Man would love for a report worth reading but...took 6 guys I play tennis with up for the weekend (insert pansy joke here I can take it!). 1 guy who had his own stuff and 5 more. Got in two good hours Friday pre dusk with 4 of us that I really thought would produce something but no. Saturday we got out in the storm...bearable but at some point your stuff stops working. Couldn't land a thing...deep, tight, high, low. In hindsight, should've loaded up on med+ shiners and heavier weights, newbies manning their traps with slush will kill a dainty smelt in 20 seconds. Oh well, that's the whole thing, gaining experience. Appreciate all the info here...not nearly the sportsman half of you guys on here are but love the sport and love spreading it to those who would otherwise never set foot on the ice. I'll be on Ossipee for the Derby and then back to Wolfeboro 2x....got decent stuff here on the Northshore MA so hope to be out this weekend. Good Luck all, hope I can make this a good season.
