Not to start a problem, but why bother posting to someone's question if you are going to taunt them with the fact that you are catching fish and they are not, instead of offering assistance? Iceshanty should be a community where people help each other out and share through experience, not a place to flaunt egos and harbor superiority complexes. JMO
Slipbob is just trying to add a little humor to a tough situation, and they were happy to shoot a PM to tell Chucker, not the world, what they do to catch lakers.
Hey, who else thinks that the reason that the lakers are being tough now is that they are moving into shallower waters and staging for the runs on the smelt in the next month or so. I'm guessing that the smelt stage on the same flats near the feeder creeks, and start minor runs into those streams earlier than most people think. My guess is that the lakers are starting to move towards those streams slowly now, they aren't really in a feeding move, more of a moving mode.
Who else thinks that the hot first ice is because that the lakers are just moving back to their feeding grounds and gorging after they spawned in Oct-Nov, where they weren't eating forever really.

For those familiar with Rogers Rock, we were about 150 yards south of Juniper Rock. We had tipups from 42' to 92'. The only flags came on those around 44-48'. We marked fish in jigging holes from 44-72'.
