Woke up to bait tank with 8-10doz bait in it frozen up bad and bait dead in solid blocks of ice. So we scratched the live bait idea. Went to prepare to leave for boat ramp, realized I had a tire down about 10 pounds, half way through airing it up half of the valve stem shoots off. Good thing I have 2 boats. Hooked up the little boat hoping I had charged batteries and a 2-stroke willing to crank in 20 degree wind chills and temps below freezing. Met Fogman at Ramp 4 and headed out. First hour produced 2 perch. Decided to move a little and on the idle speed search found a mass of fish. Worked them for about 15 min catching nice 5-6# Striper until they disappeared. Moved a little more and got back on some good fish. Finished having to move about 50’ to find more fish every time it slacked off. Finished with over 25 Striper, atleast 15 keepers and 3 perch. We missed nearly as many as we caught due to a hook issue on one of the jigs not being realized for quite some time. Fished 4 hours, all the Striper and 1 perch caught the last 2.5 hours. Had a blast. Thanks Fogman for getting us on some fish!

Mike, thanks for inviting me to ride with you. It was a blast! Wish it didn’t take me 7 pulled hooks on good fish to realize I had a prong straightened. But they were biting so fast, I was in a hurry to get the spoon back down there. Guess you’re now a believer in those little chunks of metal.

I love learning new styles of fishing and tactics for different species. It gives me more opportunities when I’m blessed with the time to go. Now spring needs to hurry up and I need another foot of water so I can keep the boat in the water!
