Strawberry - BFT's In2Fishig invited my twin and I to join him and his girlfriend to Renegade. The road was slick, but completly passible in a 4wd. We arrived at 6am in the dark to an air temp of 9F and a breeze that can only be described as chilly. Walked forever and once the holes were drilled we started to get fish before the sun came up. Once the sun appeared things slowed down and much to In2Fishing's dismay a large family group set up within 10 yards of our spot and started to drill holes everywhere. Wonder if they walked all that way because they saw a tent, or they had plans of fishing the exact same location? Cosidering we were the only group in that area it seemed strange to say the least.
Not happy with the sudden lack of action (TyeDye and In2Fishing both pulled up some crawdads with chub meat) we moved to a new location and tried shallow (15 ft) and deep (30ft.). We spreaded out trying different depths to see which was best. Turns out the deeper water was better. With that in mind we regrouped at the deeper water and started getting into some fish. All the fish in this location were 1-2 feet off the bottom and fiesty!
Eventually the wind really ramped up and not only were we thankful for the ice tent...but the new tent heater too! That thing was worth every penny today! Around 2:30pm the action was gone
and when we stuck our heads out of the tent....everyone else was either gone or leaving. Following suit we made the long treck back to the car. While packing up we ran into BFT's SEETSNFR who said he had a similar day as ours.
The days totals were.....TyeDye = 1 cutt at 16.5in....In2Fishing got 6 cutts between 14.5in to 19in....His girlfriend got 8 cutts between 16in and 21in and I got 6 cutts between 14.75in and 20.5 inches.
TyeDye used a Manic Tube Jig in radical glow tipped a corn flavored salmon egg. To catch the crawdad he used a silver kastmaster with chub meat.
While it was dark I caught a fish using a Pink/Yellow Neon Tiger Icefly that unknown to me.....glows in the dark, tipped with a nightcrawler. Once daylight appeared I caught 5 fish on a 3 inch orange glow jig tipped with a nightcrawler. Too bad I took so long to switch to that....once I got it rigged I couldn't keep the fish off.
In2Fishing and his girlfriend used a Manic Tube Jig in radical glow tipped with chub meat and eventually corn flavored salmon eggs. They also used a rainbow ice fly jig tipped with corn flavored salmon eggs and some smelly jelly.
My 1st fish of the day just as the sun was coming up, taped at 18 inches.
