Strawberry report 1/24/06

Needed to get outa the haze so headed to the Berry today with my dad. We arrived at 6:40 AM to fog and a brisk -16 degree's. It was a real snot freezer.....right to your face[unsure]! Tlspyder and his bro in law showed up shortly after and we were able to get one of two 4 wheelers running. So we were not able to go to the one place we had hoped to fish. We picked a closer location near the marina and shuttled out there. We drilled holes in 25-36 feet deep and caught some fish out of all of them. Used tubes mainly and caught fish on both minnows and mealy with no real favorite. It was not fast fishing by any means but my dad and I landed 13 between us and missed many others. Spyders Bro in law was on a roll for awhile and prob had landed 10 fish by the time we left including one over the slot just as we left. Hopefully Spyder will post up so we know how they did after we left at 1:30. Once the sun came up it warmed up and I even took one jacket off but the car temp only read 5 degree's when we were leaving. There is a good 18+ inches of ice with 4-6 inches of crusty powder on the ice. Perfect for sleds or wheelers and a little challenging for walking too far.

Spyder thanks for the taxi shuttle service this morning. It was great to get to fish a new area and get to fish with you and Matt again. Hopefully you got the skunk off in the afternoon....[pirate]
