Yeah Goody where at?  ;D

We fished Lost last night. Within the first 5 minutes had a 12 inch speck iced. We thought we were gonna hammer them after that. Spent 3 hours on the ice and that was the only fish worth mentioning. Kind of depressing, we could mark fish all the way up 5 feet, but couldnt get the suckers to bite ANYTHING! lost lake lake is either hate it or love it. Right now I hate it   :'(

Ice is just fine for now even though it looks ugly.  Done well on everything from eyes to cats to gills...caught bass, crappie, perch, etc.  Today ended with over 60 gills, a bass and an eye, but very slow overall really.  Got some really nice cats and eyes earlier in the week.  Larger gills have been harder to come by, but get some now and then when you can get it past the little zingers.  Caught fish on the north end, east shore, south west shoreline, nw arm, etc.....fished about everywhere but north of the Marina and the southeast shore and done well in most places I have fished really.  All fish released.
