Budd Lake Bust

[hard (water) luck]

  Fished from 8-12:30 not one flag besides a couple of wind hits--very windy out there today--had about 5" most areas i drilled--fished right off the guardrail on 46--nearer the eastern end--moved the tipups all around  --nothing--two skunks two weeks in a row--with the up and down weather not a good start of the season for me at all---

I saw you out there and wondered how you did.i catch pike over there open water there is a rock pile over in that area and you get smallmouth there sometimes to.I have fished Budd a few times this year,I live right here and it has been very slow I have just caught a few pickerel and a couple small pike.

Fished last Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at two different lakes for muskies and havnt caught one yet this season. Roughly 40hours with 5 tip ups fishless. not to mention I fished with a bunch of guys each day 4 guys two days, 3 guys two days and 1 other guy another so far this year. roughly 120 hours of 5 tip ups in the water between everyone and today I saw the first one caught. So be thankful your not chasing skies.

Will say pike action was pretty good first ice. No huge pike but did catch a few decent  and saw a few other 25-33" pike caught
