we'll catch some crappies and walleyes and maybe an occassional stockie. Hope to see you-all there.nuangolasusquehanna (my yankee mothers only REBEL son).
Nuangola I was wondering if this is an open invatation?I am looking for a different body of H20 to fish . Would like to meet up with some people instead of just typing on the computer.
Hi, Shantysitter. Haven't talked in a bit. Maybe I shouldn't have thrown the wisecrack your way. It's just my rebel ways that I can't control. On a serious note. Me and the other rebels never made it to Harvey's yet. I'd still like to try a little bit of that before the end. And like Rebelfisher noted before. We plan to head out to sylvan again. So just shoot a PM sometime, or if you want, I'll throw one your way.Good Fishin'...SalmonRebel.
No problem. I'll catch up with you-all sometime soon. Let's hit Harvey's before the ice leaves us. yours in ice fishing,Nuangola
