Hey Grump - just curious - but what are the markings on your wall in the last pic there?  It almost looks like you keep track of the fish you catch/sizes/etc... ?

[grumpymoe]

you're exactly right about tracking caught fish....but its from last year and a different lake...i just wish the start of this year was anywhere near what that was.....oh well....its early and i'm keeping my hopes up....thanks...Grump

I joked the other night that I was going to start asking the bait shop for 4 minnows instead of the 2 dozen I usually get because I never use more than 4 on any trip.   

nice looking eye too by the way

this just poped into my head and i was wondering what rig your using.

[Waubay Fisher]

Ahhh.. gotcha!  I'm not right about a LOT of things - but I thought I was about that one at least   Indeed it was a nice eye as well!

my setup is a zebco rod with my shimano baitcaster.....spiderw ire stealth line....snap swivel and a chartreuse slowpoke tipped with a live chub.....MM is using a zebco combo with stren 6lb test original.....snapswive l and the same slowpoke with live minnow....have been trying quite a few combinations....and the trigger on most fish so far has been the above...actually according to rockbottom, the fish are concentrating in shallow...2-3 ft of water....i am in 6ft.....once the ice thickens, hopefully they will get out our way....its just a matter of time....Grump
