MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I'm wondering myself, I was thinking about going tomorrow.......
Three of us from the Bitterroot fished at Georgetown Yesterday (12/6). We fished Badger Bay and there was a solid 6 inches of good ice. Can't speak for the east side of the Lake with all the springs etc. There were a few fishing around Denton's Point. The salmon have not moved over to the West Side, at least where we were. We caught a few stragglers but no schools appeared on our three Vexilars all day. Trout were biting pretty good. Lots of small ones and we kept a limit a peice of 15"-16" inchers for the frying pan. Must have landed and released near 10 Brook Trout between us which tells me they have increased over the last several years of C@Release. About 4 inches of new fresh snow from the night before and that was all. Roads yesterday were all plowed and good. Have a good trip if you go over. ps any news of ice at Brown's Lake?
Z2, I've caught them on small glo jigs while catching trout, seen them caught there on corn. No rhyme or reason for it to me, the guys I've talked to who had 5 gallon buckets full of kokanee were using tiny custom made glo jigs and fishing from midnight to sunrise.
Sounds like exactly what I use, but with a 10-12 inch leader and a small cigar shaped green glo jig instead of the glow hook. It's murder on perch too. The "experts" (they had tons of kokers on the ice) were using tiny pink glo jigs.
I'm pretty sure they said under a chrome pimple with a glow insert if you can find them, I've looked and haven't seen them around. Like I said they were fishing at night and charging the jigs/pimple really good. I haven't ever tried it myself.
Thanks for the ice info. Just logged on to post a question about the ice depth at geargetown. I have never been there before and will be going with a few buddies on sunday. Just wondering if anyone has any directions to areas to start poking holes without stepping on anyone's toes about their secret sport.
