Mantua (2/19) 1PM - 6 PM
Fish near the creek and then out farther north east where there is a underwater spring. Caught 1 keeper perch and 3 keeper bluegill and a bunch of little bluegill. Had read about people catching them in 12 feet so moved west a 1/4 mile. Caught some more keeper perch and bluegill. Used my Aquaview inside the ice tent. It was a blast watching the fish hit the ice fly. A lot of the fish I caught because of the camera. They would just suck it in without ever pulling on the line. We caught a trout that must have had over a hundred bluegill and perch minows in its belly. It was one fat fish.
Hyrum (2/20) (11:30 - 1:30)
Waisted my time trying to find something by the dam. Fished from 20 to 60 feet. Saw some people a 1/4 mile east of the marina along the north shore. Pulled my sled over that way and saw that they were catching some nice bluegill. By that time, I only had twenty minutes left to fish before I had to leave for an appointment. Fished near the fellas that where pulling them in but didn't even get a bite. It was the big bad skunk for me that day. I'll be back another day with more time to figure those pesky bluegills out.
