Sucking so far
« on: Dec 20, 2009, 11:33 AM »
2 trips out so far without a keeper >:( Last week at Wyth lake and yesterday on a private sand pit have yielded only a few small fish with many lookers. Tried about 10 different bait/jig combos yesterday and while some proved very interesting to the fish but not enough to eat. Did catch one 8" white bass which will probably signal the death of this pit for fishing once they take over it. Back in Oct I saw a school  of whites blow up on some minnows( 50 or 60 blow ups at the same time) never seen them before this winter. Thinking they may have come in from the Shellrock during last years floods as this 14 acre pit is only a 100 yards from the river. Hoping things improve with all the dollars I have spent on gear so far this year.
 Luckily after Tue I'm done working for the year and plan on drilling as many holes as I can, Last year by this time the freezer had a good stock of fillets in it after just a few outings around Waterloo.

I've went twice and haven't had a bite yet. I would be happy with some small gills!

I am done reading the fishing report on the DNR website.  It said the Ave of the Saints pond was producing.  I took my daughter there to see if she could at least catch some small ones to keep her interested.  Nothing, we didn't even mark fish.  I will just stick to the places I know produce.

 We've had a real hot bite on our two trips out this season. Last season it took us a couple of times before we ran into any kind of success.
