FG Bash closer 1/24-1/26
« on: Jan 27, 2014, 08:03 PM »
Arrived at lost dog bright and early to a few trailes and camps all set up for the weekends closing tourney. A few of our friends there were just rising and getting the coffee going. We had our minds on getting camp set up and doing some mack fishing. After a little discussion on location we set out to make camp. This is where we called home for a couple of days, even got the militia flag fying





Drilling holes in to close to cliffs proved once again not a good idea when the ice is pushing down, luckily only a few holes gave us trouble and not too much water. Most of it froze the 1st night







1st fish of the trip was phishinphools 18in pup and was the only mack we seen all weekend on the ice



what a view in this area, lots of scenery to soak in



The 1st night proved to be the best for the burbot and these were the only pics i got that night. This was they're 1st fish this trip
Prospectors 1st but not last



and lukes



This was our take for both teams the 1st night



While i was drinking coffee and eating some breakfast this surprise came along taking my dropping jig. I appoligize now for the bad hair day in the 2nd pic. lol





Was a very slow day fishing with only a couple of bites and fish on the finder. While eating some dinner i caught another cool pic from the tent of the setting sun on some of the cliffs across the way



We end up with 49 burbot and 1st place for the smallest. Never though i would see so many guys excited about a 9.5in fish  :roflmao: :roflmao: What a great weekend with friends doing what we love, catching fish and telling lies  @)

Nice koke! We are heading to the Gorge for the weekend of the 14th. It will be our 6th annual trip there. We've never caught a Koke but would love to. Any advice? I haven't really seen anything about them through the ice over there, just soft water stuff.
On the ice again, just can't wait to get on the ice again, the life I love is catching fish with my friends, and I can't wait to get on the ice again. "kinda Willie Nelson"

They are an unusual catch in the winter for sure. Prospector caught one in December also. Here's the link to that post and the koke was bigger

FG trip 12/13-12/15

I hooked up with mine when i was fishing my white curly tail jig at 10fow, i seen some fish on the bottom and as soon as i started dropping i noticed a mark chasing my jig down. I stopped it thinking it was a pup or bow and as soon as it stopped BAM he was on. So no real tactic just luck i guess

Thanks for the quick reply and info. We usually fish for macs in about 80 fow. By the looks of the other link you gave me and with what you said about 10 fow, they must behave like bows kinda (closer to the bank). And unless I get out voted and have to go fish for burbs, we will be in deeper water. I prefer the macs. Some of the guys I go with like the burbs. Maybe we will get lucky one day too. Our first year over there I marked a fish about 30' down in 80 fow, so I dropped a line down to there dead sticking it and picked up a bow about 3 lbs. Other than that year I've never seen anything else suspended like that, just a couple macs at about 60'. I actually got them too. Thanks again! :)
