couldnt make it today minnow. still debating whether to go to boysen tomorrow or sleep in and hit sunshine. looks like the perch bite was a little slow today. did you hit the spot you showed me?

Nice fish, I sepnt 2 hours at the Sisters without graphing a fish. Sometimes it's best to bag it and move, which is what I did. I caught 3 bass around this size 15-16 inch range, kept one, let this big boy with the lure in his mouth go on his way after pics. Wound up with 15 keeper perch on the day. Sweet...LT finally catches a fish.

No did tough creek instead, what do ya mean slow

I thaught I did pretty good considering all the fish reports I've been hearing. Caught all them in about a 2 hour span then the bite was over and I left.

a buddy and i were at sisters on monday... only 4 perch but they were nice ones. one older feller came by and visited for a bit, real nice guy with a trap shelter and vex18... sounded like he fished quite a bit and travelled for it. said he was hitting a tourney at meteetsee soon...

tuesday my buddy wanted to try badwater bay and that it was... the sisters were pretty clear but the water in badwater was stained or cloudy... we limited on 'bows and he lost a nice rod/reel and holder when it got SLAMMED right down the hole!

our two biggest 'bows were 22" and 24" the rest were all a smidgin under 20"... big fatties!

he didn't even get a chance to get out of his chair either!

overall the perch were slow and i didn't mark many in either spots... nice trip though!

ice was great and should hold for quite awhile...

How's the ice at Boysen? I haven't been there in about a month - had been too slow. Was @ Pathfinder yesterday and with 30mph wind and temps about 50 the ice was starting to get honeycombed in spots and the water around the edges was rapidly increasing. It will definately plank time there by the weekend. Had some buddies planning a trip there (pathfinder) this weekend, but if the weather keeps up I'm thinking about trying to get them back up to Boysen if that ice seems better. Any info on ice and/or bite is greatly appreciated.

LT · « **Reply #196 on:** Feb 25, 2009, 10:57 AM »

I've only been to Trout Bay and Badwater, but excellent, thick ice at both even on the edges. Don

wyiceman · « **Reply #197 on:** Feb 25, 2009, 11:02 AM »

Excellent, Thanks for the info Don.

LT · « **Reply #198 on:** Feb 25, 2009, 11:11 AM »

If ya go to Trout Bay, you can't reach the Sissies...big ole pressure ridge splits and runs looks like almost all way to Tough Creek. So if you want the Sisters, you'll have to go in from Cottonwood

I think. Ask Gamb00ler. Don out

wyoutdoors · « **Reply #199 on:** Feb 25, 2009, 12:42 PM »

ice was SOLID at sisters and badwater... did great on 'bows in BW about 100yds out from the rock walls in 35-38 fow.

I always thought that they would have to be there. The ling we caught there were gorged with crappie minnows. Might have to give it a try. I imagine they are suspended somewhere. East or west side? A few crappie fillets would be awesome. I haven't had any in a long time.

Three of the guys that were going with us bailed the last minute so maybe we will see some of you guys out there this weekend.

Think I'm going to try trout bay with dad, if its not mobbed with people Saturday. Anyone know how far toward the sister's the pressure ridge is?

minnowguy · « **Reply #204 on:** Feb 26, 2009, 03:19 PM »

You cant miss it its about 4 to 5 feet tall when I was by the sisters a couple weeks ago. not sure where it starts at towards wilson bay but it goes a long ways accross the lake.

bbkyle35 · « **Reply #205 on:** Feb 26, 2009, 03:23 PM »

well the plan is to fish the hump in trout bay or the basin around it. If thats where it runs i should be ok.

wyoutdoors · « **Reply #206 on:** Feb 26, 2009, 03:34 PM »

there's a ridge near badwater as well, fwiw...

minnowguy · « **Reply #207 on:** Feb 26, 2009, 05:42 PM »

I goofed it is north of trout bay you should be ok.

duckman111 · « **Reply #208 on:** Feb 26, 2009, 06:33 PM »

me and minnow will be there tues havent decided just where yet. as far as the crappie didnt get any real exact info so your guess is probably as good as mine.

MountainMan · « **Reply #209 on:** Feb 27, 2009, 09:16 AM »

Can someone tell me how early the bait shops open in Shoshone on Saturday? I would greatly appreciate it.
I'll have my radio on if anyone wants to give a shout out.

Thanks,
MM
