Skunked
« on: Feb 23, 2014, 03:01 PM »
Was out for 1/2 day, and got skunked. Have we reached the mid winter SLO down ? Had a flasher and looked at depths from 6 -22feet. Nada?

I have had more ice time this year than any other since I have taken up this sport.
 With that said, This has been the worst year for me as for catching fish.
I did well the first week of ice. Have not had a good day since.
 I get out about 3 times a week and cant ever add up a limit of any fish total.
 Trust me, I have the knowledge and the gear. They just WONT bite

Had been doing pretty good up until about a week ago. It's just not as if the bite is off, I can't even find'em with the electronics. Oh well, be back at it next week. They gotta eat sometime!

I've been catching tons of fish, just not many keepers.  Shoot for the late afternoon / evening bite

Mid-season lull, it happens, Started off good, but all the snow on the ice slows it down.
