Even a blind squirrel finds a nut on occasion.
How was the ice holding up?
About 7” with 2-3 inches of snow on top. PM if either of two balmy days work.
I tried a chubby darter and had multiple rejections. Switched up to a slender spoon tipped with a minnow head & game on.... Jax in Lafayette usually has minnows & I think Bass Pro in Stapleton has minnows as well. There are regulations about not using live minnows in the mountain lakes, but totally ok out on the plains lakes.
Do you guys rip blade baits? They work quite well at dusk. And jigging raps.
^ This is all you need. Naked heavy metal, baby! But if you must:-BPS no longer sells minnows.-Valley Country near the Crack sells them.-Cabela's sells them.-JAX shops are the best options for large shiners.-Petsmart often has small minnows.Tim, what evening you going?...
Looking at sunday afternoon. Calm W and SW winds sunday/monday. Suppose to shift to east wind tuesday and i wont drive 4 hours to fish an east wind. My one and only superstition. Prob gonna bring my LED lantern and fish til 7pm or so. Stay at a cheap hotey Ft Morgan or Brush, fish monday morning for a few. Wont even have to get up early
Can't go Sunday, I have to regulate the sky carp population before season is over.
I may be going on perch patrol Saturday, but I'll text ya if I head out that way Sun
Did you regulate the sky carp population on Sunday? Freakin amazing how many are out there, sounds like WW3 every time I’m out there. I bird hunt a lot in the fall, but my new Gsp pup’s ears turn off when his nose turns on. He spent a night in Yuma county when he ran off and didn’t come back. I was blessed to find him the next day when I was posting lost dog signs. Didn’t hunt him anymore, won’t till his ears turn on.
