We absolutely whacked the trout at Starvation on Friday! Having never caught a trout out of Starvie before, it sure was a bonus. I am definitely stoked to catch such hot, healthy trout! The three of us landed 30-plus trout (including one about 4 pounds and a skinny 23.5 inch brown). We were fishing in Rabbit Gulch. The most productive depth was over 30-32 ft. of water anywhere from 6 ft. down to the bottom. Almost any jig tipped with waxies, mealies, or even crappie nibbles seemed to work. However I had my best luck on a glow cutter bug and a chartreuse and red YUM tube. The perch were non-stop dinks, sometimes coming up 12-15 ft. off the bottom to grab a bait. We only kept the ones that wouldn't go back down. Would've been nice to see a wallie on my line, but can't complain about the fat slime rockets! Hopefully, the ice lasts a little longer so I can make one more trip out there!
