MGB, yes relocation was the key. I was out of my "territory" over at the ladders since I had never fished there and in the dark is not the best way to learn an area when you are afraid of running over a tube or tune or getting too shallow. It was a really dark night too until the moon peaked over the mountain about 2:30. When I headed back across the lake I decided to try by best ice fishing spot and that was where we caught the fish. It was my first experience with vertical jigging on soft water. But it was just like ice fishing only with a longer rod. We had a great time. And yes I would still love to hook up with you on a strawberry excursion either before or after it freezes! Maybe we can even get B4B to come along but he's prob pretty busy right now with the hunt and all.
Hope you guys find a few today like you always do. I'll look for your report later!
