View Full Version : Raft Report
Met up with Aaron, Sly, Ticketripper and a few others today at the raft and did pretty good. Had to work for them but ended up with 10 keeper gills/pumpkinseed and two perch of decent size(8-9 inches) Glow Blue Shiner was the best jig out today, some fish on Glow Green Bug Eye and Glow Purple too, all original size ficious jigs. Single Waxie did the trick for me today. Fish were on the bottom to about two feet off at times. Ice was at least 15inches thick.
Good to fish with you again Sly and Ticketripper and it was great to finally be on the ice with you Aaron, hopefully we can meet up again very soon. Your getting the hang of the gills through the ice, just need more trips under your belt ;) -Bryon

Got out today with my son finally. We were in grabbing a bite to eat around 2:30 and back out until about 5.
Nothing to report unfortunately.
We'll be heading back out tomorrow either by the Raft or Metro.

I was out on the bay today, too. The bite was good in the morning. Then, at about noon they just shut down. Ended up leavin with a dozen. Man, I was sitting on a pool of water by the time I left at 4:30.

Nate, Hank, sorry we couldn't have met up, I didn't know you guys were there, next time I head out I'll give you both a message to see if we can't work something out -Bryon
